At home with Jane Ross


Ooh, Katie Zelem’s doing the same. Maybe you could have a FaceTime chat in Italian in a few weeks’ time?
Ha, I might need a bit more practice before I’m ready for that, to be honest!
And how do things work in the kitchen at chez Ross?
My mum, my sister and myself will all chip in and do our bit with cooking, and we’re doing well. We’ll write out a shopping list at the start of the week, and try to get all the ingredients for the week in one go. We try to have variety of meals so we’re not eating the same few things in the evening. It’s been good so far; we’ve been mixing it up.
What’s your speciality dish?
I don’t really have one, to be honest, but chicken fajitas is my go-to meal.
What’s the supermarket situation like out on the island?
We have a local Co-op here. It’s a small community and a small island, but it’s not as remote as living out in the countryside, so there are shops around. We do try to limit our shop visits though. We have a local farmers who my parents used regardless, so we have milk delivered. The butchers also deliver meat, and the local shops deliver also. It’s great to support local businesses during these times.
