This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Panini al latte (milk buns)
www.theguardian.com/food/2018/no...
Superb! Easy to make & beautifully soft inside with a sweet crisp top. Split & filled with delicious Baron Bigod cheese. Also had some filled with cherry jam. I'll make these again.

This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipe www.theguardian.com/food/2018/oc...
Chickpea and salt cod soup
Substituted the chickpeas with white beans and used hake as I could not find any salt cod. A really tasty and filling lunch - even though it's not Friday!

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Baked leek and egg gratin
www.theguardian.com/food/2025/oc...
An easy to make meal. I've never baked leeks before never mind as tree stumps! We had it with green salad topped with a vinegary pomegranate dressing. Delicious!

Dinner tonight, pasta e fagioli. I used fresh chilli instead of chilli flakes as I’ve got a lot of fresh chilli to use. Lovely, warming autumnal dish. Grazie @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social !

Spaghetti with tinned sardines, chilli and lemon, another joyous recipe from the wonderful @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social, was fantastically delicious and is going to be enjoyed regularly here from now on. Grazie mille Rachel

Dinner tonight : "Orzo" (or if you prefer "Risoni") with peas and chicken. Inspired by two @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipes - although I didn't have the complete ingredients for either and I also cheated by buying a Conad grilled chicken. A lovely, comforting and surprisingly quick dinner.
