The sun was shining this weekend and with it came the obligatory rosé glass or two (who’s counting!?).

Prosciutto, Goats Cheese and Courgette Salad

Spicy Sweet Potato Soup with Cheese Scones

I do think though especially during the summer there’s very few things better, especially when the produce is so fresh and hard to resist! This is a bit of an evolution of the greek salad recipe I…… Continue reading Greek Salad and Then Some!
