Bean Chilli with Cinnamon and Bay (4)

A very good vegetarian chilli using tinned beans from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thomson. The basic recipe can also be used to make a couple of variations- chilli baked under a blanket or cornbread or roasted in peppers with cheese and sour cream. Claire is bringing out a new recipe book on one pot bean dishes which will be published in Febuary 2025. I cant wait and have already preordered the book.

Tuna Fishcakes (4)

A tasty, quick ands easy supper. If you can, use tinned Spanish tuna, but any tinned tuna in olive oil will work. The recipe is from ” Lobster and Chips ” by Trish Hilferty- one of my favourite books on fish cookery over many years. Make sure you have some tomato ketchup to offer alongside.
