Tomato trick

I know, it is far too early in season to enjoy tomatoes, but sometimes I just can't wait..... So I use a trick:

Drizzle with olive oil, mix with sliced garlic and thyme sprigs, season well with freshly ground pepper and sea salt

and roast them in the oven on 180 ºC  for about 25 minutes.  Eat with roasted bell-peppers and buffalo-mozarella

and think about summer!

You can actually order a kit to build one yourselves. I wonder what Steve would have said...

Modern Cooking: Diana Henry

I have my own repertoire of favorite no-fuss recipes, but this book by Diana Henry really is an inspiration!

Just like from her book "Crazy water, pickled lemons",  I want to cook EVERYTHING that's in it.
