Honey teriyaki chicken wings
As I may have mentioned, a friend of mine (that’s you Ben) has requested more savoury type dishes. He’s a savoury type of guy. And I’m pretty sure I’ve made these for him before.

Vegan shortbread
Christmas is a mere 21 days away (cue panic)! I make shortbread and gift it around to colleagues, friends and family as a) it’s super simple, and b) everyone seems to like it! But alas, traditional shortbread is not vegan friendly, and I have vegan friends and colleagues. So, this is the recipe that I amended for them! Ingredients 2…
