At the weekend I got busy baking a loaf of courgette and mushroom bread. It was very tasty! I recommend it to anyone with a glut of courgettes. I only needed to add half of the amount of recommended water and needed quite a bit more flour whilst kneading. So you might wish to bear that in mind.

I adapted the this recipe because I didn’t have most of the ingredients but it turned out really well all the same.
I swapped out the flat breads for mini naans, the mozzarella for Philadelphia and the mint leaves were replaced by mint sauce.
We got a little eager and harvested our garlics too early because we had a couple showing signs of mould. Luckily only a few were affected so the survivors were hung up in the shed to dry out for a couple of weeks. Once they were all dry I plaited them together and here is the final product. Hopefully these will store well for the next few months.
I followed this recipe minus the broccoli to use up some of my recently picked courgettes, potatoes and beans.
Its the time of year when all the hard work starts to pay off. Below is our latest harvest.

There are plenty of broad beans to pick at the moment, so this time we tried a new recipe. Broad beans and mushrooms on toast.
