Broad Bean Couscous

I've been eating lots of broad beans recently at restaurants but have never cooked them myself, so I thought I'd give it a go. I decided to toss them with some couscous and serve with the spiced roast lamb I made. The beans reminded me of edamame be (read full article)

Spiced Roast Lamb

It is summer but our oven has been working more than it should be. And in fact, more than the winter months. I'm not a huge fan of salads or cold noodles, I prefer my meals hot - stews and braises..YUM. Standing over the stove cooking in the kitchen (read full article)
