Millet is a much underrated and underused grain. Often thought of as budgie food in the UK, it is the staple food of around half of the population of the world. Originating in Africa and China it is a small grain rich in B vitamins and manganese and very versatile. I love it because it […]

Asparagus is here. In-season asparagus is incredible. For many reasons. It is a magical crop that takes a few years to reach its peak and carry on delivering, it can turn your wee green and make it smell odd (in some people with that genetic predisposition)! So far so brilliant.
