I absolutely love mushroom sauce, just don’t get to eat it so much because my girlfriend doesn’t like like mushrooms.

So, who doesn’t like a good, simple baked potato. And guess what? Sweet potato is just as good! Lovely for the summer as a sweeter flavour to offset something with a bit more of a zesty punch or something more spicy. It’s just a more creative flavour than your usual spud.

So, while wandering through the market a week ago I saw this Samphire (from France). I could faintly remember a TV show where I had seen someone forage on the coast of the UK for it and I was intrigued. So I had some packed up (unfortunately they only had plastic bags).
