So next week is a little of a food-scoffing showdown with Shrove Tuesday (bring on the pancakes) and Valentines Day (chocolate and champagne, don’t mind if I do). I think I’ll be rolling my way to the weekend! As things are going to be hectic with stripping out the shop (oh the romance of it …

These beef kebabs are quick to prepare and go with pretty much anything. We had them as a Sunday supper with sweet potato and potato wedges. Instead of the beef, chicken or lamb would go well, or leave out the meat for a veggie alternative. The weekend was again full of promises to be creative …
