Set up

A few years ago, I was invited to a YEASTER party, and had such a good time that I knew one day I would steal this idea for a celebration of my own! I was sort of boycotting all Easter gatherings this year due to a stressful time in my work life, so the timing was […]

Pumpkin Ale Loaf

Gastropost asked us a tough question this week: Beer vs Wine? This is a tough call, because cooking with wine means Boeuf Bourguignon, one of my favourite cold-weather dishes.
