I’ve been dreaming of going to ⁦Ballymaloe House Hotel⁩ for twenty years. The person who first told me about it died 16 years ago. And finally I went. And it was all even better than I imagined, from the banks of wild garlic to the dessert trolley to the brown bread at breakfast.

Thank you so much to the @fortnums judges for deciding to give me this year’s Food Book award for Invitation to a Banquet! 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊

Just 6 more followers and I reach 18k which would be rather marvellous, wouldn't it? ;)

Pulled Pork. A new term? Of course it's not :)

First recorded in 1737 it was used for poultry & later applied to rabbit & pork and it means cooking the meat for a long time so that it's easily torn or cut into smaller bits. Interesting?

European civilization is built on ham and cheese, which allowed protein to be stored throughout the icy winters.
