    Thai Fried Chicken Wings

    Very good, arguably better the day after cold or heated. I would be a little more careful with the oil temperature to reduce the colour a little.

    Potato supper

    Very warming, very easy. Comfort food and delicious. As ever would strongly benefit from really good, home made stock. From Nigel Slater
