Sorting out a brunch with lots of finger foods – so thought I would make some pickle – this is my sort of recipe (few measurements) so I will see how it goes.

Ok, first off this one was a total success and consumed in minutes.

I made these before and were much appreciated. I don’t know what I did with the recipe so looked up online. Why are they all so different? The proportions vary greatly! Anyway, here goes! Gone in 3 minutes – I guess that is a success then!

Experiment time! I have just made bread dough , let it rise overnight, and have added grated cheese, chopped and sweated red onion, a chopped garlic, quite a lot of pepper, and a good handful of greek basil. I will let it rise for and hour, then cook on the pizza stone as a sort of flattish roll. I reckon 12-15 minutes at 189C on the hot pizza stone.

Well not exactly recipes!

Diced lamb marinating with white wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice and mint, to be served in a wrap or pitta bread with chopped tomatoes and red onion and lettuce or such like.

Hopefully I will have lots and lots of tomatoes – so I will dry some and marinate in olive oil, maybe some with chillies (I have 4 plants, so hopefully number crop here too. I have never been successful with red peppers, but I have a plant in the greenhouse, so hopefully that will be ok.

I quite like the look of this one from Yotam Ottolenghi – a cheesy potato and herb slab pie. Although there seems a lot of cream and creme fraiche in it. I think with 400g of cheese this might be too much?

Some ideas for wraps.
