Asparagus with fried capers: Rozanne Gold again
Today’s post is a bit like last night’s dinner: short, fast and done in the gaps between everything else. I sing in a choir on a Tuesday night so I either a) eat a sandwich on the train home between … Continue reading
Tomatoes with cream, basil and cheese
Did I say summer was back? Well it’s not, not unless you count pouring rain as summer. I went to a barbecue on Saturday night and yesterday morning I was thinking of another: you know, salad, some grilled lamb, a … Continue reading

Tesco’s Express may seem to be the sort of place where all salad is bagged, or of the iceberg variety, and all vegetables come from Kenya. But I was surprised to see that although it did have those uninspiring mixed … Continue reading
