Here's a topic that we can all be happy on! I will check out the website you linked, cheers. Love cooking and finding new recipes.

I've found quite a few I've enjoyed recently on the Slimming Eats website, especially this one which I will be making when we have friends over tomorrow:

Cooking, one of my passions and a great stress reliever. Most Friday and Saturday nights are spent in the kitchen, a few drinks, reconnecting ourselves after a busy week, and cooking up a feast. It’s chicken and leek cobbler tonight from The Hairy Bikers.

We're getting our kitchen refitted in May and cannot wait.

If you're looking for a classy starter for a dinner party:
Caramelised goats cheese and pear salad.
Ingredients (for 4) -
A roll of goats cheese
Serrano ham, 2 slices, cut up small
One large pear
Big bag of rocket leaves
Pine nuts, sultanas, olive oil, lemon juice to dress

Put the rocket in a bowl, season lightly and scatter oil and lemon over, mix gently.
Slice the goats cheese into rounds, brush each with oil and scatter a bit of sugar on top of each to be caramelised.

Peel the pear, cut off small slices and put on small dish for microwave.
Distribute the rocket over four plates, scatter over ham, pine nuts and sultanas.
Caramelise the goats cheese rounds, I use blowtorch, a very hot grill might work.
Zap pear in microwave for 30 seconds.
Put some cheese rounds and warm pear slices on top of each salad and serve up.

I previously resisted all pressure to hang a TV in ours. I’m glad I persisted as it means we talk and communicate, this is even more important now that it’s just the two of us.

That's what we are hoping to achieve with ours. I really want a central part of the house where can all sit and enjoy each others company.

Our TV habits are very different which often means we're sitting in different parts of the home most of the time.

Someone bought me their Perfect Pies book years ago. Don't make it as much these days as I'm trying to lose weight rather than put it on, but their steak and ale pie from that book is one of my absolute favourite meals to make and eat.

Them and Rick Stein are my favourite chef personalities.

I reckon we should all have an end of season get together around your pool
