happy birthday, to us
eat the right stuff is six years old today. how time flies...
there are now over 550 recipes on the blog, using a wide range of ingredients and representing a variety of cultures, cuisines and techniques. despite their differences they are consistently recipes that i have cooked, usually as part of our day-to-day menus, and which i wanted to remember and share.
i’ve done a few cooking challenges recently, working my way through top 10s from both nigel slater and moro, partly to step out of my comfort zone but also to help dig me out of the occasional foodie rut which i think we all settle into every now and then. so, if you’re looking for some inspiration, here are some of my favourites from eat the right stuff.
some are my own recipes, others are ones i’ve found in books, magazines or online. my favourites change all the time but these are all recipes which caught my eye this morning when i was looking for dishes to share which i love and make regularly. let me know if you have any other favourites!
i hope you keep reading, and commenting, as this blog is partly about me and my cooking but also very much about you.
