The Pie

This is a little repost of one of my favorite pies, apricot & chicken pastilla, it's a great pie for a special guest/guests and just needs a lovely crisp green salad to accompany it (nothing else) A great make ahead dish, as filling is best prepped the day before.

I know who I will be making this again for in May ‘24? We hopefully look forward to a visit from Ozlem again and will be organizing a cookery day or 2 at and we are so looking forward to it!

Anyone interested in adding their name provisionally to our list just message me.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone ❤️

2023 - Top Nine

A New Year - 2024

There are years that throw you a curve ball (or several), lessons learnt, natural disasters, war, out of control events, financial struggles & this certainly has been a year. You loose people you love, others disappoint & let you down, you struggle to get through a day never mind a year.

But it’s the unique, kind & extraordinary human beings that really made my 2023 a “Special Year” The Türkiye earthquake proved that generosity of others in the face of adversity & acts of human kindness together with determined strength, brought people together in a unique way.

New friendships were sealed for life, family & friends showing kindness & compassion, all highlighted perfectly in my top nine images which has determined the content of my post. Everyone pulled together & what we achieved stretched a long way. My love of food & cooking plays a large role in my life, giving food to those with an empty plate, especially children, remains a priority.

We continue to raise funds and disperse to those in need, huge thank you to Ozlem Warren for her wonderful friendship & donations of cookery book sales, (just message me for details) donations & book donations will be dispersed in the New Year. A huge heartfelt well done & thank you to everyone ❤️

I wish you all a Happy & Prosperous New Year, I’m sure 2024 will have its curve balls but much happiness & change also. ❤️
