Chutneys.

I love these delicious condiments. Every year I make lots as a method of preservation as well as making some nice condiments. They go rather well with many different meals but most of them seem to make a cheese sandwich onto another level.

In this episode, I discuss 2 recipes which can be found at the following links

Rhubarb Chutney

Apple Chutney

I also mention that I use a maslin pan for making some chutneys. The image below in the link to Amazon to buy this pan from.

Tools that end up the back of the shed.

Admit it we have all done it. Bought some tools that sounded like a great idea, get used once and then end up at the back of the shed. A badly made product that falls apart first use is never any good for anyone. Items that end up being fiddly and don't get used again. Yes, we have all had them they exist.

In this podcast, I explore how I now try and avoid buying these items and my thought process that helps me eliminate the buying of useless products. I mention a website that can be used to check if reviews are genuine. this website can be found here.

It would be awesome if you can all share your stories of items that you have bought that have fallen into this category. I think it would be interesting to share these stories. Either leave in the comments below or Email me here.
