How to turn overripe banana skins into ‘bacon’ – recipe

OK, it’s not all that like bacon, but ‘bananacon’ or ‘facon’ is easy, flavourful and interesting to eat

As a cook and food lover, I thrive off new ingredients and techniques. Food movements such as zero-waste cooking, plant-based eating and even health fads, even if some are questionable, often push boundaries, creating new and innovative foods, some of which lead to the discovery of intriguing and welcome new flavour experiences.

As when cooking an entire bird there can be a difference in cooking times between the light and dark meat. Turkey crowns are readily available from supermarket and butchers in the weeks leading up to Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Credit: Getty The loved up pair, who tied the know back in 2010, didn’t have a totally smooth ride at the beginning of their romance and were an on-off couple for a while. Spilling the beans on the rockier patches of their relationship on their podcast (Staying) At Home With The Williamses, Ayda and Robbie explained that they broke up and got back together three times before their bond flourished.
