And a huge #CookbookCorner shout-out for the gorgeous #Masarap by Richie Castillo and Alex O’Neill, a small book of Filipino food that I love in a big way! Already have the ingredients in for the Crispy Pata – whole, deep-fried ham hock – and can’t wait to cook more from this lovely little number from the always estimable @blastabooks

"At an Irish Halloween party, there will always be at least one person dressed as someone from a topical news story, two random lads from the pub who haven’t bothered their holes to dress up at all and at least one drink that’s the colour of blood." - @OisinTweets

You can freeze all your odds and ends of raw vegetables until you have enough to make vegetable stock - but don't use artichokes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, swedes and turnips as their strong flavours can be too overpowering. From WASTED by @Spaceychef
