Following that surprise Icelandic proposal, Chris and I are now in full wedding-planning mode. I promise these pages won't turn into a stream of wedding-related stuff (there are plenty of dedicated blogs out there for that), but I am planning to share occasional bits and bobs that I think might be of interest to anyone else planning a big occasion - after all, everyone loves looking at pretty . . .
Recipe | Cabbage wedges, romesco sauce & crispy pancetta
I've been addicted to romesco sauce ever since I spent time living in Barcelona as a student, so I was delighted when Kym from Bristol-based food blog On the Plate decided to feature it in the latest post of our ongoing recipe series.
