Pappa al Pomodoro Recipe

Pappa al Pomodoro

Papa al Pomodoro is, truly, one of the most delicious and simple soups you can make, originating in Tuscany and consisting of not much more than tomatoes and bread. In my case, it’s also great for creating the illusion of summer; the reality is very wintry wind and rain hammering my window as I type!

Broccoli & Cauliflower Pasta

This is another healthy recipe, perfect for those of you who fancy losing a few of those extra pounds you gained over the Christmas period. Both the broccoli and cauliflower are excellent detox ingredients, while the chilli is great for releasing endorphines – those natural feel good chemicals in your body. Garlic is a great ingredient too, with detoxifying and antibiotic properties. It’s also great for keeping away the vampires! :)

Fresh from reading “River Cottage: Preserves” I headed out inspired into my garden this week to harvest what little fruit I had left on my 3 blackcurrant bushes ready to turn into Jam.  I’m probably a little late in the season but lucky (or not) for me I had enough for one solitary jar – [...]

Greek Salad

Monday, July 28th, 2008

A Greek Salad is the ultimate in simplicity and tastes delicious. We enjoyed ours with tzatziki and crusty bread creating glorious memories of our honeymoon in Chania, Crete…

Asparagus with Eggs and Parmesan
