Simple meals

November has been a wonderful month of warmth and just enough rain so the gardens and parks are so green and lush. It is a busy time of year if you are a gardener with summer plantings while keeping on top of the weeds. It is also a time of year with much anticipation for the season of abundance soon to arrive.

The fruit trees have set fruit, the berry vines have small green buds, and the tomatoes and cucumber are flowering. It won’t be long now until the fruit bowl and kitchen bench will be laden with the fruits of summer. For now, I make the most of flavourful dried herbs and sun-dried tomatoes to bring all the flavour.
