Swift post which may make you hungry. Sorry to be absent but it has been a hectic 10 days and the alarm set every morning for one appt or another. Yesterday, Eldest Daughter asked me to make these Pumpkin Pizzas - on the cover of the latest in-house mag from Tescopolis. They are tied up with string, which was fiddly putting on and removing. Dark colour is due to paprika egg wash. Very tasty (inside is pasta sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni, chopped). HERE is the link to the recipe.
Above is the Kale, Pasta and Cannellini Bean Soup from the same magazine. Needed some oomph to it so will add smoked paprika or chilli flakes tomorrow. As you can see, mine turned out very thick, so needed letting down a bit too.
Above and below, the most DIVINE cake - Pear and Almond. We have had the best-ever crop of pears this year - on a tree bought for £7.50 or so from Morrisons a few years back. I am struggling to cope with its largesse. Anyway, found this recipe in one of my books yesterday and can heartily recommend it.
Above - the Pear and Nutmeg Flapjacks. Personally - thought there was far too much Nutmeg -a teaspoon of it is approaching dangerous levels as it is toxic! Seriously. I would leave it out and use ground Ginger instead.
This is the book the recipe came from, by the way.
Here's a book I treated myself to recently - I love her work. I was reading this during the night when I couldn't sleep (again).
