For the last few weeks I have been heavily using the fantastic food website Taste.

If you are a fan of food magazines such as Super Food Ideas, Good Taste and Delicious, this is a quick and easy way to find recipes without having to sit down on the floor and wade through several years of back issues.

While I look forward to receiving my copy of Delicious in the post each month and often deliberately save reading it as a reward for getting work finished, Taste is a great companion.

Last weekend I made easy Beer Bread which is great to accompany a hearty soup and also banana choc chip muffins.

I have also tried a couple of chicken dishes including a simple chicken paella and an oven baked chicken risotto.

The bread is so easy and has just three ingredients – beer, SR flour and French onion soup – how easy is that!
