Cooking afternoon

Weather awful.
Chopped up cauliflower, beans, courgette and chiles lalst night and soaked it all in brine.
This afternoon added the gherkins & onions and made the mustard sauce.
Whole house stinks of vinegar now!

Rounded off the afternoon's cooking with Heston Blumenthal's chile beef and rice.

Took a long time to make but really nice.
