    Pretty good vegetarian Sunday pizza with artichokes. Later, flatbreads with the surplus dough - will make three small ones.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      ... Mexican black bean chilli bowl, from the excellent book by Dr Rupy Aujla -



      To make it a little less aggressively healthy I contributed a side plate of fried slices of chorizo...

        I should think a complete fennel could be chopped up, but a whole fennel ought to be left in one piece.

        (Or is it the other way round?)

          Ask Beefo. I meant, like, a whole one minus the feathery leaves (which had mostly been removed anyway) and a small slice off the root end. All sliced up.

            This is a whole fennel. I used a whole fennel in my soup.

              Okay, I got it wrong. I put a whole one in. Sliced.

                I cooked fennel this evening, with chicken fillets. Whole (not complete ) sliced in half from top to bottom. Blanched in salted water, then baked in a butter-smeared dish with knobs of butter, grated nutmeg, black pepper and lots of grated Parmesan.

                  Fennel - cut off the stalks they never go soft . Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a small casserole , add four large cloves of garlic thinly sliced. When they have only slightly coloured and two bulbs of fennel quartered . Turn the fennel so that it begins to colour but do not let the oil get too hot as the garlic may burn. When the fennel is slightly golden add one large glass of dry white wine . Bring to the boil season to taste and then put in a pre-heated oven Gas Mark 3 160 Celsius 325 Fahrenheit - for one hour - have a look and turn the pieces of fennel from time to time . Serve with sea bass or pork or just about anything .

                    unless I've led a sheltered life and people on this side of the Atlantic actually eat such stuff.

                    Wow.

                          Don't know what that means , but it sounds tasty. Half way through the summer and I haven't made a salad with tahini dressing yet …

                                My early attempts to pronounce quinoa rivalled those of R3 presenters to pronounce Tárrega. My foodie niece put me right.
