nahhh not complicated at all honest !! and a cobb oven is brilliant you only need about 8 barbie coals to run it so its great for picnics and because its a cool wall type thing its brilliant for the boat or picnics because you can just pack it back in its bag and put it in the boot the hairy bikers apparently have done a series with theirs but I have only just got a tv here so will have to wait until; there is a series catch up !!!

it was a great success by the way am just having a congratulatory glass of wine !!! Tarragon cream sauce is a brilliant quickie that I also serve with moulles or fish

gently fry finely chopped onions in butter add as much garlic as you want throw in a glass of vermouth and tarragon cook off the alcohol add cram or creme fraiche add seasoning and tweak the sauce if it needs it (more tarr or vermouth etc ) if its bitter just add a little sugar
if you are doing it with chicken fry the chicken in the butter first but with fish or moulles I just poach them in the sauce
and for the vols I cheated and bought the ready made ones when we got there I just put the chicken in the vols in a tinfoil container and barbied
buttered chicken just marinaded overnioght and the chicken peppers is another cheaty quickie of mine

fry up finely sliced onions add garlic
thinly slice up some chiken breast or pork loin chops and cook in onions
add frozen peppers (cheat!!)
sweet pepper puree (tom will do)
paprika and s and p
slake with a little stock
great in jacket pots ,with rice or wraps etc

I have loads of BS this year, 12 at least in store and 2 or 3 still growing.

Determined to make more than soup with them.

Will bake one later, with loads of spicing up. May try Hugh Furiously Eatsitall's recipe for stuff BS tomorrow. Can't buy Feta is the problem, so will have to use Mozzarella (I think is what I substituted before).

There is also a recipe of his for a sort of cake, not sure it is regime though, so may or may not.

Baked's by far my favourite, although soup is good too.

Well, I used a Winter squash, as it needed using, not a good specimin for keeping.

I was surprised at the depth of colour, deep orange like a pumpkin, somehow I thought it would be paler.

I peeled and sliced, put on some olive oil, lots of garlic and some spice from morocco (which turned out to be HOT!!).

Baked for 30 mins, turning every so often, inn a hot oven. Had it with left over risotto, and it was very good. A little too hot for me, but Mark really enjoyed it.

Now making curry sauce for another day or 3
