Shin of beef with ginger and soy sauce
This recipe was take form Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Every Day book which can also be found here. It really nice and not too fiery despite the addition of chillies. The long, slow cooking makes the beef meltingly soft and shin of beef is a very economically priced cut which means that this could make a great alternative to a traditional Sunday dinner. I served it here, as suggested by Hugh, with noodles and cavalo nero, but i have served it with rice before which is lovely for soaking up the flavourful sauce.It does take quite a while to cook, but once it's on then it can be left, there is little preparation, especially if you get your butcher to chop the meat for you. this means once it's in the oven (or on the stove on a low heat) you can be doing other things while the gorgeous aromas fill your kitchen. This has long been an addition to my repertoire and I think that if you try it, it will soon become and addition to yours!!

River Cottage Flapjacks
HI all,
Made these yesterday after my boyfriend saw them on River Cottage on Sunday night. I wasn't that keen on the look of them but decided that as I had nothing better to do, I may as well give it a go.
Well they were quite easy to make (I have the River Cottage Everyday Book), just a case of melting the wet ingredients, adding the dry ones then baking for half an hour. The smell whilst they were cooking was lovely so I couldn't wait to get them out and try them. When I took them out of the oven they were still quite soft, so I thought that I had done something wrong, but they do harden as they cool. (The instructions recommend that you don't try to cut them until they have cooled down completely). When they finally did cool down, I couldn't resist having a quick taste. They were really nice, quite sweet so could only manage one, but boyfriend has taken quite a few away on his trip. Will probably make these again at a later date.
9.5/10
p.s. unfortunately no photos as boyfriend has already gone with his. Take my word for it that they were extremely nice!!!!!!
