This week’s heart-warming, low cost, “pantry item” recipe was recently recommended to Gwilym by some of his very lovely delivery customers! I prefer soups with a bit of texture to them, but this one also works well blitzed if you prefer a smooth soup. Add a bit of lime juice at the end for a

This BBC Good Food recipe thinks it will go well with your Christmas dinner…Why not give it a try and decide for yourselves! I suspect the January King will be a suitable kale substitute if you wish to use up what’s in your veg box instead. If you wish to turn it into a main
