Recipes we love: 2014

Why write this?
We are always trying out new recipes but despite sites such as www.eatyourbooks.com (giving ingredients but not the recipe) we get frustrated by having to carry the recipes around in our heads when we travel.

This is one answer: to store them on a blog to ease the burden on memory, reduce frustration and to enable us to enjoy our favourite things anywhere in the world.

As for our culinary expertise...we are not master chefs and we subscribe to the simple mantra: "we can read therefore we can cook.."

We love culture, travel and multiple forms of exercise, but above all love trying out new recipes and delicious food as much or more :)

We are fed up with instructions missed out of recipes, or not explained properly, but as we are not the experts, please accept our apologies in advance if we miss something in our recipes...

Starting in March 2014, we have decided to record 3-4 recipes per month; a mixture of delicious food inspired by a variety of chefs, with some of our family favourites.

Neeps and Tatties are not on the menu (until we can find a recipe with haggis that we both like)

We thought we would start off with what to do with leftovers e.g. Egg whites and cold potatoes and Chocolate (somehow we always have some of this available to eat ; it just slips into the shopping basket by itself..honest!) plus Eric's scone recipe and a fab rack of lamb recipe from Otto Lenghi.

After that, who knows...
