Another easy meal inspired by Davina McCall's recipe. It reminds me a lot our Polish old school "fasolka po bretońsku", made with butter beans, smoked sausage, root veggies and lots of tomato sauce. It definitely has this vibe but more on the spicy, smoky side. Even though my partner is not a fan of this … Continue reading chorizo & bean winter soup

This recipe was a total improvisation and actually it was made in the process of cooking.

hearty & warming lamb stew (with a slow cooking option)
January and February period I would say it's the coldest in Scotland. Temperature doesn't get very low in the city, but on the days when it's very windy or wet, temperature around 0℃ might feel like good -6℃. It's still not extremely cold, comparing to other European countries, but if you get used to milder … Continue reading hearty & warming lamb stew (with a slow cooking option)
