A favourite my mum used to make – I will try one soon, I just need another supermarket delivery, collection. This one from the guardian
CAKES
I am looking at the moment – thinking about a basic cake mixture with ground nuts and something fragrant. I guess a lemon icing will always cover up mistakes? And also thinking about the moisture of fruit in a cake. And then it might be time to start a xmas cake soon.
MULLED WINE AND CIDER
Xmas is coming. This recipe for mulled wine is interesting for the technique as much as the contents. You might need to take out a mortgage for a vanilla pod though! Further recipes are being added. Mulled cider fur us ere in Summerset!
SATURDAY
Chilly but dry day. Pasta dough in fridge, bread dough rising. Last of tomatoes picked (only a few small ones, but tasty). So Spag Bol for tea. And maybe tomorrow ‘Apple Charlotte”??
I READ THIS AND STARTED DRIBBLING!
I could forget the lamb and just eat these – which I will try out!
DATE AND APPLE SLICE and a gin.
TOMATOES
Definite end to the season. It’s been fantastic, so much fun in picking my own. I reckon I picked about 10 cherry toms per day for at least 3 months. Lots of water (waterbutts). and ok, I will admit to a little tomatorite. Cleaning greenhouse I was surprised to see just how full the pots were with roots! Basically no soil left! And I will start a tomato recipe book here.
PASTA RECIPES
Making pasta – 100g ‘OO’ flour and one egg, and a dash of olive oil. Mix and put in fridge for 30 mins. Then process. Then cook for 5/6 minutes. Jamie recipe
