SALMON FILLETS WITH FENNEL AND DILL

This is an extremely simple second course, all it is is a salmon fillet coated with parsley and fennel seeds and dill seeds.

All you have to do is put it in a hot oven ( 200° c) for 10 to 15 minutes . . . and dinner is ready !!

SHEPPARD'S PIE

This is my version – it probably is not the real recipe but this is what I like to call it!!

What I do is cook a fair amount of ground beef and dress it with a few herbs and spices, then I spread it on the bottom of an oven dish. I prepare some nice and rich mashed potatoes and spread them on top of the ground meat.

The ingredients here are ground beef (fresh) potatoes, onion, oil, parsley, milk, butter, spices (not hot)

LEEK AND POTATO SOUP

This is a classic – a nice creamy soup made with leeks and potato, a little bit of milk and a little bit of tyme.

Simple and warm, because it is a soup it will be delivered in a zip lock bag and you can pour it in a pot and heat it, maybe eat it with some croutons or just toast and butter . . . . mmmmm I can hardly wait to have it for dinner on Friday !!

A bag for 4 will be 8 Euro

"WINTER" PASTA AL FORNO

Tasty and comforting flavors that will blend together and make you feel loved !

This dish is made with short pasta like fusilli dressed with different vegetables like cawly flower and cabbage and leeks, with a little bit of crunchy pancetta to make it even more tasty . . . . all kept together with creamy white sauce . .. . yum !!

All you need to do is put the dish in a hot oven covered for 10 minutes and uncovered for an other 10 minutes or until it is nice and browned and crunchy on top.

A dish for 4 will be 20 Euro

PAPPA AL POMODORO

A local dish that is made with bread, tomato, garlic and olive oil. This is a great dish for children of all ages . . . . it is also good for school lunches as it is not bad at room temp also!!

The ingredients are Olive Oil, tuscan bread, tomato sauce garlic and salt – you may add red pepper to your dish if you like – I make it without because it is easyer to add it if you want it than to take it out if you don’t!

To heat up the pappa just put it in a pot over medium low heat, add a little bit of warm water or broth so that it will soften up and you can make it as solid or liquid as you prefer.

Drizzle some oil on top before you serve.

A dish for 4 will be 8 Euro.
