The best cookbook in the world - another success!

I've praised the Year at Avoca cookbook earlier as well, but I have to do it again, with even more praise... Our Easter dinner combined 3 items from the book, and they were all fabulous! The book is a fail-proof source of original ideas and traditional favourites with a new twist.

This time we tried three recipes from the spring section of the book; Sweet Ball Pepper Stew, Boulangere Potatoes with fennel and onion and Baby Spinach Salad with bloog orange dressing and soft goat's curd. With some lamb/salmon on the side. Everything had such deepness in the flavours; with relatively simple steps to produce them. I'm not gonna write down the recipes though, you'll have to get the book!


Boulangere Potatoes were a new concept for me. But the softness of the potatoes and fennel and the mixed flavours convinced me at once!


Mediterranean cooking is so easy - bit of garlic and white wine to dress up the vegetables - yummie!


Finally a recipe for pomegranate that does not rely on them. Superb colours and splendour of tastes...


Topped with some well-marinated salmon and white wine... Food cannot get better than this!
