This page contains all the bits and pieces we use to make up our recipes (what Skye Gyngell calls her toolbox) and also a range of side dishes that go well with all sorts of other dishes. Over the last few years, we've  increasingly been trying to make as many ingredients from scratch as we can. This is partly out of culinary curiosity, partly a desire to be more sure of exactly what ingredients are going into our dishes, and partly a desire to be more ecologically minded in our kitchen.
