Paul Smith bags

When I first saw these bags I cried with pride! They are in Paul Smith shops all over the world. London, Paris, New York, California, Russia, Tokyo ( I hope they have survived) and, of course, Nottingham. You can see the whole range at Paul Smith Willoghby House, Nottingham. There are key rings and note books, wallets, purses, lap top holders, man bags, make up bags, mini skirts & satchells. Everything. We are so proud of our brilliant P.R. person. Thank you Paul

Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb.

This is the time of year when we have the most delicious Yorkshire rhubarb on the menu. We serve it with panacotta, on its own with home made vanilla ice cream and hot rhubarb soufflee. And we maken a rhubarb pickle with star annice and any spice you like.

The secret of cooking is not to put it with any water. Let the juices run out while cooking slowly with raspberry jam and sugar. It will maken its own sauce. I just love the colour.
