I'm in wild garlic heaven at the moment. I've already made wild garlic & cheddar biscuits twice, eaten my weight in wild garlic pesto, and have some pickled wild garlic buds resting in the fridge. Another quick way to include
Wild Garlic, Parsley & Ground Elder Cheese Spread
My love for wild garlic knows no bounds, but this simple recipe combines two of my favourite foraged spring greens - wild garlic (ramsons) and ground elder - together with some parsley. This cheese spread is delicious on oatcakes or

Kohlrabigemüse – German Kohlrabi, Carrot & Potato Stew
Kohlrabi is probably one of my favourite vegetables. It's pretty much a staple of German cuisine, but here in Scotland it's not as common. I've never seen any in the supermarkets, but I'm usually able to find it in one

Gebrannte Mandeln – German Candied Almonds

Halloween Pumpkin Spice Cookies
When it's there's a storm brewing outside, and Halloween is just around the corner, it's a perfect excuse to hunker down indoors and bake some spooky cookies. My 8 yr old and I really had fun making these together. It
