Crab, tomato and chilli linguine with green beans

Now, occasionally on a late Sunday I wander round M&S browsing for teatime inspiration. This Sunday proved fruitful as I managed to find some very reasonably priced crab meat and vine ripened tomatoes. Thus, I decided to make crab linguine using another few ingredients I happened to have in. Fortunately, this turned out really nicely.

So I made up a biscuit recipe – “Easy maple syrup biscuits”

Ok, I’ll work on the name. Now occasionally when I bake I tweak recipes. Well I decided to keep similar proportions to my basic shortbread but to tweak it so it was more flavoursome. In addition I was pushed for time so instead of creaming butter and sugar I melted everything bar the flour together. Using maple syrup and brown sugar resulted in a richer … Continue reading So I made up a biscuit recipe – “Easy maple syrup biscuits”
