Hello Anke, thanks so much for getting in touch. I don't have any planned at the moment, but if you sign up to my newsletter - https://annajonesfood.substack... - I tend to share things on there first. I am heading to Ballymaloe food festival this year in Ireland and perhaps a couple more events which are yet to be confirmed.
Thanks for reaching out. This isn't one I tend to freeze, but if I were I would freeze the mix. I would probably defrost on the morning I wanted to cook it and then assemble and bake to serve. Let us know how you get on
Hello Alexandra. Thanks so much for your question. Indian and Asian markets are often good places to find them cheaply, though don’t be tricked into buying massive bags, as they will spoil in a few months and lose their flavour. I have listed some of my favourites here. I store them all in little glass jars so I can easily see what I have. I also like Diaspora co, and for herbs Daphne and Chloe is hard to beat.
Hello Shani, thanks so much for writing. So happy to hear you like that recipe - a favourite in our house too. It's in 'A Modern Cook's Year.' Hope that helps - AJ
This may not be the the most original opinion but I love Le Creuset a lot and have had mine for so long for big pans and the shallow sauté pans.
These are 2 British companies I love too….
Tuke and Co - they have just rebranded. The design is so good and the pans really work.
And Netherton Foundry who make more practical looking pans that chef friends use and love.
I have a couple of each 🍳
If none of these work I always recommend going to a restaurant supply store and buying good stainless steel ones from there they are usually cheaper and really good quality. Vogue is a favourite.
