The Borlotti Bean
Wedding Brunch |
~ When it comes to Royal Weddings, I find it best to enjoy with family. As my sister, heavily pregnant at the time had an inexplicable urge to re-decorate, we headed to Caroline and Ben's. Ben is a fantastic cook and inspired by a picture he once saw he decided to create his own version and provide us with a great brunch munch. Not knowing how it would turn out, but rather fancying our chances that it would be good I followed my brother in law around faithfully recording progress with photos, while Caroline and Judy painted. It seems rather apt that this should be a photo-based recipe as my brother in law was initially inspired by a picture. Although this is called a Wedding Brunch, this can be enjoyed with family and friends on any weekend.
