Giveaway Winner

Above is the Fennel seed from our 'old' garden at the Vancouver house. It comes back every year and likes to self seed. I would be really happy to share some seeds with anyone who would like them. Plant these and you will never need to buy Fennel seeds again. I use them in place of Anise seeds in recipes. They have a nice licorice flavor. Just ask and I will pop some in an envelope and I will furnish the stamp, you have nothing to lose.

Roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic and basil

*
Ingredients -
Cherry tomatoes on the vine - as many as you want!

A clove or two of garlic

A glug of olive oil

Crushed sea salt

Crushed black pepper

Fresh basil

Chuck the cherry toms in an oven proof dish with a load of chopped garlic. Pour over the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put in the oven at 200.c until the tomatoes split. Once cooked, add a little chopped fresh basil and eat as part of a main course or on a sesame bagel or wherever you like! Yum! My favourite. I eat them with everything!

Thanks Kat and good luck.

Maureen is a busy lady helping her parents and giving her sister and extra hand with her three young boys.
Here is Maureen's email. - My father loves Gazpacho and this is actually the recipe he sent me to make for him. I have made others in the past but he wanted this recipe to be made.

Note: Daughter Kami has pointed out to me, first in the comments (didn't get it then) then on the phone, that the readers may not know if they need to take a picture of the recipe that they make or can it be from the web....It can be anything you want to do as long as I have a photo to go along with the recipe, I will even try to find one for you if need be. If you do use one other than your own please give credit. If anyone has any more questions please do not hesitate to ask.
