A brisling brunch

Brisling sardines with rocket and simple dressing.


I find brisling sardines the best, the other canned sardines are too big and have developed too much bone.


Dijon mustard, lemon juice (and a little extra cider vinegar), salt, pepper and oil.

Beans the magical "fruit"

Now get your mind out of the gutter, I always make sure I have a can or 3 of cannellini or butter beans in the pantry, and a good stash of dried for when I actually plan ahead. They're a great staple and can be put to so many uses, all of them tasty (i hope).
