  • Last night’s cocktails in a ‘speak easy’ underneath the @bonnatcrozet Chocolate shop in Vieux Lyon. I had the Francois 1er and Neil had the Gisele (much to the amusement of the barman). I’m going to miss this town. #cocktails #speakeasy #vieuxlyon
  • Great idea (@theregencycook I’m looking at you! We need to see you in print) Posted @withregram • @mark_diacono Ever fancied writing a book, but didn’t know how to go about it? Or perhaps you are nosy to see how someone goes about it? This may be for you I’m going share the writing of a book, live. From scribbling the first sentence that crystallises a fleeting thought into an idea, to getting it under a publisher’s nose, and hopefully onto the shelves. I’ll do this as it happens - creative cul-de-sacs, looking into the logistics, research, drafting a proposal, talking
  • I was pleased to see that the plums I picked before my trip to France were still good. I made a plum sauce to go with roasted meat (not pictured) and a plum & almond jalousie that you see here. Jalousie - it’s a lovely word isn’t it? #plum #jalousie #harvest #summerfruit #mrsbilton

  • You know me, I’m a sucker for a second hand bookshop. Probably just as well this one was closed for the holidays! I was also enchanted by the literary mural close to our hotel. #lyon #france #bookshop #travel
  • You all know how much I love gingerbread so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I had to include a recipe for this confection in Fool’s Gold.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ One of the earliest culinary recipes for gingerbread from 15th century contained saffron, cinnamon and pepper but no ginger whatsoever. I used these flavourings and the honey that features in this recipe to create these ‘fairings’.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #gingerbread ​​​​​​​​ #saffron​​​​​​​​ #foolsgoldbook​​​​​​​​ #foodhistory​​​​​​​​ #mrsbilton​​​​​​​​ #englishsaffron​​​​​​​​ #englishkitchen​​​​​​​​ @prospectbooks

  • Mussels with Leeks & Almond Milk​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I think I would have fared OK during the times when regular fasting was a ‘thing’. I love seafood and vegetables so wouldn’t have missed the meat or dairy (OK, maybe the dairy).​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It’s easy to see how a dash of saffron would visually perk up a dish during the dark days of Advent or Lent. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This recipe was originally published in Harvest by @marmaladeandkindness but can also be found in the book.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #saffron​​​​​​​​ #foolsgoldbook​​​​​​​​ #foodhistory​​​​​​​​ #mrsbilton​​​​​​​​ #englishsaffron​​​​​​​​ #englishkitchen​​​​​​​​ @prospectbooks
