Food on the Table

We grow and cook to eat

Notebook conversations from the kitchen, the allotment and more

Written and illustrated by Maggie Hollinshead

Maggie and her husband Tony have had their allotment for almost thirty years, they both enjoy cooking and most meals they eat are created from scratch, that's not to say that there is no room for shortcuts, but there are always fresh ingredients. Bread is home baked and the table is laid for every meal. Homemaking and often sticking to a tight budget can be an interesting challenge. There are always flowers in the house from the garden and the plot. Grandchildren visit regularly and their presence is very much felt in the house. A home where music, creativity, food and nature are always present, the aim is to make happy memories by living a simple and joyful life.
