Tea Time

Last weekend on my holiday by the sea we had a birthday tea party for a friend on the balcony of the house we were staying in. Inspired by Cornish tradition we made a Victoria sponge cake and turned it into a Clotted Cream Tea Cake by sandwiching it with jam and clotted cream. It was completely delicious and is highly recommended!!

Souper Duper

Last night I had a good browse on a gorgeous food blog - Tartelette. If you haven't heard of it, do visit, if just for the amazing food styling and light-filled photography. I saw a post on Roast Vegetable Soup, and although I often make vegetable soup, I've never roasted the vegetables first, but it inspired me and today I made some for lunch, then loved it so much I made it again, slightly differently, for supper! I just used whatever veg I had, and added a pile of basmati rice and some goat's cheese which melted and all in it was divine! There was no light for a photo, so I've illustrated the recipe instead!
