LittleMoose.co.uk

The cutest website I've found this week has got to be: Little Moose


From purses...



... to quirky jewellery...



... and gorgeous gifts...



... to quaint cards...




... this website is the perfect mix of Accessorize and David & Goliath. Reasonably priced for good quality products, I fear I could spend a month's salary in less than ten minutes. I adore the quirky style and will most certainly be purchasing birthday presents (and wish list-ing items) in the future.

The Salt Yard: Braised Hake


Cookbook: The Salt Yard, from The Salt Yard Group
Recipe: Braised Hake, with Mussels, Chorizo and Olive Oil Mash
(Omitted olive oil mash in favour of new potatoes and greens. Couldn't get decent hake so used pollock instead.)

This is a scrumptious dish, mixing meat and fish in a salty sauce. As a novice in the kitchen, I was a little daunted to cook mussels but my cheat is to buy the pre-cooked, vac-packed mussels that are easy to reheat and throw in the pan.
