Weekly Love: the one where summer came to an end
1. An end-of-summer vegan showstopper you all seem to be loving from One Pan Pescatarian (ad) right now: my Easy Ratatouille Spiral on pg 142.| 2. Another favourite from BBC Food (that was meant to go in One Pan but I did not get the recipe finished in time): my Korean Kimchee Pancake, served with a tangy dipping sauce. | 3. An Instagram-only lunch recipe that has also been super popular this week, my Grilled Nectarine, Halloumi & Prosciutto Salad with Elderflower Dressing. Get the recipe here! | 4. Discovering lots of new rural walks around the house including one with the best blackberries, elderflower and sloes. | 5. Brunch goals from One Pan: Cacio e Pepe Eggy Bread Crumpets (pg 58). | 6. Whipping up one of my all time favourite family recipes with the leftovers from our roast chicken (including the slow cooker stock): Leftover Roast Chicken Pie (find the recipe in my first book, Student Eats! #ad)

I’m planning a quiet one, trying to finish getting the house sorted out, and doing lots and lots of reading ahead of putting together my post of all my favourite summer reads this week (you can find the list of every brilliant book I read in spring here, and follow along with my book recommendations over on my bookstagram).
