In the Sunday Times, @markdiacono.bsky.social adds that something extra to take quotidian plates of eggs to higher planes. Mark has been a long time fan of our pans and we're always thrilled to see them in regular use – this is his frying pan filled withpotatoes, spinach, tomatoes, chilli & eggs.

We've been lucky enough to receive an early copy of this wonderful book, which we will be discussing with author @markdiacono.bsky.social at @ludlowfood in September.
A review will be coming, but in the meantime why not pre-order your own copy?
Come to Ludlow to hear us in conversation.

We may be contemplating salads, but there is still the temptation to turn on the oven to bake a cake. Stone fruits and berries abound and lift summer bakes to dizzying heights.

If you like my cartoons I can draw one for you for a very reasonable fee. They're not prints, I draw each one to order. Which is nice.

It’s unremittingly grey and cold and dank (in London at least). So here’s a thought to keep you going.

In about three or four weeks, the first sand martins will be arriving from Africa. Twelve centimetres long, they’ll have made a journey of up to about 9,000 kilometres. Ridiculous.
