Thanks for the seasonality guide for the UK. Just what I have been wanting!

Fuss Free Flavours is a new site to me and the pumpkin, tahini and lemon soup looks wonderful!

The rosemary and white bean dip is something I’d love to eat for breakfast too. Love the simplicity of the recipe. And you know… I’m pretty sure it was a recipe you made last year with rosemary and white beans that first led me to your site :)

I got a good chuckle out of that virtuosity chart! And I always enjoy your Quicklinks, Kathryn.

Jacqueline – I find these things really useful. A large portion of the reason I started compiling the regular Sydney update was for myself. To keep a track on the best produce to buy in any given month.

Cassie – I’ve been using the white bean and rosemary combination for a while. How lovely to know it was that which bought you to Limes & Lycopene. And more recently I’ve realised it goes really well with lentils. I’ve always associated rosemary with meat in the past, but love it’s flavour and aroma – so happy to be using. Fuss Free is new to me as well, but doesn’t the soup look good!

Thanks for the links Kathryn. I’ve bookmarked the white bean recipe for later as we always have lots and lots of beans in stock

Thanks for the mention Kathryn, the rest of the links look very intersting – I shall enjoy reading them. I have already read Sophie’s excellent muffin post twice!

I am having the soup again tonight!

Sophie – I made the white beans over the weekend. Went a little bit crazy with the garlic, but apart from that it’s wonderful. I like the idea Mark mentions, of tossing it through pasta. However, I mainly made it to have on toast, with slices of cucumber, for breakfast.

No problems Hippolyra – I’ve purchased a large piece of pumpkin to try out your soup this week. Am looking forward to it.

Kathryn! i’m so glad to read that there is someone else out there who eats cucumber slices on toast! i have been doing this for a few months now, on hummus or even vegemite and all my friends think i’m a weirdo but i love it :)

i must try the white bean dip, sounds lovely.

Lindsey – not sure about the vegemite and cucumber idea . . . but have no problems with cucumber on toast. Seems totally “normal” to me and just another way of getting a little more vegies into your day. While tomato would probably be considered more “normal”, they’re out of season, expensive and poor quality at the moment. Even more reason to use cucumber.

i’m not a big fan of raw tomatoes anyway so cucumber gets my vote. you’ll have to try Vegemite and cucumber together… or maybe Marmite instead? :)
