Hi everyone and welcome to the blog. This week’s blog is dedicated to one man, who’s sudden death on 29th February rocked the world, Davy Jones. This week’s recipes are quick and simple, and come courtesy of BBC GoodFood Magazine March 2012 edition. They are Jerk Beefburger with Pineapple Relish & Chips, Italian-Style Chicken Burgers and Bombay Popcorn Mix.
David Thomas "Davy" Jones (30 December 1945 – 29 February 2012) was an English rock singer-songwriter and actor best known as a member of the Monkees, one of the world’s first manufactured pop bands created specifically for the tv series The Monkees.
