If you’ve been round to my house and I’ve made Artichoke and Spinach Dip for you then I must love you because I only share it with people I think are wonderful. Otherwise, I make it just for me and Paul and we eat it in bed with a giant bag of Cool Doritos whilst watching Marvel movies…. yep, we’re that classy. This is a warm, chunky and creamy dip that becomes addictive so apologies in advance.
