Weekly Roundup 29th October-4th November

Slow Cooker Chicken Tagine
Recipe from The Hairy Dieters Fast Food https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0297609319/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jItKCbF1YZM6G I absolutely love Moroccan food and have generally really enjoyed recipes from this and all of the Hairy Bikers cookbooks. I’m making this knowing it will be good for me but with high expectations for a really flavourful dish. Difficulty rating- 1/5- a case of chop things…
