    I remember an interview with a restaurateur who said their vegetables had been widely praised. However, all they'd done, she said, was roast, not boil, them. She was right :)

    I had a baked potato with tuna mayonnaise. I've never eaten tuna mayonnaise before. It was - OK. Don't know if I'd make it again.

    Had some fish to use up along with some bits and pieces left over in the fridge, so decided on ... fish tacos. Salmon, avocado, lime dressing, pickled cabbage and chillis with some mayo.

    Chicken goujon wrap. Pepper, pickled onion, carrot, chillis, mayo, cheese. Pretty much a staple this last year, just change the protein.

    Where did you get the pork shoulder? I've been meaning to try pulled pork. Just haven't worked up the courage, I'm a really bad cook!

    Shop called 'The Meat Company".
    Spice it up and bang it in a slow cooker and walk away for 6-8 hours. Done.

    The very opposite. More efficient and cheaper than a regular oven to use.

    Unfortunately I do not.

    Most of my meals are merely a form of assembly of ingredients.

    OK. You can do it in the oven just need the temperature to keep under 100c for the duration.

    Here's Sparks' recipe from the Cooking Club

    I had salad, like most days. However, I really liked how today's salad looked, so here it is :

    It's red pepper, baby tomatoes, cucumber, olives, broccoli and grilled halloumi, with some balsamic and olive oil as dressing.
