This dish became an over-dinner favourite. Again I ignored the RAF cookbook, which was soup, in favour of this dish which popped on a few websites as 'must try' Serbian favourite. This is essentially skinless sausages, made from mince, seemingly any variation with spices and herbs added, and traditionally cooked on a charcoal barbeque. Due …

Baking – mixed success
As we start losing teams at this stage, I thought I’d better get a wriggle on and let you know some of the other things I cooked over the last few weekends. It’s been busy, and not at all successful. So this a double portion of baking today. I made croissants again, having bought new …
Appelvlaai

I used the recipe from the RAF cookbook which is a chicken dish with a yogurt dressing, lemony rocket salad, and lavash. This is served with a quick cooked flatbread.

I agree wholeheartedly with her views on progress and hope it continues to make the experience safer and more welcoming. Effectively remaining neutral, …
Wales and their cakes
Welsh cakes If you've never eaten a Welsh cake, you've missed out. They're delicious, and I don't care that you don't like dried fruit, I'm pretty sure you're still going to love Welsh cakes.The first time I ate Welsh cakes was with a Welsh friend, who lived nearby (not in Wales). A bunch of her …
