I just made the chicory! I've never made anything like it before, it was wonderful, both in the cooking and the eating.

The way you described your dining experience at the bar had me feeling I'd join you there. I'm going to come back to the post to re-read the recipe.

This time of year, I get what my grandfather called 'the flits'. It's a desire to be Out out, and to be seen, and feel like I am really alive and in the world. Possibly similar to what drives other animals in the spring! Sometimes it feels like a bubbly inner restlessness- but a pleasant, not anxious experience. London in the spring is a fantastic place.

I'm also sorry to hear about your family news Rebecca. Sending love and fortitude.

I recently learnt that starch inhibits crispness in roast potatoes and if you wash three times it helps - it really does ! Try it next time -
