My present to him was his favourite.. cinnamon rolls! After they're cooked I take them out and turn them upside down so the gooey cinnamon caramel is on top.
I finally got the knack of plaiting onions to hang them up to dry. They blush when drying out - which jogged my memory.. they're French shallots! The name "potato onions" had me baffled for a while there.In the end we had picked approx 6kilos of carrots and 3kilos of shallots. We still have a few more to pick from another patch in the garden.
Apparently it took them 18months to perfect the recipe, so I don't think I've got much hope of getting it right anytime soon.
