WHAT TO EAT NOW

Pine-nut soup

4oz (110g) pine nuts

1½ pints (850ml) organic chicken or vegetable stock (cubes will do)

¼ pint (150ml) organic Jersey double cream

Liquidize the pine nuts with a small amount of the stock to begin with, gradually adding the rest. Pour the cream into this mixture and heat, but do not boil. If you use stock cubes, salt and pepper will not be needed.
