Butternut Squash, Orzo Risotto , with crispy sage leaves, cheese & truffle oil



When Toby was a baby I had milk delivered

twice a week. We moved and I never got around to organising it again. So you can imagine how pleased I was to find out that @freshmilkandmore deliver in my area.

Living in the countryside and working from home, it’s so useful to know that I can order fresh items and store cupboard staples with no minimum order and they’ll be with me the following morning. Better still, as all of the milk and juice is delivered in glass bottles, I can do my bit to use less plastic

and serve my family organically grown produce. This week I ordered an organic veg box, some amazing cheddar and made the most delicious orzo risotto. Let me know if you try it? #Ad
