Basic recipe is 1 litre whole milk, 5tbs dried non-fat milk, 1 tbs live yogurt, sweetener as required and flavourings.

So this is the start of a list I intend to make, varying between savoury and sweet.

Stuffed with an orange and a couple of bay leaves by the legs.

And from todays Guardian feast magazine, carrot and coriander fritters. I also like the alternatives.

First of shred an onion and squeeze (save liquid) and lightly cook in olive oil, then the same with a large baking potato. and then celeriac and crushed garlic. Mix with an egg and some grated cheese. They fry or bake?

How to make baked feta pasta

• Using a baking dish safe for the oven, add the tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
• Add the block of feta cheese to the center of the baking dish, and either flip it around a couple times to coat it with the olive oil and seasoning, or just add a touch more olive oil and a couple cracks of fresh black pepper.
• Bake it in the oven until the tomatoes burst and the feta looks melted (and your house smells heavenly!)
• As soon as it comes out of the oven, add some fresh minced garlic and fresh basil leaves.
• Mix it around immediately so that the garlic softens from the heat in the dish.
• Add cooked pasta on top and give everything a stir. The feta and tomatoes will essentially create a sauce for the pasta.

Well I am experimenting a bit.

First off I have a free range chicken fillet. I am thinking a slice of cheese and then wrap in bacon, drizzle with olive oil and then bake in pre-heated oven for 20 mins at 180C. We will see what happens!. OR instead, I am thinking crushed nuts or peanut butter? Or maybe breadcrumbs and parmesan in garlic butter sauce marinade for chicken for a couple of hours before baking? Maybe with rosemary and/or thyme and/or lemon mint or lemon verbena.

Then parsnips – not a great fan so roast in a honey sauce seems an interesting idea.

And then some slow carrots

I have got have a go at this bread. I need to get some quality olives first.

Just this

But I am making an avocado mayo to go with it.

This is an update on the recipe for the thins and PINK CAKE

1tbs chopped rosemary; 1/4tsp chillies flakes (or smoked paprika); 10 crushed Szechuan peppers; 100g flour; 100g cheese (I am using 50:50 cheddar and stilton); 1tsp baking powder; 1/2 tsp salt; 100g butter (but I am also going to try replacing with 75ml olive oil); 2 cloves of garlic. An alternative is to replace rosemary with other herbs such as parsley and basil.

Roll into 4cm sausage and put into the freezer for 30 minutes and then slice and cook in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes at 180C.
