Following my discovery of an amazing book on seasonal eating last weekend, I spent an educational, tiring, yet very enjoyable week trying to create a tasty meal each evening using only home-grown, seasonal produce. I tried to stick to locally sourced ingredients, where possible, and avoided using anything made, grown, reared outside of the UK. 

The result of working so hard to avoid the supermarkets, over-packaging and miles and miles of unnecessary transportation? A handful of lovely recipes to share on the Blog (after a week of silence - sorry regular readers!)... like this Summer Spaghetti, with bacon, British mushrooms and seasonal greens. 

With The Boy off sunning himself in France for a week without me, rather than crying into my tea and toast I decided to treat myself to a very indulgent breakfast to enjoy with some freshly brewed coffee. I awoke to a bright, sunny day, a tidy house, and a stack of magazines to catch up on. I'd also had the foresight to stock up on brioche, eggs, milk and créme fraîche on my way home from work the night before. My conclusion? Being home alone isn't all bad and such a beautiful day calls for Naughty French Toast for breakfast!
