I had some lovely green beans and other roasted veg ...I did have one or two roast potatoes ...but with olive oil ...nice olive oil ....
Ooooh yes please jan if you don't mind that sounds like my sort of meal ...thank you so much ....
Roast med Salad, Peppers , assorted colours Onions , Tomatoes, cur all the veg into weddges and arrange them i an oven proof dish, mix together equal quantities of basamic vinegar and olive oil, small pinch of sugar, salt and pepper and dried basil. juice of half a lemon, whisk until it emulsifies and pour over the veg,, scatter with fresh basil leaves if available, cover with a tight fitting lid or kitchen foil and bake in a low oven until done (about an hour) I sometimes scatter some grated cheese on top and pop back in the oven until it melts The juices are the best bit for me. Bon Apetite forgot a couple of cloves of garlic chopped finely oops!Ooooh yes please jan if you don't mind that sounds like my sort of meal ...thank you so much ....
Thank is really kind thank you
Anything to make life and food more interesting, baked camembert with crudete is nice too so easy.Jan thank,you those roasted veggies are so me , I am going to make that ...I had not thought about adding balsamic vinegar to olive oil , but I will now ...I love garlic and lemon juice , I will make and enjoy ...Going to get the vinegar next time we go,out shopping ....

Me a Chef LOL no it is just things we enjoy, the baked camembert is a doddle, Just take it out of the box remove the plastic wrapping and wrap it in kitchen foil, slice off the top add a drop of oil and some garlic granuals pop the top back on and seal the package I normally put the cheese in a ramekin when it is soft and squidgy it is ready nice with breadsticks or vegiesGoodness jan , can you come to my kitchen please
Are you a famous chef ....
I have never made baked Camembert but I am going to ....thanks chef jan ...
Your husband must enjoy your meals very much ...hope all is going well with you both ....Kat ...
Hi chef jan
Another method of cooking for me to try ...Parsnips make a nice soup, with a little curry paste added ans perhaps a dollop of creme frais stirred in at the very endCauliflower and Stilton soup for us ..homemade ...see how that does not sound so global ....nice though ...
Tonight we are having spinach and mushrooms cooked in spices tomatoes and coconut ...with a little basmati rice ...
