Peas with Pancetta (6-8)

These vegetables from Nigella Lawson’s ” Nigellissima” could also be used as a sauce for pasta or in a pasta and vegetable soup if you have leftovers. You could leave out the bacon but if you do use a couple more tablespoons of garlic oil, and extra chopped shallot and some veg bouillon powder for more flavouring.

Flaounes (12 cakes)

These Cypriot Cheese Cakes are traditionally served at Easter though they are lovely all year round and make great picnic food. The recipe is from Gilli Davies’s ” The Taste of Cyprus”.
