But I am cooking quite a lot at the moment compared to other times when my backlog just about disappears.

I go through periods where I have too much to write about but at the moment it's the opposite. Due to a recent chaotic period at work I've mainly been cooking favourite recipes and I keep forgetting to bring out the camera when I'm cooking something new.<br /><br />I love the sound of the beetroot greens and chickpea curry!

Our dumplings were definitely stickier than Isa's original and a bit doughier than a scone.

I'm sure we need to taste the not so great to really enjoy the spectacular, and discover what our own tastebuds like :)<br />That said, some of these do look rather yummy to me...especially that kale chickpea polenta dish and the pizza. coconutandberrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808077876445841179noreply@blogger.com
