Discover for yourself how easy this tomato soup is to make and enjoy it whenever you have fresh tomatoes but you can also use canned. Obviously the freshest tomatoes are best ! Melt a large dollop of butter in a pot, slice up onions and garlic ( this is optional as you may wish to add spring onions at the end) and add a heap of tomatoes - as many as your hunger require. ( If you have a lot of spare tomatoes its a good idea to make extra to freeze) I normally don't even skin mine as we like the texture. Add stock - enough to make a thickish soup (or a stock cube if you must use packet ingredients !) but best to add fresh herbs - if you are in a rush just add the sprigs themselves or chop finely if you have extra time. That's it !! Serve with large chunks of toasted rustic bread buttered lavishly and congratulate yourself on a super fast and delicious meal that everyone will absolutely love.

This was a spur of the moment dish created after hunger drove us to the fridge from the garden wanting something a bit more than salad. This is really quick to assemble but you need to think a bit ahead for the cooking time but it gives you a chance to relax while it is cooking. Filo pastry - at least 8 sheets but variable according to your appetite ! Grease an ovenproof dish or pan place one doubled over sheet of filo as a base, cover with another folded sheet of Filo pastry, brush on melted butter ( use the microwave to melt quickly) - if you wish add another several sheets of Filo. Work quickly as the Filo will dry out if you take too long. Add several sliced tomatoes and two eggs per person , a handful of what ever herbs you have to hand - tarragon is great with it but parsley, basil is excellent too. Toss in a few slices of cheese ( feta is extra special) and cover with at least 4 sheets of folded over Filo. More Filo is optional ! Brush with butter and bake...

The Great Noodle Craze has come upon us again. Brought on by a sudden hunger and empty cupboard we shot down to our local supermarket and spotted an Asian supply shop right next to the fresh fruit and vegetable shop we usually go to. Fresh seasonal vegetables, noodles, - easy, easy. How come we didn't even notice it before ? Intending a super fast whizz round the place we became enticed by all the packets, and shelves stacked to overflowing with many possibilities and potential meals. We spent so long cruising the shop that the assistant was becoming suspicious of our intentions and kept sidling up and down the aisles watching us. The end result was two huge bags, stuffed to overflowing with noodles of all descriptions and sizes, half the shop and a relieved sales assistant when we produced the money to pay for it. We discovered can be added to almost any dish we create and every dish has the potential to be converted to a noodle frenzy. Our recent favorite is...

Have More Energy Than a kitten Greek Yoghurt Sauce Chop Spring Onions, Coriander, mint and 2 cloves of garlic Deseed one chilli and add to mix, Fold this all together with yoghurt - try one cup to start and add until you like the taste Add extra chilli sauce - sweet chilli sauce is good. Use with couscous, over patties, on meat loaf, eggplant dishes or whatever takes your fancy. Mushroom and Sage Tart Grill 4 big mushrooms on a bed of sage Place mushrooms on sheet of pastry and cut round each mushroom. This is so the pastry will rise up around the mushrooms when cooked. Brush with egg and lay sage leaves around the mushrooms Brush top again with egg - if you prefer not to use egg skip this step and sprinkle with parmesan cheese Bake 10 - 12 mins in a hot oven. Delicious and quick tart. Serve with a salad or grilled veges. I have also tried Nigella Lawson's Melon Salad and this is very easy to do and tastes delicious too so give it a try: Chopped Watermel...

My recipe collection of quick and easy vegetarian recipes has evolved over time and after some embarrassing moments, some boring meals, and also, after some luscious and scrumptious food that was mouthwateringly memorable. I once had a fantastic friend who would have done anything for me. The sort of person who, if you admired her clothing would want to give it to you. One night we attended a dinner party in her very tiny flat.
