I've been a big fan of Felicity Cloake's Perfect column for the Guardian ever since it started. more...
About ten years ago, Toby, my then-flatmate and I had a homemade pasta disaster. At this time, we were both in our first jobs, not very well-paid and didn't have the money or the time to experiment in the kitchen prior to making a dish for friends. So whenever people came round for dinner, which happened quite often, it was a bit hit-and-miss if we were making something new. (I'm pleased to say that the pasta incident was, in fact, the only real disaster, though a few times we had to think quickly on our feet when something turned out differently to expected.)
My blog entry on summery pasta dishes a few days ago has been leading me to dwell a bit more on pasta, and appropriate sauces.
After getting off to a very late start, summer has finally arrived in Berlin. The last few days here have been getting steadily hotter and the temperature is expected to peak this weekend at around 38°C.
