spatulas and stilettos

nigella's and tessa's of this world, brace up! i've been to the library and i've found me a new bestest friend in the kitchen department : ravinder bhogal. what the girl does and how she does it ... i guess i better get used to high heels too, 'cos this appetizing element is called cook in boots, which does sound daring, non?

the very first recipe i put my hand on in this gastronomic walhalla consists quite simply of (stale) bread, chilli & sugar grilled courgette and mozzarella. three winners, i'm in! [if only for mozzarella replaced by a few crumbs of leftover stilton, and marinated tomatoes instead of fresh ones. it works equally well].

toss those ingredients together, add a splash of olive oil and wine (or other) vinegar, let it all soak a bit, add lettuce and basil before serving. oh. also scatter back pepper generously. thank you miss bhogal. bon appétit!
