There’s not much you can’t skewer and grill or griddle. The result should be delicious and unless you’ve included some fatty objects it will be good for you, too. Shish Kebab is Turkish in origin and indicates a skewer on to which pieces of meat and vegetables are put and grilled over hot coals. It […]

 My last 12 months’ have hardly reached the epicurean heights, but what I can say is that I have had some jolly good home cooked nosh, firstly because I love cooking and secondly because the ingredients have never been better.
