  • Scenes from our invigorating walk this morning. . #frostymorning #walk #cuckfield #sussex #nature
  • I think a suet pudding is a thing of beauty (although the artificial lighting isn’t doing this one any favours). With the cold spell we’re experiencing they’re just the ticket for a cold winter’s day. . #suetpudding #steakandkidney #winterfood #comfortfood
  • Seville oranges aren’t only for marmalade. They’re great in a chocolate orange tart too! . #sevilleoranges #chocolate #chocolatetart #homebaking #mrsbilton #eattheseasons
  • I was going through one of my old recipe files earlier today and came across my Nan’s Domestic Science notebooks (c. 1929/30). Love the list of rules on the next image. I wonder if she applied them when she went into service when she left school? . #familyhistory #oldrecipes #heritage #lostandfound #mrsbilton #hiddenhistories
  • Barberries were used in medieval and Tudor recipes. . Gardening folk (@barbarasegall @gluts_gluttony @gardentastic @chelsea_physic_garden @urvashiroe ) - do you know if ALL barberries are edible? . I believe this variety is Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea. There aren’t many berries this year but at some point in the future I’d like to have a go at drying them (assuming they are edible). What would be the best way to do this? . #barberries #gardening #homegrown #preserving #mrsbilton #foodhistory
  • The recipe for my Seville Orange & Chocolate Tart is online now http://www.sambilton.com/seville-orange-chocolate-tart/ . #sevilleoranges #chocolate #tartsofinstagram #mrsbilton #eattheseasons
  • Molten cheese, sourdough and red wine. Hello Friday night...
  • In the absence of any natural sunshine today I have tried to inject some sunniness into our day by making a Vietnamese inspired sandwich. Replaced some of the ingredients out of preference/necessity (chicken for pork shoulder/radish for daikon/mortadella for cha lua) but the end result was pretty good nevertheless. . What foods do you turn to to cheer yourself up? . Scroll through to the next image for the original recipe for Bahn Mi Thit from Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table by Mai Pham. . #vietnamesefood #bahnmi #wheresthesun
