New on the blog, it's my first experience of Afghan cooking at Yadgar on #Cardiff's City Road gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2026/01/yadg...

Back open today from 12. So come say hi. A week without being open for a small one man business is hard to handle so I hope you are all very thirsty. We won't be open tomorrow as I need to rest up some more which means run club is back on 24th January.

Meanwhile Cymru has been robbed of billions in Barnett funding by Westminster classifying English projects as “England and Wales”. And this is why Labour barely scrapes 10% in the polls in a nation which it has dominated - and taken for granted - for a century. We’ve had enough of this shit.

Have you heard of Bedfordshire Clangers? They are a complete lunch pastry with savoury at one end & sweet at the other. These are a combination of veggie haggis (you could use falafel) at one end & apple pie at the other. www.tinnedtomatoes.com/2017/10/vegg... #vegan #veganuary #plantbased

Kitchen-foraged old fave last night. Ching-he Huang's Five spice seitan, sweetheart cabbage, sweetcorn & chilli, tweaked as per: tempeh subbed for seitan & noodles added. Went down nicely, alongside apple-citrus Sixteen Ridges Vineyard fizz, made with Ledbury-grown Pinot Noir & Seyval Blanc.

Time to make Parsnips Molly Parkin again. First met this rich, warming dish in a South Devon proper pub some years back. Just the job for a winter's lunch sitting in a low-beamed bar in front of an open fire. Works pretty well in our place too. www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/pars...

A 2013 vintage glass or two went down nicely last night. Felt fitting to mark our farewell to Christmas, its decorations & down time. Mature, yet fresh and crisp., the cuvée is named after Sir Harry Kroto, one of the team who discovered the C60 molecule.

The tree's up... The Christmas menu's planned... Some of the presents are bought, and some of them are even wrapped... But there's one problem - what to get for the food lover in your life. A pair of slippers won't cut it. Don't despair, 1861 is here! 1/2 #Wales #Foodsky
