I adore a plain, beautifully cooked and seasoned omelette. At most with a few chopped herbs but cooked on its own is fine. Served with a green salad - something like fresh little gem lettuce leaves or pea shoots - dressed lightly with lemon and olive oil.

Tomatoes, garlic, balsamic and olive oil. Roasted. I think I could live on that, with a loaf of bread to mop up the divine juices.

Scrambled eggs on sourdough toast.

They have to be cooked with butter and taken off the heat before they’re ready as they continue to cook for a while.

Also, pasta with homemade tomato sauce with tomato’s from the garden.

Cabbage or broccoli, stir fried with garlic and bacon and either dressed with mayo or made with sauce by stirring cream and parmesan through it.

Moroccan style fries which used to be on the menu at a local pub & I would kill to get them back - lamb, red onion, melted cheese & if I remember some sort of light yogurty dressing. Just delicious!

Cuppy eggs. 2 x soft boiled eggs…mashed up in a mug, with a generous dollop of butter and a good sprinkling of salt. All mixed up, with hot buttered toast to dip in. Perfection!

Also love pasta pesto bacon / good carbonara - great comfort food.

Scrambled eggs on toast with truffle oil! So yummy!

A whole roasted garlic bulb, bread, oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping.

Starting to feel hungry now….
