Lemon and Bay Posset (4)

Now I have discovered how easy it is to make a posset there is no stopping me! This version is from Claire Thomson’s ” New Kitchen Basics” which i am gradually cooking my way through as the recipes are so good.

Soupe au Pistou (6-8)

I made this healthy and delicious soup during my week of cooking recipes from France. Traditionally three types of fresh white beans would be used along with the other vegetables. This recipe from Patricia Lousada uses dried haricot beans, but I substituted a tin of cannellini beans which was fine if not authentic. I also substituted Butternut squash for the broad beans and made the pistou using wild garlic leaves rather than basil. I think it is even better the next day.
