Courgette Chips and Mayonnaise

August 26, 2013

Damn it. I have just realised that these are accidentally kind of healthy, so dip in plenty of mayonnaise.

Courgette and Chorizo Tarts

September 30, 2012

Tasty little individual tarts made with a thyme and parmesan pastry then filled with courgette and chorizo.

Just a little ‘Something for the Weekend’. In the days before children, Ed used to often make something like this on a Friday night after work. Something to tide us over until dinner. The truth of the matter was, once we’d had this and a few beers, we rarely got round to bothering with dinner. […]

Chutney 2009

September 16, 2009

2008’s Courgette Chutney, made by Ed, was a resounding success. We ate plenty of it ourselves and also gave some to friends and all agreed it was really quite good. A good dollop with cheese on toast or with crusty bread and ham was always welcome. We even ran out before Summer, so this year […]

Courgette Flowers

August 12, 2009

I’ve got so much to do today as we are off camping in North Wales, so I shouldn’t really be posting about stuffing courgettes. That said our very cute Border Terrier Ernie is snuggled on my lap and tea is mashing in the pot so I have a few moments to spare before the chores begin. Our friends […]

Courgette Soup

August 5, 2009

Ian Fischer, who we follow on Twitter and who also has a lovely vegetarian Blog here asked about our version of courgette soup. Neither Ed nor I can believe that not only have we never photographed it but we have never even got around to photographing our courgettes growing, post-harvest or in Ed’s very successful courgette […]
