I definitely do not mean that we should become vegetarians. Having had some washed up vegetables from the previous day's recipe "Mixed Roasted Vegetables" I thought of processing, ground beef, a zucchini, a medium sized eggplant, an onion and an orange bell pepper into as much of a paste as possible then to just.....

F or Sunday lunch I wanted to make something special. Didn't have much in the fridge so I used some sweet red peppers and zucchini to stuff a 1 kg breast of turkey...

Courtesy Of Wikipedia  Courtesy Of Wikipedia H ad the clever idea of making a Beef Wellington for Epiphany which did not turn out the way I expected it because basically it was the first time I made it. All I knew about it was that you take a piece of beef and wrap it in puff pastry, seal it and stick it in the oven till the the pastry turns out a dark golden color.

O h yes pasta!! My favorite dish. I can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. There were some guests on Epiphany Lunch who do not eat Escargot (Snai ls) so I had to think of something they like. I had a freshly opened package of giant shells and used 12 of them to make two oven proof plates for their appetizers.....
