Chop chop Charlotte

I finished cooking an hour late this morning. Not sure what happened - perhaps I dallied too long over jointing my chicken. Ah well, it's only week two, plenty of time to speed up.

Here are some of the things I've made over the past few days.

Scones and rasperry jam

Little lemony fork biscuits...

which turn out like this:

A mushroom and thyme tart

- not bad, but my tart case lining needs a bit of work

Fruit salad with geranium leaf syrup

Goat's cheese, honey and rocket salad

- a tricky one to balls up

Brown soda bread

Wild garlic pesto (very nice, if I do say so myself)

And creme caramel - not a patch on my pa's
