Two months already that we have started Everyone’s kitchen from home!
It is always amazing to see that one recipe lead to different preparations: More vegetables, less salt, more spices… And this recipe become your own! Even if we can’t get together for now, we are delighted to share with you those creations!
Thank you to Duncan, Fiona G, Fiona M, Frances, Ian, Marnie, Marta and Ula for your pictures, kind words and cheerfulness!
