Orto di Casa Cecconi

My first allotment, and then one thing leading to another…

A little enthusiasm…

… came back yesterday when I cooked Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino with my own garlic and chilli, and tonight I’m having three roasted veg, two of which are my own: potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes.

It feels good to cook with my own produce – so much so that I do not seem to feel the frustration of wilted, frostbitten and otherwise dead crops, the pests and crappy weather at the wrong time so much right now…
