Greedy Gourmet

Here is a delicious recipe for one of UK’s most unpopular vegetables.

Before I came to live in the UK I have never come across celeriac. When I asked people how to prepare it I was met with blank stares and shrugging shoulders. No one seemed to care. After all potato mash is the staple food in this country.

There is nothing more fabulous than pairing meat or poultry with something sweet and tangy. These onions definitely hit the spot. What I love about them is their versatility.

Visitors have to dive in quickly to get their share because when the Greedy Gourmet comes along it is highly [...]

I keep a stash of recipes that are ready for publishing in a folder. Ready to do some spring cleaning I paged to the oldest one. Yikes! September was only yesterday, wasn’t it? But…but…but it’s 6 months ago! How could this recipe go unnoticed by me? Okay, let’s admit it; it’s not as fancy as [...]
