As most of you probably know, James, my best friend of twenty two years, now turned champion sidecar racer, was involved in a serious crash at the Isle of Man TT during a practice lap on Saturday, May 27th.

Having the culinary bug put back into my head by Eleanor this week, I found myself back in the kitchen at the business end of an oven for the first time in years. Trying to ease myself gently back under the chef’s hat I figured that maybe I should start simple.
