My folks have been banging on about Gurnard for a while now and since I've accepted that they are very early adopters of popular trends - they recommended The Killing months before the world became obsessed with Danish TV shows - I thought it was time to try it.
Turns out you have to get to Nunhead's super impressive fishmonger F.C Soper early doors to get it
A heavy Friday night and a later than usual start to Saturday meant we missed the boat on the Gurnard so we went for sardines instead
There's always a bit of a battle in the house between Davy & Jamie. I tend to side with Oliver & today I won out so we are making his sardines, pine nuts and raisin pasta
The cottage is struggling a great deal with the current Arctic temperatures and the snow is set to hit tonight so we are enjoying the daffs while we can!
The fire is lit and we've thrown some thyme on it so the room is filled with a lovely earthy smell
Despite that and the heating at maximum it is still completely baltic as the Northern Irish would say. .
