Farmer Ken and I had the great idea of organising a Pig Feast for Christmas in his barn. Now, if you have been to any of the pig feast we had organised in the past – you will know that his pork is outstanding. Ken is rearing his own free-range pigs and he knows how…

Our poly tunnel is bursting with chillies at the moment and I am trying to find ways of using them up before they go wonky. Yes, I could dry them but I still have lots of dried chillies that I got from friends in Sardinia. I made Harissa (amazing) and I made a wonderful chilli…
