Pasta E Fagioli

Pasta E Fagioli is one of my favorite ways to make pasta. The beauty of this dish is that you can make the "puréed sauce" in the morning and then add the broth and pasta to it later. I love things that you can do ahead. Crusty bread is mandatory for this meal - I mean if you're gonna carb load, do it properly!

Hob Nobs, Greek Yogurt, Almonds & Honey

A wonderful dessert that is light and fresh and yet rich, sweet and satisfying. It is so simple: four ingredients whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Basically, it is a “pudding” of Greek yoghurt spooned onto a bed of crumbles Hob Nob biscuits, drizzled with honey and topped off with a handful of toasted, sliced almonds.
