In January we did a very cold walk at Winnekenni Castle in Haverhill. I would have loved a few of these spicy sweet Limoncello Candied Ginger Scones to eat on the drive home, that’s for sure.

Turkey Soup with Lemon, Farro and White Beans – and Getting Published!
Writing to escape the pandemic has also meant a blog, cooking, hiking and lots of days spent thinking about my past. Today I submitted a piece about bread to an online magazine.

Butternut Squash, Goat Cheese, Pears and Walnuts – The Perfect Hand Pie

What’s a Microwave? What’s a Tagine? Plus an Amazing Lamb, Apricot and Prune Tagine.

White Chocolate Apricot Almond Babka
Babka is a “wow” recipe, and rightly so. It takes time, patience, and the ability to really read a recipe. But it’s so worth it when you’ve finished. I hope you enjoy my version featuring white chocolate, apricots and almonds.
