I've
been busy preparing a buffet lunch today, delivering the food to the 6th floor
offices of CPLG. I received some fabulous cherry tomatoes from Andreas today, that went
into a rocket and cherry tomato salad. They were so sweet and so crisp, all
that was needed to finish the salad was a drizzle of olive oil. The twice baked
aubergine salad at the front of the second photo is a great vegetarian option
and one of my favourite dishes, and it's also gluten free, dairy free, and
vegan. The chocolate and oatmeal cookies are really crisp and crunchy and taste
yummy. I missed Hanna today....hence the below
par photography!
A wonderful moist cake, lighter in texture than a traditional fruit cake, with quite a boozy kick. As I was in mid Wales last weeken, I had plenty of free range eggs, the marmalade I received from Stuart last week (see my post below calle Dinner for 41 Club), and the very last of the apples from mums orchard. I found the recipe in River Cottage Fruit Everyday and think it would be prefect for tea Easter Sunday.
I cook once a month for 41 Club in Hammersmith at Linden House.
This months menu was country pate with pistachio and pickled vegetables, rump of lamb with ratatouille, salsa verde and buttered couscous and meringues with berries and cinnamon cream.
What a great bunch of guys - they love their food and are always so appreciative.....
