Recipe Box: Spinach Lasagne

Hello again!

I still have no internet access at home but plodding on anyway. I do miss it so!

The cold has started to truly set in and Autumn is here, I am loving it :) Any excuse to wrap up and eat comfort food ;)

I finally got stuck into one of the many recipes I've been patiently waiting to try from a very special book I read earlier this year. This lasagne was so simple to make and perfect for a night in when it's pouring buckets outside. My man even loved it and asked for seconds even though he's not a big fan of melted cheese or spinach, though lucky for me he's willing to try anything I cook up. No regrets this time!

You can find the original recipe online here but I can't recommend reading the entire book enough.

If, like me, you're not used to dealing with cups, oz and lbs, these are the measurements of the ingredients I used. They may not be particularly accurate conversions but they worked out fine :)

• 200g lasagne sheets ( I couldn't find noodles in my store but these worked just as well).
• 200g chopped spinach.
• 500g tomato sauce.
• 250g fresh ricotta.
• 250g mozzarella.

Enjoy!!

Books I Love: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

Hello!

In amongst the frantic flat hunting and working some crazy hours, I've managed to indulge myself in one of my favourite hobbies, reading. Ok, by indulging I mean using my train commute and time while waiting for estate agents... I have been using these little quiet moments to briefly lose myself in an incredible book. It is written by the wonderfully inspiring Barbara Kingsolver and her family and is not only the story of their year of eating only locally-produced food (most of which is grown and raised by their own hand) but it is also jam-packed with seasonal recipes and information about the food industry. It really is eye-opening and made me feel a new respect for farmers and their way of living. It's a perfect balance of adorable family tales with hard-hitting facts. I'm now craving some garden space ;) Imagine being able to grow your own salad, freshly picking it for dinner... yum! I'm looking forward to trying out some of the recipes too :) I'll let you know how I get on!
