PASS THE BISCUITS
‘These are my Cornish fairings (February) that I made at the start of the February half-term break. It took a lot of willpower not to eat them all before I took a photo to send to you! They were yummy and so easy to make.’
WINNER
‘After Christmas I always look for new healthy recipes to tempt the family with after all the turkey and mince pies. I tried the miso salmon and veg traybake (January). It was so easy to make and plates were scraped clean. Family loved it!’
CLEMENTINE CAKE
‘There are lots of lovely citrus fruits in the shops just now, including the clementines I used in this whisky marmalade cake (February). I also used homemade marmalade! Love this orange time of the year.’

Being such a gifted wordsmith he was able to transport me into the moment and to convey the enormity of the gratitude he felt. Magical reading, thank you to whoever invited him to the page.

There is no way they were going to be stored for two weeks in an airtight container; they were gone in a few days! By the way, Cornish fairings, like their Cornish counterparts pasties and jam and cream scones, always taste better with a cup of tea.
