We’ve had a few non-pasta recipes as of late, so it’s high time that I post another one! It’s very much in the depths of autumn now, so the fresh summery produce of a couple of months ago is starting to fade from memory somewhat (even with today’s global food market you can still generally find the same stuff in the supermarket year-round, but it’s never as good as when it’s in season)...

I’ve been holding onto this recipe for a little while - we’ve had quite a warm summer here in the south-east of the UK so it didn’t quite feel appropriate to post such a hearty and warm dish while all I wanted to eat was salad and ice cream...

I guess you could call spaghetti bolognese a family recipe for me. I have many memories of eating it as a child, both at my grandmother’s house where she’d use a sachet of Colman’s Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe Mix and stir in some baked beans for good measure…

Ah, the humble sausage roll - stalwart of picnics and children’s parties alike. Growing up not eating meat (in the time before Greggs’ vegan sausage rolls) I always missed out on the crisp pastry and savoury filling that a good homemade sausage roll promises.
