  • 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
  • After a chilly walk this morning it feels like a crumble sort of day. Naturally it HAD to be rhubarb & gingerbread . #rhubarb #gingerbread #crumble #comfortfood #mrsbilton #firstcatchyourgingerbread
  • Well it started life as a Spiced Parsnip Soup but has morphed into something slightly different (on account of having some spinach, coriander and spring onions in the fridge that were begging to be put to good use). . Does anyone else have the uncontrollable urge to throw just about anything into a pot in the name of soup? . #soup #winterwarmer #homemade #wastenotwantnot #mrsbilton #lunch
