Quite proud of the fact I ran up this moussaka from fridge and freezer stocks. Had 3 aubergines and half a bottle of passata to use up, remembered I had a bag of lamb mince in the freezer. Roasted a red pepper that had seen better days along with my aubergine slices and chucked that in. Slosh of red wine. Near disaster when I discovered I didn’t have enough milk, supplemented with neighbours cast-off Oatly which they left when they were moving and a heaped tbsp Greek yogurt to correct the rather weird caramelised taste. Extra egg yolk cos it got too runny. About 40 minutes in a medium oven having cooked the lamb separately first. Left to rest 15 mins. Pretty good though I say it myself! Shows what you can do if you improvise - just refused to go to the shops for 1 or 2 ingredients in last night’s heat. Oh - and one more thing - cinnamon! I always add cinnamon to a moussaka - probably inauthentic but then the whole recipe was 😂. (It also included an onion and 3 cloves of garlic for those of you who are wondering. And Parmesan (I’d have preferred pecorino) in the bechamel) . . . #lamb #aubergine #eggplant #moussaka #greekish #culturalappropriation #storecupboardcooking #fridgeforage #freezerstashThere’s a real buzz about English (and Welsh) wine right now so I’m thrilled that our latest competition consists of a case of @winegb’s golden and silver medal winners including @ashlingparksparklingwine, @chapeldown’s Kit’s Coty Chardonnay, @sharpham_wine’s ‘Stop Ferment’ Bacchus, @hattingleywines King’s Cuvée, @harrowhope’s Blanc de Noirs Classic Cuvée, @lanebergwine’s Bacchus, @tuffonhallwine’s pinot rosé, @welshwines sparkling white wine, @windingwood’s Classic Cuvée, @wayfarervineyard’s Pilgrims Way Pinot Gris, @blackchalkwine’s Classic Cuvée and @gusbourne_wine’s pinot noir - a really fantastic line-up.

The scallops in Sauternes butter and the guineafowl and chips @littlefrench_bristol - both dishes you’d be hard pushed to find in France these days, sadly let alone as well cooked as this. All enjoyed safely outside at a suitable distance from my excellent lunchtime companions @xantheclay and @romygill. ❤️ you @freddybirdfood! . . . #scallops #sauternes #guineafowl #chips #frenchfood #bistro #littlefrench #bristol #lunch #eatlocal #shellfish #seafood #scallopswerecompdI’ve never been much of a one for doing jigsaws but laid in a couple during lockdown in case I went crazy with boredom (which strangely didn’t happen). Started this rather lovely @eeboopieceandlove Frida Kahlo one with my stepdaughter last week and finished it once she went home. Felt quite irrationally triumphant. Think I may be hooked! . . . #jigsaw #puzzle #fridakahlo #challenge #downtime #familytime Follow on Instagram
