I love, love, love pepper.   (I carry a pepper grinder in my purse) So this way of preparing steak is one of my favourites. Lots of coarsely cracked or ground black pepper and a sauce  made with green peppercorns. It is actually a very easy dinner to put together.   It took longer to cook…

I haven’t baked bread all summer.   So Monday morning I mixed up a Biga.  Monday night before bed, I kneaded up a double batch of bread dough.   It was late so the dough went  directly into  the fridge.  Tuesday morning, I knocked it down and then left it for about  4 hours so that…

It was cooked on the grill over indirect heat.   Just big enough for two thick slices. Served with little baked potatoes and  a…

We started the evening with Mumm Champagne.   This is the wine that we served at our wedding 32 years ago and we have continued the tradition. First course was a Tex-Mex Prawn and Avocado Cocktail.   This was so good that it ended up being our main course. Very simple.  Kind of like a Tex-Mex Gazpacho….
