There is a restaurant in London that I love called Noble Rot (there are three locations). I have been there for dinner a few times and love the creative food. I didn’t know they served lunch until one day I was in the area looking for another restaurant which turned out to be closed. Walking back up the street, I fell over.

The minute she put this on her table, I knew I would copy … [Read more...] about Hummus Platter with Spice Roasted Vegetables
Fresh Peach Whirlygigs
Whirlygigs – such a fun twist to an old-fashioned biscuit cobbler. Sweet summer peaches are topped with biscuit dough cinnamon rolls and baked into a juicy, fruity delight delight. This dish is extra - in season fresh peaches pair so well with cinnamon, and as I love a peach cobbler I just had to take it over the top. Fun to say and fun to eat! I think of this dish … [Read more...] about Fresh Peach Whirlygigs
