<div style="text-align: center;">
Somewhere in the dark without edges</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The indicator ticks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Radio Four murmuring all the while</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grandma's hands are clasped around my own </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As my head falls on her chest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And steam rises on the windows </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moonlight holds our sleeping bodies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cast tightly against the other</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before she dissolves </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And sixteen years have passed like a speeding car</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Expanding in the dead of night </div>

It's gooseberry season, so I had a think about what I could make with them while they are at their peak. Popping into the greengrocer's at Newington Green, I noticed they had green and red gooseberries (the latter sweet, the former tart), as well as some bergamot-fragranced honey. Looking at the box of eggs in my basket, a gooseberry and bergamot meringue pie was born in my mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is the recipe. The balance of tart green gooseberries with the sweetness of the red gooseberries - and the mallow softness of meringue - made this truly exceptional. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">1. Crumb cold butter and flour together until they resemble breadcrumbs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">2. Mix in sugar and then egg, until it combines into pastry - a little milk will help if it is too dry. This is easier to make in a processor, if you have one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">3. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180-degrees for 15 - 18 minutes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">4. Meanwhile, cook gooseberries over a medium-high heat until the start to break down. A tablespoon of cognac will help this along the way and prevent them from catching. Still in honey and heat through, before adding a paste of 1tsp cornflour to 1tbsp water and whisk in the egg yolks. When thickened, turn heat off and set aside. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">5. Whisk eggs whites until medium-stiff and then fold in sugar little by little until you have stiff, glossy peaks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">6. Remove pie base from oven, fill with custard, and then dollop your meringue on top, creating swirls.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">7. Bake in oven at 150-degrees for 35-40 minutes.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;">8. Gobble up with creme fraiche. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm obsessed with asparagus when it's in season. And soup all year round. So seeing as the asparagus crop is all but running out this year, I decided to merge the two into something to comfort myself with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't regret it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and look forward to a second bowl this afternoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the recipe:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Canterbury and Kent is my heartland. Not home, but the
closest feeling to it. I’ve never written a guide to Canterbury before because
the thought was too overwhelming – where to start? Where to eat? What to do?
There’s so much to tell you. If we don’t start, however, we’re even further
from finishing, so let’s call this the beginning and start with one thing at a
time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This place is an institute and has been going for well over
20-years, which is quite a claim for a city high street. It’s French through
and through. From the wicker chairs, to the pastries gleaming in the window and
the owner – Michel - who is aproned over his large belly at all times, and wearing
a mischievous moustache. I can’t visit the city without an early morning croque monsieur
(hands down the best I have ever had) and a chocolat chaud, all ordered in
French, of course – oui, oui. If you’re feeling shy, the rear garden is the
perfectly peaceful hiding spot.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many cafes in Canterbury but that doesn’t mean
they all do coffee well. If you’re particular, the only place for it is Garage
Coffee, who roast their beans locally and occupy a spacious but clandestine
spot away from the High Street, in what was formerly the medieval Anglo-Jewish
quarter of the city. The Abode Hotel just next door sits on the site of a medieval
synagogue. It’s a beautifully quiet spot to enjoy a mid-morning caffeine fix
before heading on for a city walk.</div>

<b>Medieval Walk – Across
the City</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The city itself is fairly small and the best way to see it
is to enter through the Westgate Towers (the last remaining ragstone gate of
seven that once encircled the city, erected in 1390) and leisurely meander its
streets in all its twists and turns. Places of particular interest, besides the
Cathedral and its surrounding cobbled lanes, are the Greyfriars Gardens – the site
of a Franciscan chapel which is the only building remaining from the original
friary. It's set among quiet, pretty gardens running alongside the River Stour - and
the Eastbridge Hospital (12<sup>th</sup> century) - a historical sheltering
house for pilgrims visiting the Archbishop of Canterbury.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of note along the way, admiration should be paid to the
Beaney Institute (1899) which is a public library, museum and gallery space;
the Queen Elizabeth’s Guest Chamber (15<sup>th</sup> Century) with its
impressive pargetting; and the curious leaning house of Palace Street with its
timber-frame.</div>

Pay attention, look up, look closely – the city of
Canterbury reveals layer upon layer of historical architecture, from dragon
beams and decorative brackets, to the jetties and carved bressumers of Sun
Street and Burgate, wrought-iron windows (check out the art deco windows above
Debenhams) and - a prime example - the amazing Edwardian building that now houses Prezzo.</div>

Once satiated, head to the Cathedral – the site of which has
existed since 1070 - to find out more about the
medieval and Middle Ages, especially for the story of Thomas Becket, the
Archbishop who was famously murdered on the premises.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all this walking and history, you’ll need to eat.
There are many chains in the city but you just need to come off the High Street
to find the independents, if that’s what you’re looking for. Liz and Adam, a
lovely couple, have been running a vegetarian café at one premises or another
for over a decade. They are now housed at Burgate under the arches and serve
deliciously comforting curries, salads, soups and much more. There’s long been
little in the way of vegetarian and vegan food in the city and, while this is
now changing, Liz and Adam have stood the test of time with their menu and
welcoming personalities. I always have the houmous and mango chutney sandwich
(sometimes I ask for a little cheese) and there’s plenty to be enjoyed here.
Liz is a fanatic of seasonal food, as well as foraging and fermenting, too.</div>

<b>Afternoon - River
Tour<o:p></o:p></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While this is a fairly touristy suggestion, I don’t care. I
love the river tours. Without it, you wouldn’t get to see the famous ducking
stool upon which wives who talked too much (aka ‘scolds’) would meet a watery
stifling or – so the story goes – where witches would meet with their deaths.
The stool is attached to the sides of the Old Weavers, a stunning timber-framed
building where once silk and other fabrics were spun and woven. The tour will
take you alongside the Dominican Priory (founded in 1237) and also under the
Kings Bridge, revealing the rear view of the Eastbridge Hospital and a more
rural view of the city. You will also be privy to the tired jokes of the
boatmen, who I often like to listen to from Solly’s Orchard while eating deep-fried
potatoes from Ossie’s fish bar. </div>

<b>Shopping - Madame
Oiseau, The Chaucer Bookshop</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are plenty of shops in the city but these two are my
favourite. Madame Oiseau, a little chocolate shop at the end of Palace Street
owned by Sandrine (it’s a few doors down from the smallest and loveliest
antiques shop that rarely opens) and the Chaucer Bookshop on the Castle Street
side of the city which, quite frankly, has the best card collection of any shop
I’ve ever come across, plus an incredible selection of secondhand books. Don’t
miss either if chocolate and books are your thing.</div>

<b>Early Evening - Wine</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a drink in the evening, there are dozens of pubs – The Thomas
Becket, The Dolphin, The Parrot – but I’m a wine girl and so thoroughly
recommend The Shakespeare (a quaint, candlelit wine bar in the Buttermarket),
The Chocolate Café for sitting outside with a blanket and gazing up at the
Cathedral, or a bottle off the shelf at the Goods Shed Farmers Market, where
you can watch the vendors pack down and drink your wine into the evening.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another Canterbury business that has stood the test of time,
Café Des Amis has been in operation for over 30-years. Housed in a 15<sup>th</sup>
century building just next to the Westgate Towers and overlooking the river,
they offer cheap and cheerful frozen cocktails (have the passionfruit) and
steaming plates of fajitas. Booking ahead is advisable, as is leaving enough
room to fit everything in.</div>

If the night is yet too young for you still, delicious
cocktails can be found at the Falstaff Hotel - a former 15<sup>th</sup> century
coaching inn at the entrance to the city, or Bramleys – a candlelit cavern to
the rear of the Oddfellows Hall on Orange Street.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While not within the city walls, this is a destination in
itself. Within this old railway building, you will find two restaurants and a
number of independent food stalls, including a cheesemaker, a butchers and a
fishmongers. After exploring the produce of Kent (and maybe stocking up on
cheese), head to the Wild Goose – a long table that hooks onto the corner of
the building and overlooks the railway line through large and intricate windows.
They offer seasonally-inspired brunches and the ideal spot for people-watching.
Have the poached eggs and salsa verde.</div>

While you’re here, it’s a wise idea to pick up one of the finest
sandwiches I believe I have ever tried. Jonny Sandwich is a small vendor with
big flavour – I recommend the rare roast beef with slow-roasted tomatoes on
granary. Pop it in your bag for lunch, or the journey home that evening.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s time to get a little more rural. Sandwich in satchel,
head out along the river through the Westgate and you’ll find your way turning
right into the orchards and tunnels of Harbledown. If you don’t turn right and
come back full circle, the path will lead you six miles onto the village
Chartham where you can reward yourself with a pint at the Artichoke pub.</div>

<b>Sunday Roast</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you can’t make it back to Canterbury, do head to the
White Horse in the medieval village of Chilham for a decent roast. If you do
make it back to the city, however, The Corner House is a great spot for a
proper posh Sunday roast. Many pubs in the centre will offer a standard number,
but this is something really special and to be savoured.</div>

I just can't get enough of rhubarb - poached with porridge, swirled into greek yoghurt, baked with buttery pastry... in a crumble with a splash of deliciously fruity gin? Yes, that too. This idea came to me as I was heating some beautifully candy pink rhubarb and cooking apples and I spotted a bottle of Brockman's gin on the counter. Why not use that to loosen the mixture in the pan? I ran through the botanicals in my head - coriander, juniper, wild berries and orange peel - yes, yes, yes, and yes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I did it. And here's the recipe:</div>

It's going to be another spring where the winter doesn't quite beat a hasty retreat but, rather, the cold will clutch at where it can. For this kind of unsteady seasonal shift, <b>there's soup.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use ingredients that are wholesome, nourishing and speak of green spring flavour as it emerges - wild garlic, leeks, broccoli - and marry them up with robust, perennial herbs and earthy vegetables that weather the winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This recipe came about after a hankering for french onion soup and deciding that sweet, early spring shallots would be better here - especially if they were cooked slowly and browned all over in butter. The damp weather made me think of mushrooms, and a fond memory of a new neighbour bringing me a bunch of marjoram on a cold, spring day in 2014 and how I delighted in the pine like smell that filled the kitchen. </div>

Slowly brown the shallots over a medium heat in the butter and splash of oil for as long as your patience wears - mine only last about 30-minutes but longer is better</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cover with stock and bring to the boil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn heat to medium/high and simmer for 15-20mins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When cooler, blend until smooth - chuck in the fresh marjoram along the way</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Serve with black pepper and a sprinkling of smoked salt</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">There
were a dozen moons that night. She counted them from the wheelbarrow as George
raced them around the perimeter of the barley fields, a stray blade tucked
between his teeth in concentration, his hands clutching both handles. Laughing
in delight, counting one, two, three, four, each moon greeted her with a
different expression: the peekaboo moon slotted between the trees, the heavy
gawping orb weighted on the horizon, the undulating glimmer, the milk moon face
of May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.7pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.7pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">A
siren sounded, catching in the turn of the wheels as George drew to a
halt, howling as if it were drawn from the mouth of the moon, ululating as the
wheels turned once more in the direction of safety. Again they raced, only this
time with an urgency that frightened Celia, the sharp jolts from the earth that
ran with them jarring her vision. Caught in momentum the only constant in
sight was the horizon, now divided between a menacing umbra and quaking light.
The moon arrested her in different expressions: bleeding in dissolution, screaming in its constant, fractured light, gathering form again in permanence, bearing
witness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.7pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.7pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Stillness came again that evening, swathed entirely
in darkness but for the swell of light at the curtains. The tide of her heartbeat
roared in her ears of endless mother blood: the moon of eternal knowing, of
inescapable observation. But a daughter in her bed - later a mother - my grandmother,
captured under the moon of countless faces. Passing a century of perspective, this
night and every night yet, I sit beneath the glow of our infinite womanly context.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oolong is considered the connoisseur's choice of tea owing to an incredible breadth of character and complexity across this tea type - from the creamy, floral notes of Iron Buddha - aka Tieguanyin - to the rich and roasted complexity of Big Red Robe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to experiment with the latter when it comes to pairing it with food or, even sometimes, as an ingredient. At JING I developed a short series of Christmas tea recipes and pairings. This one was inspired by my aunt and friend Ann who always has a box of brown sugar meringue in the cupboard. Something about the character of them inspired this combination. It was so good, my colleague polished off four in a row. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>For the meringue</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 120. Whisk egg whites until stiff and shiny. Slowly whisk in the sugar ounce by ounce, alternating caster to dark brown. Pipe or dollop into large rounds onto greaseproof paper. Bake in the oven for 2hrs, turn off the temperature and leave in the oven without opening the door for up to 5hrs / overnight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the poached pears</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Infuse the tea with the boiling water for ten minutes, set aside to steep. Peel the pears carefully. Over a medium/hot heat, add sugar and tea. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the pears and cover with paper. Simmer for 20 minutes, turning the pears halfway through. Remove pears and bring liquid back to the boil. Reduce to a thicker syrup. Dollop crème fraiche onto your meringues, top with the pears and spoon syrup over the top.</div>

Weeping in the mirror</div>

She gifted his solitude</div>

At the air </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a sudden terrible screech</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I dreamt that a swan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swiftly took his throat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And his life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Breaking his bleats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And his neck in two</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He cried out no more</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wept and clapped in anguished delight</div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heat oven: To 180°C.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make topping: In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, trim your rhubarb to lengths that will fit across the bottom in one direction, i.e. some short and some taller. Remove rhubarb and cut each stalk lengthwise into thin (about 1/4-inch thick) ribbons. If your rhubarb is already quite thin, you might just want to halve each piece lengthwise.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sprinkle sugar into skillet and add lemon zest; use your fingers to mix the zest into the sugar; the grit of the sugar will help release the most flavor from it. Add butter and salt and heat skillet over medium until butter has melted, stirring frequently. Add rhubarb and cook, turning gently, for 3 to 4 minutes, until it has softened slightly and released some of its liquid. Remove from heat and set skillet aside.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make cake: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined, then vanilla. Sprinkle mixture with baking powder, salt, and all the spices and beat well to thoroughly mix them in. Add buttermilk; mixture will have a curdly texture but don’t worry, it’s all going to even out. Scrape down bowl and add flour; beat only until it disappears.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check your rhubarb base to make sure all the pieces are in the order you’d like them to be; nudge around any that are not, then dollop cake batter over rhubarb mixture in small spoonfuls and smooth top as best as you can. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake cake: For about 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted deep into the cake (but not the topping underneath) comes out batter-free. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen. Place a larger plate upside down over the skillet and use two covered hands to flip cake out onto it. If any rhubarb is stuck in the pan or slides down the side, just return it to the top of the cake cake.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Serve: Warm or at room temperature. Makes a really rather beautiful breakfast.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
While it's still really quite cold out there, we're slowly but surely inching into the spring, as evident by the arrival of seasonal blood oranges, and the candy pink of forced rhubarb: we're well into winter and almost beyond.<br />
<br />
In the spirit of warming the cold that's surely here, the thaw to come, and a cupboard full of nuts, a rhubarb cardamom crisp was born.<br />
<br />

<br />
100g mixed nuts and seeds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100g plain flour, plus 3 tbsp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 tsp ground cardamom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
80g lightly salted butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50g dark brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4-5 sticks of forced rhubarb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zest ½ orange</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
175g caster sugar<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 24.9333px;"><b><br /></b></span>
Heat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Spread the nuts and seeds over a baking tray and roast for 4 minutes until they have darkened slightly and smell nutty. Leave to cool, then coarsely chop by hand.<br />
<br />
For the topping, sift 100g of the flour and the cinnamon into a bowl, then rub in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the dark brown sugar and chopped nuts.<br />
<br />
Cut the rhubarb into 2.5cm pieces and put into a mixing bowl. Cut the pared orange zest across into small, thin pieces that resemble pine needles, then add them to the rhubarb with the grated ginger, caster sugar and the remaining flour. Mix together well and set aside for 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the fruit is covered in a moist, sugary-floury mixture.<br />
<br />
Spread the fruit in a shallow 2 litre ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the topping. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the rhubarb is tender and the top is golden brown.<br />

Aka 'Shorbat Adas'<br />
<br />
Ok, so I'm really going to town with the name of this given that it was inspired by a Middle Eastern recipe, and I just chucked some Spanish fideua in for bulk.<br />
<br />
I really can't deny that it's a blooming marvellous and quick vegan eat though, so I thought I had best share the recipe and let you get on with it.<br />
<br />
For all those attempting Veganuary, may these lentils be with you.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
When afternoons were often spent tucked under the blanket with grandma,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we would delight in our own ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She, with aspirin, Cornish wafers, and the television set; I, fixated on the light sinking into dusk across the floral curtains - static and voices thrumming on the hem of my world there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the safety of our mutual comfort,I’d watch the blooming roses as they swelled with the shadows, hovering in half form between a print held captive in the sum of threads and the shapes projected from the fading day looming behind them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would witness there this soft shift, a metamorphic menace lingering in the unknown. Depths and swathes of gloom casting me into a dimension without boundaries, ceaseless in its space, eclipsing even the edges of grandmas warm body beside me. The cold darkness coming not only for the curtains, but for us too.</div>

My mother, sister and I travelled slowly to the Isle of Skye from Glasgow as the autumn of 2016 drew to a close. It was the first time I had been to Scotland and I was glued to my window as we wound along the roads - staggering in their majestic beauty - stopping from time to time to pause and breathe, and to restore ourselves with a meal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More often than not, it was a bowl of Cullen Skink that we opted for - a popular Scottish soup of smoked haddock poached in milk and served with soft potatoes. Simple but so delicious, it's really very hard not to lick the bowl or plead for more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a little obsessed with fresh herbs and salty things, so my version comes with dill and chicken stock, as well as a squeeze of lemon just before eating. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add onion and fry gently until transparent. Cook for about 5 minutes but do not allow to brown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add potatoes and water and bring to boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile in another pan, cover the haddock with the milk and cook gently for about five minutes until just tender. Remove from the milk and, when cool enough to touch, flake gently into large pieces, removing bones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add milk, stock, and flaked fish to saucepan containing potatoes and other ingredients and cook for a further 5 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Season with salt and pepper, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

were a dozen moons that night. She counted them from the wheelbarrow as George
raced them around the perimeter of the barley fields, a stray blade tucked
between his teeth in concentration, his hands clutching both handles. Laughing
in delight, counting one, two, three, four, each moon greeted her with a
different expression: the peekaboo moon slotted between the trees; the heavy
gawping orb weighted on the horizon; the undulating glimmer; the milk moon face
of May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

siren sounded, catching in the faltering turn of the wheels as George came to a
momentary halt, howling as if it were drawn from the mouth of the moon and only
rising in insistence as the wheels turned once more in the direction of safety.
Again they raced, only this time with an urgency that frightened Celia deeply,
feeling the sharp jolts from the earth that ran with them, jarring her vision. Caught
in momentum, the only constant in sight was the horizon, now divided between a menacing
umbra and quaking light. The moon arrested her in different expressions: bleeding
in dissolution; screaming in its constant, fractured light; gathering form
again in permanence;</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18.7pt;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18.7pt;">bearing its eternal witness.</span></div>
