Bank Holiday Monday: We were supposed to go to Notting Hill Carnival today, but were put off by the torrential rain. Instead, we had a cosy day in and had afternoon tea of Irish coffees and courgette and walnut cake. Dinner was the leftover barbecued jerk chicken from Sunday with rice and peas (so at least we had a bit of carnival atmosphere!).
Tuesday: The weather is still decidedly bleak so we are having chunky bacon and lentil soup with a homemade malted and seeded loaf on the side to warm us up.
Wednesday: Tonight will have a Turkish theme- I'm thinking lamb koftes, homemade pitta breads, baba ganoush and a selection of other mezzes. This may or may not be a thinly veiled excuse to break out the baklava...
Thursday: We will have a fresh, vibrant salad with some prawn pil pil and a potato salad on the side.
Friday: Inspired by our new favourite Korean restaurant, we're going to have a go at making our own Bibambap. I'll get some nice beef from the butchers which will combined with colourful vegetables, a sticky rice and a hot, spicy dressing.
Saturday: Last week we salt baked a sea bass and were very impressed by the results. The fish was wonderfully succulent and perfectly cooked. We will have another go this weekend, with a different fish.
Sunday: The main course hasn't been decided yet, but for dessert I'm going to make a pear and frangipane tart, accompanied by a warm chocolate sauce. Can't wait!
