Summer days drawing to an end
As it turns out, 18 lettuce seedlings in a 30cm x 30cm planter is actually quite excessive.
Buffalo bliss
Mini buffalo mozzarella balls are so cute but treat them carefully because they are wondrously soft.
Potato Salad
Potato salad ready to go! Think picnic, barbecue or summer snacking.
Coffee & Hazelnut Tiramisu
Great. You get to the end of a meal with friends. Everyone’s having a ball, and you can too, because dessert is all prepared and ready to go!

These pizzas are sooooo good.
