Mixed summer veg stew

A spicy coleslaw like salad

Easier than you might think.

Sweet and sour turnip thing, good with roasts.

Chewy and sticky, and not overpoweringly sweet.

The definitive pickled onion recipe. Perfectly crunchy, and with a bit of a kick.

Gil's winning way with excess lamb. Not a sausage - but with merguez style spices.

Silly, lovely, soft and chewy American style chocolate chip cookies by Bagpuss.

Another of Bagpuss's delicious biscuit recipes. This produces very nice biscuits akin to shortbread which are also very pretty with the spiral effect.

A thick tomato soup that you'd never guess had marrow in. It's so good it's almost worth growing marrows for. It's a heavy, main-meal soup.

From Naomi, the definitive accompaniment for roast lamb or mutton.

Mrs Fiddlesticks noticed - Some risotto anxiety has come to light. I thought I'd put the recipe I use ( a rough variant on one courtesy of Gary Rhodes)
