Bread

Vegetarian-Italian

I promise that I am working on writing a long ol’ post about my summer and future plans. Thing is, I am working extra hours this week all while coming down with a stinker of a summer cold.

That hasn’t stopped me trying to learn new veggie recipes. This week I cooked my first every aubergine parmigiana, the suggested serving was focaccia. So I decided to learn to bake some of that too.

Very pleased with the results, the herbs came straight from my own home grown supplies.

Baking, Making, Cooking

I’ve spent the week baking more bread, making jams, a sourdough starter and am planning to spend this afternoon cooking a vegetarian onion and potato tart.

Here’s a few pictures from the past week’s results, will post some of today’s tart later:

I am very aware of how much more I am using the (electric) oven, but I can justify that for knowing that our food is healthier and homemade.

While writing this, I’ve decided to bake a traditional Victoria Sponge cake, but will likely do that tomorrow. Will have to keep you waiting for those pics until tomorrow. ;)
