focaccia (bread)

I felt inspired to try some and here is mine. I used this recipe but tweaked it to my own taste and what i had in. I used parsley and mushrooms. I didn't sprinkle it with sea salt as i was worried it would become too salty but may try a little next time! The fillings are endless you can try anything almost!












Mixed in to the dough Rosemary
Sun dried tomatoes, anchovies, black olives , feta cheese drizzled with olive oil.

When the lady on her blog said she had to be physically restrained from making these foccia's i was laughing but i think its the case here now with me, yes i made another one yesterday but thought it wise to post here
This one is cherry tomatoes, basil in the dough, anchovies and feta cheese with freshly grinded salt, chili and garlic. They are very yummy.

My Afternoon in Covent Garden

Sweet Berry Fool

A very quick and simple summer desert

I blitzed some strawberries with 1-2 table spoons of sugar (adjust to your taste). Keep about 3-4 strawberries on the side whole for decor latter.
In the mean time i whisked up the whipping cream until the peaks appear.


I then fold in 1-2 table spoons of natural yogurt and the blitzed strawberries.

Spoon into your dishes and decorate with the some sliced strawberries and allow to chill in the fridge.

Enjoy!
