Will be making your bread this week for sure

I’d never even thought of it, what a great idea and sure to go down well with the kids too. I’d also forgotten about courgette soup, my mum makes a lovely one and I really must get her recipe!

It was a lovely salad, sure to made again whilst we still have oregano flowers. I really need to invest in a mandolin though as it was a tad tricky cutting courgettes slithers with an ordinary knife. Mandolins have always scared me though, can’t watch them on Masterchef!

We love courgette gratin, and it’s a great way to use up those monsters that get missed, but it does get a bit tideous after a few weeks! I chop up a monster courgette (the bigger the better for my lot), put in a pan with a little water to stop it burning. Let it simmer until soft, drain and pour into a large ovenproof dish, sprinkle with salt, pepper and nutmeg then cover with a cheese sauce made with lardons. Sprinkle with a little cayenne pepper then put under the grill to burn. Makes a great lunch or veg accompanyment.

And I’m so chuffed you’ve included my courgette salad with oregano flowers. It’s always lovely when people tell you they’ve tried your recipes, but seeing photographs too is very special!
