Last night we had oven-baked quarter pounder burgers (they are more succulent when cooked in the oven), with melted emmenthal cheese - on the side - a salad of rocket leaves and sliced tomatoes - with sour cream and chives. Pudding was strawberries and blueberries smothered in thick double (heavy) cream

The tomatoes we had were Italian Sanmarzano plum tomatoes, which I came across when I was food shopping yesterday - they are used in Italy for an authentic ragu sauce - and the Italians also eat grilled on ciabatta drizzled with olive oil. They were just as delicious though sliced and uncooked in our salad


Amylee, that molten chocolate cake on a bed of crème anglaise with strawberries sounds wonderful - could you supply the recipe for the cake please??
