My veg box this week had lovely radishes which made me remember my friend Sarah telling me how lovely they are thinly sliced on toast with butter. I admit when I heard this, it seems like a sketchy plan, but turns out it is simple and absolutely delicious. Really. I also had a handful of…

dippy beans
My second adventure with broad beans was a marvellous success! I’ve been a big fan of smashed avocado ever since my veg box provided me with lovely avocados and lemons.
