Just add chilli

A chickpea and broccoli stew kind of a thing is really good with some additional chilli and garlic.

Hand picked

I picked these figs myself, so of course they did taste extra delicious!


I do have a stiff competition from parrots when it comes to figs. They were telling all sorts of nasty thing about me in a very loud voice while I was picking the fruit.

Just add chilli

As chillies are getting ready one by one in my little garden I made another chillied up dish.


Chilli makes a regular pasta much more summery, in my opinion.

Flowers galore

There is no two ways about it - I do love flowers.



Luckily our Farmers Market has a fabulous flower stall.

Fencoli

One thing I have grown fond over time is fennel.
This fennel, pear and toasted walnut salad with some provolone piccante turned out very tasty and refreshing.

Zesty start

For me, breakfast is very important. It really sets the outlook for a day.
A banana, red currant and ginger smoothie is a very good and invigorating start for the day.

Chilli and coriander

There is a tandem that always packs a punch - chilli and coriander, especially when they come from my own little garden.
So, this time they complimented chick peas fried with garlic and olive oil.
