Ingredient of the Week: Frozen Prawns
Prawns are relatively expensive compared to some of the other ingredients of the week that we’ve featured. They’ll certainly cost you more per kilo than frozen spinach or a few slices of old bread. But if you get good ones, they add so much in terms of flavour and texture that even a small amount…

Great deal on prawns at M&S
I love prawns but I usually only get to eat the frozen kind because fresh prawns are often pricey. Frozen prawns are great in curries but if you want the full flavour, fresh is better. I was delighted to fall upon a great offer at M&S where you can get a whopping 20 large prawns…

Recipe: Jambalaya!
I’ve always wanted to go to New Orleans, and, someday, I will! It looks like such a vibrant, fun town but a big part of the appeal for me is the cuisine. I lived in Florida for a short time as a child and our neighbours were from Louisiana. I remember spending long, hot Saturdays…
