Between 1979 and 1981 between university and travelling I spent a few months on and off waitressing in the newly opened Woods Restaurant in Bath . It quickly became one of Bath’s go to restaurants and local celebrities like Peter Gabriel were regular visitors. Its still going today and still fun by the lovely David and Claude. I must pop in and say hello one day!. While I was working there the chef was a woman called Sharon and this is one of her dishes that always impressed.
A recipe from Rachel Roddy, one of my favourite food writers. For variety you can replace the cheese with some hard boiled eggs, sausages or roasted red peppers.
A rich soup for autumn or winter from Nigel Slater which I found in ” Greenfeast:autumn,winter”. Serve with bread, either torn and placed in the base of the soup bowl, or toasted and dipped.
