Priceless Paintings from W7

This week, I’ve been mostly eating at last Saturday’s brunch party here at our house. Maybe I should say that this week I’ve been mostly cooking for last Saturday’s brunch party, but that wouldn’t be true. Anyway, here goes:

A slightly bland mushroom and spinach quiche – kept on low salt on account of the children present.

A lovely although slightly runny Quiche Lorraine – runny on account of my inability to count eggs.

A nice and juicy smoked salmon and grilled artichoke quiche – always popular both with the cook (really is no effort at all) and guests (is really nice).

An oxtail soup – always, always, always, the best way to line a stomach. Sherry optional for the grown-ups.

A late summer vegetables soup.

Fresh bread and focaccia.

An experimental sunken apple cake – too soft (too much milk in the dough, so the apples had sunken too deep) but nice and flavoursome. No surprise there; I had coated the apple slices in honey and lime juice, which I infused with star anise (Needs more star anise though).
