The Mock Turtle

You went for the wraps too It all loos so summery and fresh.

I love tzatziki!

Here’s another of my syphilitic pictures. I had a hankering today for some American-style scones, so I made these Smitten Kitchen Dreamy Creamy scones (cream is one of the ingredients). I used frozen blueberries chopped up instead of currants, and they’re really delicious. Not too sweet, and very light.

That looks appetising to me*. I love scones made with cream.

* here is where I say I’m terribly drunk

I think the scone looks and sounds amazing, and I’m not drunk (but I admire disco’s early dedication to the cause )

I would certainly not turn it down if you offered me one with a cup of tea.

I bought the NT Scone book last week.

American scones are the best! Blueberry ones are so Maine.

Those actually look lovely put I keep putting myself off posting on this thread because my cooking looks so hideous.

Have a photo of my recent sticky toffee pudding as proof.

I bet that was lovely though .

emma, I haven’t forgotten your lovely recipes, but I couldn’t get all the ingredients for them. I’ll try again this week.

I’m really enjoying making the sorts of foods I like to eat on holiday.

I think your scone looks lovely Ella, I’m not a cake fan but I do love a scone.

As I’m channelling pip and cooking food we’ve loved on holidays tonight is lamb kleftiko, here it just before I put it in the oven. I trimmed most of the fat off as I hate fatty lamb but it smells all garlic, lemony goodness. All I need now is to be sat by the sea!

That looks delicious B’Jude.

Oh I LOVE kleftiko. And you can tell Ruby’s would taste good, despite how it looks

Have you got a recipe for that, BJ?

That kleftiko looks amazing and I'd have a go on that sticky toffee pudding along with a scone!

It was based on rick steins recipe here; https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/lamb-kleftiko

And also one I found online which was basically that with added rosemary as well (I could only get dried oregano, used loads, and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary just chucked in) it’s been in 3 hours so I’ve just turned the oven right down, it smells lovely, I’ve added a slug of red wine vinegar though as I think it needed a lift.

Oh! And then other recipe had white wine in so I put a good slug of that in to start off with with some olive oil, then just added a bit of water when it started to look in danger of drying out.

Brilliant, thank you!

That is totally going on the list.

That looks lovely, BJ. I might give that a bash next week.

Burrata then pizza. Simplicity. If the pictures were the right way round.

I still can’t get flipping pizza right. I might have to give up.

I’d totally eat that!

What kind of pizza was it? A white one with sage? Potatoes?

It’s just a margherita. The dough kept springing back.

The keftiko looks so good!

What's wrong with your pizzas, Pip?

We had this roasted cauli and it was amazing - the butter mashed with olive oil caramelises, which works so well. Loved the crispy leaves too, esp with the lemony crème fraîche dip
