22 December - caprese salad and smoked haddock chowder

Although I love salads through the summer months, I generally want something warm at this time of year. Today, I compromised by combining a simple Caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil) with a little pile of saute potatoes. Chips and salad - mmm, can't beat it!

I was watching Nigel Slater's Simple Christmas last night and was quite inspired by several of the recipes. Tonight, I made up some smoked haddock chowder roughly based on his recipe. I missed out the swede, cauliflower and mussels and added some new potatoes and a bit of leftover sweetcorn. It came out as a very chunky stew rather than a soup, but tasty.
