Today's live session has finished. Allegra will be back in a fortnight when the topic will be tarts - quiches, fruit tarts, and all stops in between. Unless you want slow cooking part 2 - let us know!
Seasonality is not only about what we eat but how we eat it, and slow food - my favourite kind of winter cooking - is soon to be supplanted by a plethora of springy salads.
So, before we say adieu for another eight months, this is the last chance to get your heads around the simplest, cheapest and most rewarding way of providing for a family on a budget during cold weather.
If your experiments with casseroles, tagines, stews and the like have ever resulted in tough meat or watery veg in tasteless gravy, let me turn you back on to a style of cooking that warms your heart, body and soul. Post your questions below and I'll be online to answer them today at 3pm.
