Marvelous Muffins

Finally I've finished my Nuffield report and following the great interest in my Apple cake I am going to try and get some recipes down that we cook at home. Mostly using our own produce (because after all we need the sales and money!) I cook in a fairly random way, guessing quantities and timings, mostly successful but always with passion and a love of great ingredients. Cooking is not a hobby, it is what I do to feed and nurture my 5 hungry children as well as fuel the hungry farmer. I am hoping that I get some feedback and ideas what to cook next, it will be fun!

Starting simply here is another way to use up windfalls!
