The wife and son usually go to Thailand during the early part of the year for 2 weeks and all of August each year, but Covid has put paid to that. She’s resigned to the fact that this will go on possibly for all of 2021 in some form or other. So we will endeavour to get her family to the UK on 6 mon...

My kid loves these Beans. We make our own bread and he adds chilli flakes. Wolfs them down.

I make Sprout from time to time. I steam a kilo of sprouts for 5 min, no longer, keeping a few cooked sprouts aside for garnish. Then put the rest into a litre of full cream milk, bring to the simmer, add salt, pepper and a minced clove of garlic, blitz with a hand blender and add a few small pieces...
