Whipped up this delightfully tasty breakfast this morning. I blind baked the pastry and steamed the kale last night to save myself a bit of time and then put the rest together and baked it while I was getting ready for work this morning. You can quite easily leave the tomato off the top and you will get a beautiful bright green top. This is ( Read more... )

My husband and I had a few friends over for dinner last night and we decided to have a bit of a fancy dinner instead of the usual Indian feast or giant pot of "sex in a bowl" (what our friends have lovingly nicknamed my husband's version of corn chowder).

After harvesting only two days worth, we found we had a rather decent pile of these so decided that the only thing for it was roasting! The recipe ( Read more... )

After being introduced to gem squash (also called cannonballs in some places) in the basic way of, cut in half, boiled and then topped with butter and lots of fresh salt and pepper, I realised their potential and started having a look for recipes of other ways to cook them.

After looking through recipes one night trying to decide what to do with the 2 large zucchinis that really needed to be eaten, I came across a recipe for a zucchini frittata. Now unlike normal frittatas, I like mine to be more vegetables and such rather than egg and I like to have them tasty enough to be a satisfying meal. So here is my recipe for ( Read more... )
