I used a pre-rolled pack of supermarket puff pastry, but you can make your own, though it's a bit of a faff, and there are some good vegan puff pastry recipes.

1 sheet puff pastry
4 large tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon soya cream
oregano
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C.


2. Place the rolled out sheet of pastry on to a baking sheet, or better still, to get really even cooking and a nice crispy base, use one of those wire ones sold to cook oven chips on.


3. Brush the surface with cream up to 1 cm from the edge.


4. Sprinkle the cream with oregano.


5. Lay the slices tomatoes over the cream to just cover the pastry.


6. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the tomatoes, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper (I use sea salt and black pepper)


7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.


8. Cool on a wire rack so that the base stays crispy.


9. Transfer to a plate when cool, cut up with a pizza wheel.


10. Chomp, enjoy the taste and the juices running down your chin.

PS I do have knitting content to blog, honest.....

100g plain white flour
100g wholemeal self raising flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
45g golden caster sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 mashed ripe bananas
4 heaped tablespoons apple stewed with cinnamon
Oat milk
Few drops rice vinegar

1. Mix dry ingredients together.
2. Add banana, apple and enough oat milk to make a loose batter.
3. Add few drops rice vinegar.
4. Mix lightly with a wooden spoon, just until the dry ingredients are wet.
5. I put mine into 6 large muffin tins lined with baking parchment.
6. Bake for 35 mins.
7. Cool.
8. Eat.
9. Enjoy.

1. Saute onion in oil gently until soft.
2. Add celeriac, apple, stock and sage.
3. Simmer for 20 minutes or until celeriac is cooked.
4. Turn out heat.
5. Blitz until smooth.
6. Add cream, and salt & pepper to taste.

This is a sweet comforting winter soup, guaranteed to lift a jaded spirit.

I love a bit of evil knitwear and crochet in a music video.

Here he is, after having tasted the catnip snacks (thanks Tibbsy, he thought they were amazing), and the smelly cheese paste (he loved this Morris), investigating the moulded cheese and cat snack mouse (made by Pat). He was literally drooling as he licked the mousie.

He got more parcels this week than I did..... You are all very generous and Greebo says Thank You to all of you. He says he feels humbled by your kindness.

A mashup of Jared Flood's Tweed Baby Blanket and Ysolda's Hap Blanket. Greebo loves it.

The amazing Cinema Paradiso, even though cold, everyone cheered and waved everytime a train went over the viaduct. Lovely.

Kate Winslet entrancing adults and children alike.

Suggs. FACT.

My summary of #porteliotfest: delightfully familiar, juxtaposed with superbly sublime, augmented with large dash of stupendously surprising.
