Lockdown Eating

During the lockdown the supply of food has been ok, but unpredictable. I used to shop for chosen recipes but now I buy ingredients and then decide what to make. I must admit I rather enjoy the challenge of this. I buy basic foods and then a few ‘wildcard items’ which are unusual.

New recipes I have discovered and experimented include:

Bread based (there’s always bread)

Welsh rarebit and croque monsieur 

Unusual meat cut based (from our local butcher)

Pork ribs in slow cooker

Beef shin with balsamic vinegar

Baking (popular lockdown activity, yeast free)

Sourdough pancakes

Banana pancakes

Chocolate and date loaf

Belgian fruit loaf

Frozen veg based (I only shop every two weeks)

Spinach in cheese sauce
