This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies was one I was intrigued to try since it looked like a take on a favourite recipe of ours – Mustard Bâtons (which we make with mustard, but also cheese, tapenade and even jam or Nutella!). Now, those could not be easier (made with store-bought puff […]
Soda bread rolls

It’s the Gratin de Pâtes au Jambon (Cheesy Pasta Bake) from In the […]

Regular readers will know that typically, we all make the same recipe each week we post but since shopping is a (non contact) sport these days and we can’t be sure […]
