Weekly Love: the one where I do a lot of student cooking for the BBC

1. Making Chicken Egg Fried Rice for the BBC Food website – click here for the recipe! | 2. A simply divine slow cooked lamb shoulder shepherds pie from the set lunch menu at The Compasses Inn in Crundale. | 3. Long, early autumn country walks through the Kent Downs. | 4. Collecting apples for crumble from the ‘help yourself’ box by my parents local post box. | 5. Smoothies and breakfast tacos at The Skinny Kitchen in Canterbury. | 6. Another one of my new BBC Food recipes designed for students: Creamy Mushroom Pancakes. You can find all ten of my new student recipes for the BBC here.
