Elowen Thorn I cook, photograph and re-test every recipe in an ordinary home kitchen before it goes up, so what you make matches what you see. Savory Discovery is where simple weeknight cooking, seasonal ideas and the odd bit of kitchen craft sit side by side — written plainly, and worth cooking twice.
