Tortellini

Well despite my undying love of pasta, I've never made it from scratch.  Shocking I know, but I am without pasta machine.  So a Monday evening was the night it was going to happen.  I decided to make tortellini and to fill it with the closest things to hand, spinach, ricotta and chorizo.  

BBQ on the fields

You can BBQ again on Highbury Fields.  Hurrah! The ban has been lifted.  I wish we could BBQ in my neighbouring Clissold Park.  I've had several idea's about how this could work.  Give out bricks, hire out BBQ's.. its criminal that in London most people don't have a garden and we're not allowed to BBQ in our public parks.  

Pizza

I started making pizza the other day, started with the dough obviously.  I was mixing the ingredients together and realised that I had made a serious error with the quantities.  Too much yeast.  For the record, the scales that I have are in ounces so this happens a lot.  Its why I don't bake.  I started adding flour and water until it felt right and by that I mean, quite a fluid dough and then I let it prove slowly for a good couple of hours.

Ooh I got me a new camera

This is a kale and mushroom risotto.
