simple caprese salad.

a trio of red, green and white dancing on the plate, this salad is a celebration of italian colours and flavours. keeping it fresh and simple is a must with this recipe, i just couldn't wait to share with you the brilliant italian produce from nife is life which i used to create it. 

tomato and basil tear 'n' share bread.

so tomato and basil tear and share bread. actually, my first ever attempt at making bread at all. i stuck to the below recipe except for taking it out two minutes early and grating parmesan over the top. delicious, indulgent and... easy! let me know if you have any other great tear 'n' share bread recipes - this book which i was sent by bakingmad.com is absolutely brilliant!
