Posted on September 7, 2011 by Louise

Canteen’s Welsh rarebit

Posted on September 2, 2011 by Louise

The flip-flops had their revenge. Having called them ignominious yesterday my only pair, a sort of open-air trainer with a good solid sole that is ideal for negotiating London’s pavements and platforms, gave up on me tonight. There I was … Continue reading →

Piperade…or what to cook when the shops are shut

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Louise

Salbitxada…or tomato and almond pesto by another name

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Louise

Friday tapas: homegrown courgette gratin, tortilla and salbitxada

Cauliflower (or broccoli) with bagna cauda and chilli

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Louise
