Barbara’s steak was good. Food writer guru Richard Ehrlich agrees with me that her recipe for Leg of Lamb is utterly bonkers. So I’m dropping the lamb and giving the steak a double thumbs up. I might give her Chicken Mousse recipe a go too, just in case that is a contender.
There has been much Ottolenghi action since payday when I bought “Jerusalem”. Oh my goodness what a book. Everything in it looks utterly divine and I’m cooking my way through it.
I really loved Pan-fried Mackerel with Beetroot and Orange Salsa but my photo of it was rotten.
Mr Shoulder came round for dinner one night and I made Chicken with Caramalised Onion and Cardamon Rice but forgot to take a photo. I did however get one of the Baby Spinach Salad with Dates & Almonds:
On Thursday night I went to Cathy’s for dinner. We were supposed to be “doing an Ottolenghi” together but as usual, Cathy did all the work.

ARG – DELICIOUS! Every single thing has been a taste sensation. Mm. Favourite thing so far? The Set Yoghurt Pudding that Cathy made. If Barbara came round for dinner I would definitely make this for her… Knockout!
