  • Pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been? I’ve been up to Windsor to talk about Coronation chicken for the Beeb. I’ll also be teaching a class on how to make Constance Spry’s original recipe at @gardenmuseum on 12 June. #coronationchicken #platinumjubilee #mrsbilton
  • I love the weekends where I have the time to cook a variety of dishes like these curries. The bowl at the bottom of the picture contains one of my all time favourites - murgi dahi from The Yoghurt Cookbook by Arto der Haroutunian (a gem of a book from @grubstreet_books ). The others are a golden kitcheree containing yellow split peas (which features in my next book on saffron) and an improvised mushroom bhaj. They we’re cooked a few weeks back. #weekendcooking #curry #homemade #saffron #mrsbilton
  • It’s a poached egg, asparagus & pancetta sort of day…. #english #asparagus #seasonalfood #poachedeggs #pancetta
  • So I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I’m heading to the Leeds Food Symposium this weekend in York and have said I’d bring something sweet for lunch. It’s needs to be portable (and durable) as I’m travelling by train. I’m thinking Rum Baba (1st pic) or Saffron Drizzle Seed cake - which would you choose? #leedsfoodsymposium #foodhistory #mrsbilton #saffron #foolsgoldbook #york
  • Anyone else a fan of cheese & pineapple? It was one of the best things at a kids birthday spread especially when served a la hedgehog! #cheese #pineapple #childhoodmemories
  • Well look what dropped onto my doormat yesterday. Looks like I’ll have plenty of reading material for my trip to York on Saturday. @dr_neil_buttery @penswordbooks #foodhistory
  • Have quiche, will travel. Breakfast on the move as I travel to the Leeds Symposium on Food in York. As this year’s theme is fish I made a smoked salmon quiche. #quiche #smokedsalmon #foodonthemove #traintravel
  • Artichoke How do you cook yours? #artichoke #gardeninspiration #spring #mrsbilton
