Fruits of (her) labour

Preserved pears

Sun-dried tomatoes

Dried borlotti

Passata

Yum!

gracefully

This summer L's project has been to learn how to build and actually build a clay oven in the garden...

Not one to do something by halves, it even got inlayed with mother of pearl

Even I (who knows what she's capable of) am MASSIVELY impressed

It works, and everything!

5 minutes to bake bread

c.25 pizza's cooked in one afternoon

Andy:"sheesh, that's a lot of pizza" Cleo:"yeah, and no bugger gave me any"

yeah, my feet are THAT big

the birthday continues

Arthur REALLY liked the blueberry cake I made

Happy Birthday gorgeous x

Harvest Time

Currently scorchio in the Village, let's not forget what time of year it is - harvest time - L's been working hard all summer (and I've been eating hard). Here comes the chutney, passata and sun-dried tom's!

Food, glorious food

It's foodie central round here, L's been busy with new creations so it's time for some food porn in the Village:

Yellow courgettes, grown in our garden, shaved, pan fried then tossed in olive oil with cracked hazelnuts

L won't waste a thing, hence goats cheese stuffed roast courgette flowers

FRESH

Simplest ever, blackcurrant cake

Home filleted devilled mackerel

Project: Build a Clay Oven

And something to eat it off - Coveting AJB's crockery for too long, L came through with a great gift

RIP Fitzbillies

Fitzbillies, the Cambridge institution ceased trading last weekend: http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/World-famous-city-cake-shop-ceases-trading.htm

Best Chelsea Buns in the world, no doubt! Glad to have been able to taste their sticky goodness. Fitzbillies was establised in 1920, the recipe for their buns has remained a closely guarded secret for 90 years. Damned "Credit Munch" eh?
