harvesting saffron, a few strands of gold that go a long way

The Mediterraneans have a love of storing cheeses in olive oil, a handy way of keeping food fresh in a warm climate with an abundance of olives. I decided to make an English garden recipe with some Bath Soft Cheese that I had.

I had attempted to make cheddar once at home but it hadn't gone well. This time round I was determined it would work. I made sure I had the right equipment and that I knew the technique for cheddaring the curds. But what would I see in the mould?

Pickling Wet Garlic is one way of enjoying its short season all year round. Great as antipasto, just make sure that everyone else has some to!
