So nice to hear from you. I know what you mean, sometimes it can be very difficult to find the right ingredients to re-create what you find so inspiring in books/on TV. I'm also in SE London (Blackheath) and find that my best bet is the farmer's market. I also do weekly shopping at the supermarket but try not to buy to much produce there, because as you say it's mainly foreign. (I sometimes think that people "spying" on my shopping cart must think I eat no vegetables at all!) My approach is to err heavily on seasonal- even supermarkets will have UK strawberries, rhubarb and spring greens right now. Soon they'll have lots of nice local apples, too. In the winter, I eat lots of leeks (love them!), broccoli and carrots. Obviously, if there's stuff that's NEVER going to be "in season" here then I have no problem buying imported (bananas, for instance). It's often somewhat of a trade-off, and I don't try to be a saint! Caroline, hi! So nice to hear from you.

I work from home in a glorified shed at the bottom of my garden in S.E. London and spend a lot of time resisting the urge to wander in to the house and flick through a cookbook instead of knuckling down. Feeling very excited by your recipes and your approach to cooking but also frustrated that living in a less well off area it's difficult to walk round the corner and find decent produce. Every apple in my local Sainsbury's is flown in from Chile or S. Africa! Any suggestions on where to shop? cheers Caroline Hi Ele,

Funny - I woke up with that same throat thing today, too....oh well. Guess its time for some Lazy Bread.

Great--thanks for the recipe. :) I have been trying the no-knead bread and it's been going rather well so far. It's so easy as well. Hey, this does look really tasty and very, very easy.
