Recipe Ideas


Nigella says: "I like to make up quite a massive batch of scones and freeze some (they thaw extremely quickly) to make a close to-quick cream tea at some future date. Day-outdated scones can be revived by warming in an oven preheated to 150C/325F/Fuel 2 for 5–10 minutes."

The difficulty with fresh Michigan cherries is, I by no means, ever make anything at all with them. No sooner does a bag of cherries enter my home, and I’ve eaten every single final a single.
