What a crazy coupla weeks! Our little function went perfectly. ‘Our’ menu was a huge success. Thanks for the inspiration. A huge thanks for helping to organise some glorious weather for us. Alas, no photos. This Fraser aint a Phraser, if you know what I mean!! X

Thank YOU for your response! Hmmm something is going on with my email as I normally get notified when people leave comments and I didn’t get a notification for this comment… I was just checking myself and saw it – lucky I checked! Anyway, good on you for putting together what sounds like a beautiful feast – would love to see a pic! I will send “good weather vibes” your way and cross my fingers and toes! Thanks for your readership it is greatly valued!

Thanks for the reply! I have an unholy appreciation for minestrone. It’s my go to soup. I think that your fakes may have usurped it. So good. On my second bowl now (I need the protein!!) Seriously, thanks for the response. You made my day. I’ve been visiting a bit of late. My husband and I are catering my SIL’s 40th on Sat. It’s for around 80pax. We’re hqving some beautiful greek style lamb on the spit ( loved your poem btw!) Also am pinching your tabouleh and tzatziki. Hope you you don’t mind too much?! Naturally, all complementers will be sent straight over here! So, you’ve supplied the recipes, if you could just see to the weather? X

So pleased!! Thanks for making it. Honestly, this is one of my favourite things to eat EVER but it’s so….well, so ugly! I am so glad it’s appearance did not put you off! I also ate like a monster over the long weekend so I should be making this myself right about now! :) Phoodie

Oh. Phoodie. This is delicious. After a pretty indulgent long weekend, my body has been begging for some respite. I thought you would have exactly what required. This soup is amazing. I didn’t have any cinnamon quills, so I just chucked in a pinch of it. Just that hint of flavour is is perfect. What really makes it though, is the vinegar. It really does 5ake it to the next level. Unbelievable. My body thanks you!!
