Thyme Fig, Gorgonzola + Parma Ham Shards Crostini |thefoodiesway.co.uk These little mouthfuls of deliciousness were also made for the Macmillan shoot the weekend before last. Each little crostini is spread generously with gorgonzola, topped with a beautiful, thyme-infused fig, crowned with a crispy parma ham shard, and finished off with a sprinkle of thyme leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

An Italian Feast Part 1: Figs Stuffed With Herb Ricotta

August 1, 2014 by thefoodie 1 Comment

Figs Stuffed With Herb Ricotta|thefoodiesway.co.uk Life on the farm is good.

The sun is still shining every day and I can’t get enough of this alfresco dining. And from a cuisine point of view, we now move promptly on from Gambia to Italy (well, why not?!)

Amy and Andrew share my love of Italian cooking and let me in on their favourite Italian cook book: Gino’s Italian Escape. Not only is Gino D’Acampo rather appealing, but so are his timeless Italian recipes. Gino is a man of my own heart, sharing recipes that are ‘simplicity itself’ containing ‘fresh, top quality seasonal ingredients cooked simply to allow the flavours to speak for themselves.’ Italian cuisine also speaks to me in that family is at the centre of every meal, along of course, with good wine.

Spring Salad| thefoodiesway.co.uk

Spring salad!

Showcasing one of nature’s best at this time of year and also a personal favourite of mine: tender, crisp, green British asparagus.

This salad was designed with spring in mind; tender, chargrilled asparagus coupled with creamy goat’s cheese and salty parma ham – pure flavour bliss! When spring arrives and summer beckons I am all about the salad. I’m not just talking about a few leaves and token cucumber and tomatoes here, I’m talking about the kinda salad that set your tastebuds alight with bursting, zingy, mingling flavours. The sort of salad that makes you feel like you are eating actual spring on a plate in all its wholesome goodness, if you know what I mean?!…
