Oh my heavens I love cheese. Bugger chocolate (nice though it can be), I’ll take cheese any day. So for a cold winter evening, I made this combination of cheeses with some pasta, pumpkin and sage thrown in to flesh it out. Tortellini with Pumpkin, sage and three cheese sauce adapted from yet another Super […]
One of my favourite things about soup is how the simplest combination of garnishes can dress it up so much both in flavour and appearance. I used a new combination this time and found the combination of textures and flavours to be perfectly complimentary. Pumpkin and Bacon Soup serves 6 – 8 1 kent pumpkin […]
