We’ve been trying to eat less meat lately. It’s not that we don’t love a good steak or a chicken schnitzel, or that my all time weakness isn’t Korean Fried Chicken, it’s just that we’ve come to the realisation that we don’t need to eat quite as much meat as we were buying. Weeknight meals…
Everyone should have a good dahl recipe in their repertoire. Healthy and intolerance-friendly (vegan, gluten and dairy-free), it’s one of those dishes that is as great at a dinner party as it is at a packed lunch.
