Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks

Normally when I make a weeknight supper, I try and do something that I can pull together in 30 mins.  It means I can then walk home/go to the gym etc and we don’t end up eating too late.  This morning, however, I had some

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus has to be one of the easiest (yet most popular with guests) appetisers I have ever made.  It takes 5 mins to prep, has only 3 ingredients and just needs to bake in the oven for 15-20mins.  For canapés I estimate around
