May try that soon.

Gloria – Totally agree! :)

Then my second thought was: Mmm, lamb would be nice in this.
I know what you mean about taking pictures so winter dishes look alluring, though I’m afraid I haven’t cracked it for summer time either so I’m really up against it during the winter. :)

That won’t change before mid-february now. Other than the obvious energy issues, the photo problem is nagging me too!
At first I wasn’t impressed by the book (many of the recipes were versions of dishes I already know) but it’s definitely growing on me.

I’m slightly put out by the fact you have identified my photography trick mind – taking a picture of the ingredient definitely saves the pressure to get a nice picture of the finished dish later :-) Mind you, even doing that is getting harder at the moment though, it’s just so dark!

I was recently given a copy of Jill’s book and was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t expect to like it but there are some good ideas in there and I like her unpatronising tone (I’ve read loads of ‘healthy eating’ books and some of them are really hard work!). Haven’t had it long so the only recipe I’ve tried is the keema which was delicious.

Holler – Hope you enjoy it!

I can’t believe that it blew up on you! Can you imagine going into casualty and trying to explain that?
I will definitely have a go at this one, it is my knid of curry! In fact I think I might phone Graham and ask him to pick up an aubergine on the way home! I have some mushrooms to use up too!

But your aubergine curry looks and sounds lovely, perfect for a winter’s day.

But it’s not from my garden either! Had no luck in growing it outside the greenhouse.

Carolyn – I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face. It was only later I thought about how it could have been dangerous. :-S

Deb – Thanks! Think one problem is I’m not home during daylight during the winter. Have to rely on artificial light.

Kathryn – I was a little disappointed with the book on first glance but the more I look at it the more ideas I get. Perhaps I was expecting something totally different. It’s not, but it does have some lovely recipes.

Lucy – Wear protective clothing!!!!!

Anh – I can be fussy with aubergine perhaps because it tends to soak up lots of oil. The roasting method is my favourite!
