UNLAWFUL KILLINGS
If you are looking for a new page turner, then this extraordinary book is one to consider…
JUICY FIG CANAPES
Love a nibble before the main course but wanted something other than crisps, peanuts or pretzels. Spotted some ripe figs in the supermarket and decided to use those paired with goat’s cheese (or it is “goat cheese”, I never know!). More tried and tasted recipes can be found here
SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
Was tidying out my kitchen cupboards yesterday and found my slow cooker gathering dust. Whipped it out, gave it a wipe and made this sausage casserole because it was grey and cold outside and I had a busy day ahead. Proved to be as comforting to eat as it looks. Inexpensive and filling – why not give it a try? More tried and tasted recipes can be found here
CHEAT’S LOBSTER SPAGHETTI
A super quick lunch or supper that may not take much time but is packed full of the taste of the ocean.
DO YOU HAVE A BUCKET LIST?
The Great British Bucket List: Utterly Unmissable Britain may be useful if you do. There are 60 mini adventures (from comically easy to mildly challenging) so whatever your age and abilities, you can do them. Which means we can all start ticking off the lists right here in the UK while we are saving up to book our flights to the Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu and the Grand Canyon!

ONCE A KING
Once a King: The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII is a remarkable archival discovery. The real story of Edward VIII – the King who abdicated the throne in 1936 – told in his own words, using an unpublished memoir and other never seen sources. that sheds new light on the man who gave up his throne to marry the woman he loved.

SWEET POTATO & LENTIL CURRY
This Sweet Potato and Lentil curry has a colourful vibrancy that I find very moreish to look at – and, of course, to eat! Low calorie too – about 314 per portion.
