Ingredients potatoes carrots swede onions leeks (optional) 2 oxo cubes (I use beef but you could use vegetarian…

Multi cooker
Hi- I have been gifted a beautiful ninja 15 in 1 max cooker. It’s all singing, all dancing and I’m hoping perfect for helping the big oven off.

Embracing rising food costs, rise of the omnivorous .
I know for many that the rising cost of food is causing serious problems & we certainly have noticed the rise in cost of many of the staples but it's had a positive effect on our diet diversity.

Best bed base for comfort?
Hi guys. Not sure where to post this. I have 'inherited' a very good and and firm mattress for a single bed and would now like to find a matching base in the sense of one which supports it really well. What type of base would be the one to go for?
