Almost Perfect
Hey, I'm Wendy, I'm here to gently guide emotional eaters to notice patterns, kick their habits and love their life again.
One Pot or Oven Baked
For those days when you just can't face the washing up
I love one pot cooking, in fact, I have the perfect piece of kitchen equipment - an Instant Pot. If you've never heard of them they're a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yoghurt maker all combined into one. I use mine every day, sometimes twice or three times.
Because of this, I've included 'ordinary' instructions and instructions for Instant Pot users in my recipes. I've also added a link at the bottom of the page in case you're interested in getting one for yourself. It's an Amazon affiliate link so I make a small amount on any purchase, but the cost is the same for you!
Zucca Speltotto
Pot
Zucca is Italian for squash or pumpkin and I eat LOADS of it. This recipe is kind of a risotto using Spelt , a really tasty, nutty grain, adapted from a River Cottage recipe.
