		<title>Chicken and Pearl Barley Casserole</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A recent cupboard audit unearthed a number of long-forgotten ingredients, including pearl barley which we used in a risotto last year.  I don&#8217;t have very fond memories of it which probably explains why the rest of the bag has languished in our &#8220;pantry&#8221; (or, very small cupboard) ever since.
Not wanting to throw it away, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chana Dal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Having worked our way through many of Madhur Jaffrey&#8217;s recipes, the arrival of Camelia Panjabi&#8217;s &#8220;50 Great Curries of India&#8221; was well-timed.  We&#8217;re currently employing a one-in-one-out policy when it comes to cookery books and since I find it so difficult to part with any books at all, especially cookery books, we haven&#8217;t bought [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Octopus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s been a sense of unease in our little flat today.  We slept well, had a good breakfast and completed all our boring domestic tasks early.  The sun is shining and the day was ours to do with as we pleased so the little black cloud following us aroung puzzled me until my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beef and Oyster Pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week is British Pie Week and with not a lot planned for dinner this weekend, we were grateful for the suggestion.  This was actually supposed to be tomorrow&#8217;s lunch but we ended up swapping things around since tonight&#8217;s planned dish needed to spend some time in the freezer to tenderise, more on that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brilliant Pizza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We have been making pizza on and off for a few years now, with varying levels of success.  There were a couple of times when we did pretty well and thought we had definitely cracked it, but haven&#8217;t been able to keep it consistent.  With our old not very hot oven we had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beef baked with Yoghurt and Black Pepper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I might have mentioned that we have quite a lot of meat to get through this week.  A combination of having a freezer the size of a shoe-box and wanting to use as much of the meat while it&#8217;s at it&#8217;s best (i.e. unfrozen) meant that tonight we opted to use the oxtail &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roast Sirloin of Beef</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So, with two carrier bags of meat to get through, it was obvious that today was going to be all about the roast beef.  On the butchers block yesterday, the beef sirloin certainly looked impressive but it was only when I unwrapped it in the privacy of my own kitchen that I realised just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Butchery Masterclass at Allens of Mayfair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Allens of Mayfair is the oldest butcher&#8217;s shop in London having proudly occupied the same site for the last 120 years.  The history of the building is evident as soon as you approach the shop but once inside, it&#8217;s immediately obvious that this is no backwards-looking kind of establishment.
What&#8217;s most striking are the carcasses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celeriac and Potato Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
After the success of the Jerusalem artichoke soup, I thought I&#8217;d try my luck with some celeriac that was lurking at the bottom of the fridge.  I basically followed the previous recipe and just substituted the artichokes for celeriac and it worked well.  Not a complete triumph, there&#8217;s still something missing (possibly just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spaghetti Carbonara</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mmmm bacon.  I arrived home this evening to the delicious smell of bacon frying; Kerri was making spaghetti carbonara, which was most welcome.  It was similar to this recipe, but we took a slightly different path by adding some left over marscapone instead of cream.  The result was delicious and the photograph [...]]]></description>
