<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A little bit about </span><a href="http://www.stoves.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Stoves UK</span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">; Founded in 1920, Stoves is one of the UK’s best loved cooking brands. It is also one of the only major kitchen appliance brands still committed to manufacturing in the UK with 100% of its freestanding cookers, built-in ovens and hobs and range cookers assembled at its Merseyside headquarters. All products are designed and built in the UK specifically with British cooks in mind. Stoves is a founding member of the Made in Britain campaign championing British manufacturing.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As a regular visitor to the BBC Good Food Show's, I love to catch some of the live cookery demonstrations on the Stoves stand. Over the four days there were a host of celebrity chefs cooking up a storm; from Brian Turner to Phil Vickery, Glynn Purnell to Rachel Allen. One of the recipes that caught my attention was Glynn Purnell's duck with spiced plum jam and watercress. I love duck and I have to admit it's something I don't cook that often as it can be a bit pricey... This was just way too tempting though. I added some shredded sweet potato to make it more of a substantial evening meal, baked in the oven for 20 minutes then finished off tossed in the remaining duck fat!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That’s what you need to cut through that rich duck and crisp pak choi to blend and balance. Duck is a fab meat either spiced up or classically served. I cook duck a lot and the kids love it. Fat and delicious!"</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Preheat the oven to 180˚C/gas 4.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Begin by making the plum jam. Heat the sugar and vinegar until it starts to thicken.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add the coriander, take off the heat and season with salt and ginger powder.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Break the pak choi into individual leaves and split each leaf down the middle. Put to one side.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Heat a frying pan. Slash the duck skin and place the breasts, skin side down, on the warm pan. Cook until the skin has caramelised (about 3 minutes). Pour off the excess fat and put it to one side.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lay the duck breasts, skin side down in a baking tin, and cook in the oven for 7–8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pour the excess fat back into the frying pan and place on a medium heat. Once hot, add the pak choi and toss in the hot duck fat. Remove from the pan and season.</span></li>

I turned this into a more substantial winter salad by adding some avocado (for protein), some stuffed baby peppers and a mixed salad of rocket, spinach and watercress. I drizzled a little of the dressing over the salad to bring it all together.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like many of the smaller towns of Umbria, Narni is still of strikingly medieval appearance today, with stone buildings, and narrow cobblestone streets. The town is famous for one of the largest Roman bridges (Ponte d'Augusto<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narni#cite_note-8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">]</a></sup>) ever built, by which the Via Flaminia crossed the Nera. One arch of the bridge still stands; it is some 30 meters high.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Our visit concluded with a tour of <a href="http://www.narnisotterranea.it/INGLESE/index2.htm" target="_blank">Narni Sotterranea</a>, situated </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;">under St. Dominic's monastery area, the entrance is in a 12th century church, discovered just 30 years ago. This church still preserves some of the most ancient frescos of the city. Through a passage in the masonry we enter into a large room with a roman cistern, which is probably the remains of a roman house, a "domus". </span><span style="text-align: justify;"></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;">Then, through a long narrow passage, we reach a large dark room which was the Tribunal of the Inquisition, where the accused heretics were put on trial. Several documents, discovered in the municipal and</span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;"></span><span class="style18" lang="EN-US" style="text-align: justify;">Vatican Archives and Trinity College in Dublin,</span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;"></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify;">and the traces left on the masonry by the torture instruments , prove the existence of these trials. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">A little cell, unique in this way in Italy, gives evidence, through graffiti on its wall, of the pain suffered by those who were imprisoned there to be put on trial. One of them left a message in a graphic code that still isn't completely decoded.</span></span></div>
<div class="style23" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A photogaphic exibition shows the instruments used by the Tribunal to extort confessions from those accused of heresy. The tour of "Narni Underground" ends in the big cistern of the medieval "Lacus", under Garibaldi Square.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our tour was conducted by one of the original founders of the caves, although he spoke little English, and me even less Italian, I was captivated by his story. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">An early start took us to witness the breathtaking beauty of "<a href="http://www.marmorefalls.it/home.php" target="_blank">Cascate delle Marmore</a>" (<a href="http://www.marmorefalls.it/home.php" target="_blank">Marmore Falls</a>), a man-made course reaching a height of 165m and divided into three falls. It is the highest in Europe and dates back to the 3rd Century BC. Legend has it that a young shepherd boy, Velino, fell in love with the beautiful nymph Nera after seeing her bathe in the river. After being rejected, he threw himself off a cliff in to the river so as to remain with his beloved for eternity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Historically, it was created to divert the water into the river Nera, thus freeing the valley from the swamp and making it healthier. The waterfall was altered again in between the 15th and 18th centuries to clear obstructions caused by limestone deposits. Since the mid 19th century it has been used to produce hydroelectric energy for Terni, and is therefore only open to visitors as certain times throughout the year when the water release is controlled.</span></div>

Amelia - <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">a town situated on </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">a hill overlooking the </span>Tiber River<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"> to the east and the Nera River to the west. Considered</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"> the oldest town in Umbria, it was supposedly founded by a legendary </span>Umbrian<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"> king, King Ameroe, who gave the city the name </span><span lang="la" style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;" xml:lang="la">Ameria. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">It </span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">is especially known for its walls, parts of which may date to Amelia's earliest days. Large segments of which are built in </span>polygonal masonry<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"> of carefully jointed blocks of limestone — most likely an </span>Etruscan<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;"> work (a 30-meter segment of this wall collapsed in 2006 and is under repair). The walls were further fortified and enlarged during Roman times and during the Middle Ages. The walls run about 720 meters and are about 3.5 meters thick, with four main gates: the imposing Porta Romana to the south, the main access to the town; Posterola to the north; Porta Leone to the east; and Porta della Valle to the west.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Onwards to San Gemini - a <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">well-preserved medieval town with two lines of walls, built over the remains of a small Roman center along the old </span>Via Flaminia<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">. It is especially known for its mineral waters..</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The twelfth-century duomo dedicated to the commune's patron, the locally venerated Saint Gemine, whose relics were recovered in 1775, was rebuilt in 1817. Brother Gemine was a monk of Syrian origins who died in 815. The burial urn and original stone are conserved in the sacristy; the saint has been reburied under the high altar. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The saint's day is 9th October and while visiting on Saturday 8th we witnessed the historical re-enactments where the town wears the colours of the flags that the two neighbourhoods, Rocca and Piazza, hang at their windows during the celebrations. There are parades and a jousting tournament where the winning town is awarded with the Palio d'argento. We watched a fabulous display by the apprentice flag throwers at the Piazza Palazzo Vecchio.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<span style="line-height: 16.12px;">With the hilltop city of Perugia as its capital, Umbria is called the country's green heart, known for its medieval hill towns, dense forests and local cuisine, particularly foraged truffles and wines.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.12px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 16.12px;">My stay in Terni started with a visit to Arrone, an ancient fortified hilltop town dating back to the ninth century, and some of its most remarkable places. Meandering through the picturesque alleyways, passing old stone houses and ancient monuments and visiting some of its beautiful churches.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After searching through customer nominations, reviews, mystery shopping reports and visits to the ten shortlisted delis and farm shops from across the Midlands, The BBC Good Food Show are delighted to award Legges of Bromyard with the coveted title of The Midlands Best Deli or Farm Shop 2015. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The judging panel scored each shop on a range of criteria including quality and value of produce and customer service. The number of customer nominations and reviews and mystery shopping exercises from some of the Midlands most prolific food bloggers were also taken into account. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Legges of Bromyard impressed the judging panel with its range of local produce, excellent customer service, atmosphere and overall shopping experience. Legges of Bromyard take pride in being unique - endlessly exploring the sumptuous tastes of glorious Herefordshire. They have worked non-stop since 2000 to champion the fantastic produce straight from the heart of the countryside. As farmers themselves, they know everything about the products they sell, plus most of their meat comes from within a six mile radius of the front door. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Katy Truss, Artisan food specialist for the BBC Good Food Shows and member of the judging panel, visited Legges of Bromyard and says: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"As you walk into Legges of Bromyard you don't know which way to turn; join the queue for one of the glistening hot sausages, peruse the range of local craft beers and ciders or marvel at the meats on offer in the butchery and cold meats counters. Discover new local producers from the Midlands, along with fresh fruit, vegetables and baked goods. Its beautiful displays, buzzing atmosphere, great range of produce and excellent customer service made it stand out as this year's winner".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Winner receives a free of charge stand at the BBC Good Food Show Winter at the NEC from 26 - 29 November, promoting their award winning Midlands business to tens of thousands of food loving visitors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From Alghero we headed to the Southern Capital of Cagliari. Our villa for the next few days being just outside the town in a tiny hamlet called San Paolo. As it as the weekend we really didn't venture much further than the local supermarket to stock the fridge, and the pool in the back garden.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day we packed a light picnic and headed up the road to the Sette Fratelli national park for a little hike. The mountains here are covered mainly by forest and are the natural habitat of Sardinian red deer, home to 5 pairs of golden eagles, plus some wildcat and wildboar. Unfortunately on our walk we didn't discover any of these but we did come a little too close to a tree snake!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our little road trip then took us up the East coast to Dorgali in Cala Gonone and our home for the next four nights, <a href="http://www.rifugiogorropu.it/" target="_blank">Rifugio Gorropu.</a> This agriturismo looks over a majestic valley full of vineyards and olive groves with a breathtaking view of the Gola di Gorropu (Gorropu gorge).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We enjoyed the best food of the whole holiday here, I'll go in to greater detail later...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The main reason for our stay here in the Gulf of Orosei was the gorge itself, Gola su Gorropu. Hailed as the Grand Canyon of Europe, the spectacular canyon is flanked by towering limestone walls up to 500 metres in height and 4km long. The day we visited was probably the hottest day of our trip with the temperature hitting 42 degrees! Not the greatest conditions for hiking. However, on we went. The first thing we came across on leaving the car park was a man swimming naked in the river... Already we were thinking what a great idea that was. Only 20 minutes in to our walk and we came across a beautifully crystal clear natural rock pool, too tempting to resist...We threw our boots aside and waded in, fully clothed. Besides, in this heat we would be dry again in minutes. This would repeat itself again and again until we realised we would never make it in to the belly of the canyon at this rate, so turned around, stopping for one more dip where we'd seen the man swimming. Reason to come back later in the year perhaps!?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day we drove the coast road stopping at sheltered coves and beaches along the way. One to note was spiaggia Su Barone in the marina dei Orosei. A gently shelving beach with some great shallow waves which made for hours of fun diving in to. Its waters are crystal clear and changing blue due to the plays of light created by the sun reflecting off the sea bed. You do have to pay to visit this beach but it's a nominal fee and we really didn't mind given its beauty backed by lush greenery and thick pine forests.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Further on from here was the Oasi di Bidderosa. A stunning collection of five linked coves entered along a dirt path that goes through lush pinewood enriched by eucalyptuses and junipers. The sand itself is silver in colour and . Access to the protected beaches is managed by the local authority boards and limited to a number of cars each day. Naturally, you need to book tickets in advance which can only be done by visiting the forest station.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The last day of our trip we hired an inflatable boat from <a href="http://www.palmaseraboatental.com/" target="_blank">Palmasera Boat Rental</a> to explore the coast of Orosei... Passing by some of the best beaches in the area such as Cala Fuili and Cala Luna, we wanted to find little deserted coves to land and swim. We'd packed a picnic and plenty of drinks, kept cool by the ice box provided by the rental company. The sea here is so clear you can see the sea bass swimming by, the spiky black sea urchins clinging to the rocks, even the odd starfish. Without a doubt, the most beautiful stretch of the island. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now it wouldn't be much of a food blog if I didn't mention the amazing food we had at <a href="http://www.rifugiogorropu.it/" target="_blank">Rifugio Gorropu</a>. Agriturismo are roughly translated as 'farm-stays'. They are independently owned farms where the owners have decided to turn over a portion of their property to accommodation. This means, you stay on a working farm where all or most of the produce you eat for breakfast and dinner is produced on the land or at least in the surrounding area. This also means that you will experience some of Italy's best traditional dining, just like nonna makes.</span><br />

I can't begin to tell you how much we fell in love with this little island... what I can tell you though is that we're going back again later this year. Maybe that gives you an idea!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.1200008392334px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sardinia, a large island in the Mediterranean Sea, has nearly 2,000km of coastline, sandy beaches and a mountainous interior popular for hiking. Its rugged landscape is dotted with thousands of “nuraghi” – ruins of mysterious Bronze-age stone structures shaped like beehives.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sardinia is the second island in the Mediterranean sea. Because of its geographic position in the middle of the Mediterranean sea and its resources, especially the mining resources, Sardinia has always represented the colonizers' destination. Sardinia is a very ancient island rich in history and legends and everywhere there are traces of human settlements dated from the Neolithic Age. The climate allows to have a very long summer season, from April to November. Sardinia is politically divided into 4 provinces; Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano and Sassari.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;">(source:Google)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">My trip started in the lovely old town of Alghero, one of Sardinia's most beautiful medieval cities. The Catalan influence is huge owing to the arrival of Catalan colonists back in the 1300's. Today, Catalan remains the official language of Alghero, alongside Italian, making it unique to anywhere else in Italy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">After a very rocky start; our hire car broke down just 16km from Olbia airport and we had to wait nearly 2 hours in the blistering sun until we could be towed back to the airport for a new car! With that behind us we drove through torrential rain and thunder storms with lightning appearing to strike the road before us, finally reaching our first stop the <a href="http://www.algheroresort.it/" target="_blank">Alghero Resort Country Hotel</a>. What a gem, a real oasis in a hot, desert like landscape and only a few miles from Alghero city centre.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">And then the sun appeared....</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our plans to explore that afternoon were scuppered by two 10 year olds wanting to dive straight in to the cool pool... With temperatures in the high 30's and being hot and bothered from our little breakdown, the only thing for us to do was to join them.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That evening, we joined other guests on the terrace for a BBQ of local meats, including pork and sausages, and accompanied by a beautiful aubergine parmigiana and mixed salads.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The exploring could start tomorrow!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bags packed, we headed out to the nearby beach of Porto Ferro. Not the best beach apparently because "the sea wasn't the colour of the sky" but we thought it came pretty close. After driving through Alghero's coastline we'd passed a few beaches that were just too crowded for our liking so were pretty pleased with our choice when we were met with a vast expanse of deserted fine sand and crystal clear seas. There's a great little beach bar at one end serving freshly made hot sandwiches and pizza. I'd recommend walking along the shoreline though as the sand is pretty HOT!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After lunch, we left Porto Ferro for the coastal drive from Alghero to Bosa, said to resemble the pacific coastal highway in California. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Bosa is a unique unspoilt town just 40km south of Alghero, boasting a beautiful and wild countryside, stunning beaches and coastline. The historic town centre is an intriguing maze of medieval streets, stone staircases, gracious palazzos and terraced houses painted in bright colours, all nestled under the hilltop Malaspina castle.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day we were up bright and early for a day on the sea with the fantastic <a href="http://www.ajsailing.com/" target="_blank">Andrea Jensen</a>, a traditional wooden sailing boat. It is run by a British couple who now reside near Bosa, and spend half their time sailing the crystal seas. This will probably be remembered as the best day of our holiday. The crew, Geoff, Vivien, Tim and Juliano were fantastic, allowing the children to take turns in skippering the craft.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Leaving Alghero behind, we sailed past the dramatic coastline towards Fertilia. After some time, I lost track, we set anchor down in a small bay, were kitted out with snorkels and explored the warm sea... Lunch was a delicious salad of mozzarella and tomato with a selection of meat, followed by pesto pasta, fresh bread and sea air. There were also juicy melon slices for the adults and ice-cream for the children. Throughout the day we were provided with fresh fruit, cold water and the odd cheeky beer!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A pincho or pintxo (coming from the verb 'pinchar', meaning to pierce) is a small snack, typically eaten in bars in Northern Spain and especially popular in the Basque country. Traditionally pierced with a cocktail stick, to attach it to the piece of bread that they invariably come attached to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of my favourites is the most simple - griddled and charred bread, a ciabatta works well, rubbed with a cut garlic clove and then a cherry tomato or tomato pulp, add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Delicious!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On top of this, you can add a thin slice of manchego and some serrano ham, piercing with your cocktail stick to keep it all in place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Alternatively, stick a slice of goats cheese on the bread and grill for a few minutes with some halved figs, topping the cheese with the figs and a drizzle of oil and balsamic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vary the toppings, fish works well, particularly grilled sardines and prawns. Or try quince, ham and blue cheese, or pork with apple and bean puree.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also like to serve up a selection of cured meats; here we have jamon iberico, serrano and salchichon sausage dressed with roasted red peppers and rocket. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gambas pil pil - juicy shell on king prawns with garlic, chilli and paprika. These are divine and I'd happily scoff a whole bowl to myself with just a hunk of bread to mop up the juices. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And so to the main event - I love a mixed paella, I often say I'll try and vary it one time, maybe just shellfish, maybe vegetables and chorizo, but why when you can have the whole caboodle!? This version has chicken thighs (more traditionally rabbit but not so easy to get hold of here); chorizo which oozes its spicy juices in to the oil; prawns, the larger and juicier the better; mussels, again, shell on is preferred; squid, freshly prepared and sliced (including heads of course). Finally, to that is added roasted red peppers, french beans or broad beans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, I'm not going to finish there, you have to leave room for dessert of course!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My absolute favourite is a crema catalana, Spain's answer to the French Creme Brulee. The cream is infused with vanilla, cinnamon and (my choice) orange peel, but you can use lemon also. Cornflour is used to thicken then it's left to set in the fridge. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on the top and torch it (or grill if you don't have a cook's blowtorch).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another choice is this gorgeous tarta de santiago. It is an almond cake originating from Galicia, flavoured with orange and lemon. Wonderfully light and moist, perfect with a cafe con leche!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was recently sent this lovely hamper full of baking goodies from <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/" target="_blank">Aldi</a> and invited to join their <b><i>Best Budget Bake</i></b> blogger challenge. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Amongst the items were a square baking tin (£1.99), a set of slimline electronic scales (£6.99), a measuring jug with built in scales (£6.99), a silicone castle cake mould (£3.49 - other fun shapes available), a cake carrier (£4.99), bamboo spoon (£1.99) and a pretty heart apron (£2.99).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These, and many more items from the <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sun-15-mar/" target="_blank">Aldi</a> Specialbuys Home Baking Range will be available in store from Sunday 15th March.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a frequent baker of cupcakes I was happy to receive a baking tin so straight away thought of brownies... I love brownies and do make them quite often but this time I wanted to play around with flavours a little and create something different. A recipe I have baked on a few occasions is a cheesecake brownie. This has a cheesecake mix swirled into the brownie mix before baking. But what if I separated the two, deconstructed if you like, and instead of a biscuit base used a brownie base for the cheesecake. I'm happy to report that the result is 'EPIC' (as quoted by my 9 year old). The combination of chocolate and lime (remember the pale green hard candies with the soft centre) already works really well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The cheesecake element uses sweetened condensed milk with the soft cheese, as is used in the American Key Lime Pie. When I make a baked cheesecake (as with the New York kind) I'd normally use soured cream. You can see I use full fat soft cheese in the recipe, I have tried the lighter versions but find that the water content is too high and therefore makes your mixture quite wet and harder to set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, onto the baking... the only ingredient that wasn't available in <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/" target="_blank">Aldi</a> was the condensed milk so had to pop over the road to another store to purchase this. This will be available as of Sunday 15th March as part of the <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sun-15-mar/" target="_blank">Aldi SpecialBuys</a>! Everything else you see below was bought from <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/" target="_blank">Aldi</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/" target="_blank">Aldi</a>'s slim line scales for measuring my ingredients, These are lovely and simple to use, one press of the mode button switches between measuring dry ingredients in grams, liquid in ml. You can also switch the unit to ounces which is handy for me, as I use a lot of American recipes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recipe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Chocolate Brownie base</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">200g dark chocolate, chopped (69 for 150g)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">175g unsalted butter (89p for 250g)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">325g caster sugar (89p for 1kg)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">130g plain flour (45p for 1.5kg)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3 large free range eggs (95p for 6)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cheesecake mixture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">800g full fat cream cheese (49p for 200g)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">397g can condensed milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3 large free range eggs (95p for 6)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zest and juice of 3 limes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Handful of chocolate curls and fresh lime zest to decorate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Method</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Line a deep 33 x 23cm baking tray with greaseproof paper</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 170 (fan)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Melt the chocolate and butter together, either in the microwave for a few seconds at a time or in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Remove from the heat and add sugar, mixing well, Add the flour and stir until few lumps remain. Then add the eggs and mix until smooth.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spoon the mixture in to the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, combine all ingredients together for the cheesecake mixture and whisk until smooth.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pour into the prepared pan on top of the brownie. Reduce the temperature to 160 and bake for 40-50 minutes until set. (don't be concerned about the baking time for the brownie, as you can see from the picture it still remains really gooey and delicious)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sprinkle with chocolate curls and more grated lime zest to serve.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Chill thoroughly, keep refrigerated.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After several failed attempts, be it down to arriving just as the kitchen was closing, or the restaurant being full, we finally managed to get a seat in Pitt Cue Co. in Soho. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was worth the wait.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The restaurant has an unassuming façade, no flashy signs, you could easily walk by if you didn't know it was there. They also take no reservations! This isn't (as they say) that they are trying to be cool but simply because with only 30 seats it is the fairest system that you get in on a first come first served basis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On this day, that made me happy as we were able to perch at the bar upstairs and excitedly order our plate of meat!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Not really knowing what we'd get we ordered a side of loaded skins. They were not what we expected for skins and were kind of deconstructed... creamy mash layer on the bottom, oh so crispy fried potato skin layer piled high with more delicious pulled pork and a slightly spicy carrot and chive garnish.
