1. Throwback to the stunning wisteria at Fulham Palace last year. | 2. One of my old favourites over at BBC Food that is absolutely perfect for right now: Gnocchi with Crispy Bacon & Spinach Pesto. | 3. A first look at one of my favourite recipes and photographs from my upcoming second cookbook One Pan Pescatarian (ad) and a little explanation of why we’ve decided to delay the publication until July 9th. | 4. A new recipe over at BBC Food, my Korean Kimchee Pancake. | 5. And another golden oldie perfect for these times: Tinned Tuna Fishcakes. | 6. Glorying in the carpets of woodland bluebells every time I go for a walk.
