Food
fuːd/
noun
any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink in order to maintain life and growth.
Without actually planning it the blog developed a foodie theme this week - from pizza vending machines, via pavlova, through energy saving cooking utensils and on to ratatouille every post had a food related theme. Food has also taken up much of my time this week - produce is coming in thick and fast from the garden now so as well as freezing the excess I have been busy cooking.
This week I have made the following for the first time:
- Berry swirl ice-cream (my own made up recipe)
- Elderflower and Cucumber Lollies
- Red cabbage coleslaw
I have also made for later: passata (bottled), jam and baked red cabbage (frozen).

| How fabulous is the colour of this red cabbage? |
I prepared first night supper for guests - lasagne, salad and pavlova and fed a steady stream of visiting children with iced buns.
And if that wasn't enough I have been busy adding new ideas to my "Food of the Future" board - recipes I want to try pretty soon. Oh and I worked out you can make a passable gravy from scratch in the microwave when the gas runs out.
Yes, definitely a food week!
Have you cooked something new this week? Or can you recommend something else I can do with red cabbage as I still have several more in the garden!
Definitely the word for you this week! I'd only think of coleslaw, too - bubble and squeak any good with red cabbage? Hope you find something! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
ReplyDeleteRed cabbage bubble and squeak may well work - I'll give it a go!
DeleteMmmmm Food, this is a word that I like :-) its great when you can incorporate homegrown produce into the menu x #WotW
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is very satisfying.
DeleteWhat a great word! Sounds like a fun week x
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteOhh yum! Sounds like a tasty week! I do like the sound of the Elderflower and Cucumber Lollies!
ReplyDeleteThe boys have not tried them yet - I hope they like them.
DeleteBerry swirl ice-cream sounds...YUMMY!!!!!!!!!! #WotW
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and make it again and write the recipe down this time!
DeleteThat red cabbage looks beautiful. Coleslaw is always a winner, otherwise the only other way I can easily think of for it raw is very finely sliced, stuffed in a pitta with BBQ-ed meat a la kebab shop style :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good and I have some pittas in the freezer.
DeleteBaked with apple and a dash of red wine works well - would that freeze?
ReplyDeleteThat is similar to what I already do so it should freeze - thank you!
