Today we visit the rural village of Qrendi to meet with Peter and Michael. They are brothers who for years have continued to deliver their annual potato crop.
The effort of our daily bread

Apple & Strawberry Muffins
On Valentine’s we baked these muffins as a treat. Moist and wholesome, these muffins are perfect in the morning, yet indulging for afternoon tea.
Stock up on some artichokes
