Hey! Good lookin’!

[Disco]

I made the menu at home, it was included in the invites so you could pick what you wanted, so we could get the ingredients in ready!

You did a bloomin' good job. I'd eat the lot and want more.

[baargain]

It was so tasty, and I was very pleased with our efforts!

I made a blood orange & rosemary upside down cake this evening.

Wow, that looks beautiful.

[Disco]

Oooh!

After a couple of weeks of hardly cooking at all (toasties, takeaways, egg on toast, more things with toast ) I’ve finally done a bit of chopping and stirring.

I made Carla Lalli Music’s melted cauliflower [linguine] which I’ve been fancying for weeks. It was nice enough, if a bit lacking in dimension. Next time I will add crispy lardons or chorizo and maybe play around with the cooking of the onions a bit. It felt like a good start.

I think I tried this and was similarly underwhelmed. My fave new cauliflower pasta is Melissa Clark's Fusilli & Roasted Cauliflower with Capers. I've got some roasted cauli in the fridge atm so am going to try a leftover version tomorrow.

Well now, this sounds like a much better use of my next cauli effort - I love roasted cauliflower so much! Let us know how your leftover version goes.

Pippola, Your cake is just beautiful

[Toast]

Alison Roman also has a good cauliflower pasta recipe.

I love your cake, Pip!

[Pippedydeadeye]

I can report that the cake tastes pretty good too.

[Skips]

That cake looks amazing! I'm glad it tastes good.

[AshleyX]

The cake looks scrumptious. I wish I had a slice right now

[Pippedydeadeye]

The cake has only improved today.

This evening we had Bolognese, garlic bread & rocket salad.

No mixing sauce and pasta, Pip?

[wendy james]

Garlic pie and cake both look good!

[Disco]

Gaaaaaar-lic pie!

[Jet]

Garlic pie sounds right up my street!

[FiveO'Clock]

The garlic pie looks amazing!

[Edith Bacon]

Your garlic pie looks terrific, emma! What’s the inside like? I’m trying to imagine and can’t. (I could Google, but I would like to know about yours).

I just made a sausage roast/bake. It’s a riff on a Smitten Kitchen recipe - hers is sausage, potatoes and shallots, roasted off and then tossed with rocket and lemon juice to serve. I added roasted peppers to the roasting pan and tossed it all with rocket and agrodolce. It was lush.
