It’s hard to beat Edinburgh on that rare thing in the city - a warm, sunny afternoon (though mercifully cooler than further south) . . . #edinburgh #themeadows #sunnyafternoonGot a sneak preview of @sabrinaghayour’s latest book Persiana Easy and made the creamy prawn orzo - a really simple storecupboard recipe for two. (The dill I added just cos I had some knocking around in the fridge was unnecessary. It really doesn’t need any adornment) #sabrinaknowsbest What would I drink? A Pinot Grigio you might be surprised to hear. It gets a bad rap but it’s really good with a slightly spicy seafood pasta dish like this. For more wine pairing tips follow my new account @fibeckett_winematcher #pasta #orzo #prawn #shrimp #easyrecipe #sabrinaghayour #persianaeasyUtterly dreamy garden at Boughton Monchelsea Place down to the couple of comfy chairs in the greenhouse. At this time of year when the weather is good why would you want to be anywhere else than an English garden? . . . #garden #gardening #flowergarden #kent #greenhouseUtterly glorious afternoon tea at Boughton Monchelsea place - an open afternoon for the @kentgardenstrust. The banana cake was particularly fine - not soggy like most banana bread but properly banana-y. Will have to chase them for a recipe unless one of you has one? The garden - next post - was absolutely fabulous too. . . . #afternoontea #cake #bananacake #boughtonmonchelsea . . . Follow on Instagram
