PORRIDGE WITH APPLES
A recipe we made up while bicycle touring but it would be good while camping or at home too. The apples help make the porridge more interesting when you don't have brown sugar to hand. We have tried adding bananas too but they are best just sliced on top of the porridge, not cooked along with the oats.

Steps:
- Put the water in a large saucepan and boil.
- When boiling, pour in the porridge and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- At this point you should really turn the heat down while stirring but if your stove does not simmer so well, then just lift the pot away from the heat for a few seconds periodically.
- After a minute, put in the apple slices and continue to stir for a further 30-45 seconds.
- The porridge should be thickening up by this point. If not, keep it on the heat a little longer.
- Take the pot off the heat, cover the porridge and set aside for a couple minutes.
- Serve, with any extras you might have to hand like a bit of brown sugar if you are lucky or some honey drizzled over.
- You could also replace up to half of the water with milk while you are cooking the porridge for a creamier version.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Truss the partridges, spread with one tablespoon butter each and season with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan with just enough water in it to cover the bottom and roast for 30 minutes. Remove to a serving dish and keep warm.
- Meanwhile peel, core and halve the apples. Place them on a buttered baking dish flat side down. Dot with one tablespoon of butter and cook for about 15 minutes, or until just soft. Keep warm.
- Saute the bread in the remaining butter, remove and drain on paper towels. Add the livers to the pan and saute until pink. Remove them to a small bowl and mash them to a paste with salt and pepper. Spread the paste on the bread and keep warm.
- Add the Calvados or whisky to the pan, ignite and shake until the flame goes out. Pour this over the partridges and surround them with the apple halves and watercress.
OATMEAL WITH APPLES
My twin girls can give me double trouble when I try to feed them breakfast. But whenever I make this recipe, they always have big helpings. They also like to help pick the apples from the trees in our own backyard.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut steel-cut oats or rolled oats. Quick-cooking oats will also work, but they will cook much faster.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can cook the apples in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened.
- If you like your porridge sweeter, add more maple syrup or honey to taste.
- For a more decadent porridge, top it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of cream.
- Porridge can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
