fruit: Conference pears, Gala apples, bananas, oranges, Hass avocado
veg: red onions, Ambo potatoes, Romanescu cauliflower, carrots, beetroot, Savoy cabbage, Romero pepper, sweet potatoes, lettuce

The Savoy cabbage and Romanescu cauliflower are so beautiful!  I have put them in a bowl on my kitchen counter as a sort of Winter Vegetable still life.  Even so, cooked they must be.  The cauliflower will go into a Floret pasta bake (a sort of cauliflower macaroni cheese) and the Savoy will become part [1] Minestrone Stew and part chinese noodles to go with glazed salmon steaks (much easier and quicker than it sounds!).

The sweet pototoes will be cut into chips and baked with some sausages for a quick kiddie supper and the carrots, potatoes, beetroot and red onions will become a hearty Borscht.  Lunches this week will be beigels with: avocado and some streaky bacon; [2] chicken live pâté and gherkin; brie and Romero pepper; creamy blue cheese and Conference pear.

Please don’t forget to send me your entries for [3] our competition as there is only one week left.  There will be some hand made truffles up for grabs…
