Bunch of peppermint

A bunch of peppermint or rather a bouquet…


Stringy beans make a lovely dish with walnuts and garlic.

Cauliflower power

It is 23.00 and still 32C, warm, warm, warm.
So it is that for dinner a salad is more than sufficient.
Tonight it was a roasted cauliflower salad with lemon juice and garlic - absolutely lovely, even if it is just me saying so.

Oh, fig it!

The fig season is here!!!
Figs and natural yoghurt make a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

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.
