Spring is finally in the air after what seems an endless winter. What better time could there be to announce the new partnership between Recipes2Share and Marshalls Seeds. Marshalls, the award winning kitchen garden suppliers have just re-launched their website with many updated and improved online features and includes the launch of their cookery and recipe section.

 

If you have not visited their new site yet, just click here or on the Marshalls logo and you will find for yourself a bounty of inspiration, be it to grow ornamental shrubs and flowers or to cultivate herbs, fruits and vegetables. Whichever you prefer, Marshalls are able to offer high quality produce and an abundance of advice … but don’t forget to check out the recipes!



Sharpening her quill in these price conscious days, Margaux’s April quest was to find credit-crunching wines. Rise to this challenge she certainly has with delicious discoveries and recommendations in her latest musings, Claret’s On The Cheap.



A busy month it has been in the Recipes2Share kitchen, reviewing and cooking from Tessa Kiros’s Falling Cloudberries. What a delightful book, Tessa leading us on an eclectic culinary voyage and it is always my pleasure to share sample recipes with you. This month this includes South African Oxtail, Italian Veal with Sage, Lemon and Mascarpone and a mouthwatering Cypriot Baked Fish with Tomato and Parsley.

From early season barbeques, hot cross buns and delicious desserts the arrival of Spring is reflected in the many new dishes and recipes found in our Members Gallery and I leave you with a selection to browse.

About the author:

I am a freelance Home Economist currently based in Paris, qualifying at the Totley Thornbridge college of Home Economics in Sheffield, England plus teacher training at King Alfred’s College, Winchester.

Work has been varied and interesting. I fondly remember my time with Family Circle magazine during my initial studies which, under the watchful eye of Pam Dotter, the then Food Editor, and fun loving Mitzie Wilson (recent editor of Delicious magazine), became and still remains my source of inspiration for recipe development and food writing.

My first full-time job was as manager of the Patisserie Section in the grand London store, Fortnum & Mason, gaining invaluable food retail management experience as well as involvement with F&M's flamboyant catering activities.

After this I worked with multi-national General Foods followed by Kraft Foods (which, incidentally, are now the same company) until deciding to undertake teacher training. This perfectly complimented my industrial Home Economics background and provided a wealth of opportunity for work, where ever our expatriate years lead us, teaching children as young as 4 years of age through to adults of quite unquestionable age.

Since leaving the UK in 1993 I have lived in Scandinavia and Europe and currently live in Paris, France with my husband and 2 children where my time is divided between teaching, recipe development and testing, food writing and cookery demonstrations.
