ALMOND-CRISPED NECTARINES

Soft, warm, creamy, sweet-sour nectarines, topped with an almond-sweet crunch, accompanied by a dollop of sweetened Greek yogurt or Crème Fraîche to add some tartness, a dollop of whipped cream, or a spoonful of vanilla ice cream, if you like it sweet. I need nothing with mine. Easy and fast to put together, and handy if you have nectarines in need to be used up, but with an incredible WOW factor - the perfect summer pudding. 

KUMATO TOMATO, ANCHOVIES AND FETA SALAD

Pungent, tasty, meaty anchovies, paired with salty, tangy, soft Feta cheese, on a bed of sweet, juicy and crunchy tomatoes, flavoured with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a dusting of oregano. The simplest of salads, put together in literally minutes, but full of flavour, colour and texture. I used Kumato tomatoes, not just for their flavour and texture, but also their red-brown-green colour that makes the dish look more interesting, I think.
