Well, August seems to be the month of illness for me. I’m not used to being ill and I’m not used to sitting still and doing nothing. I’ve really had to slow down and make sure I look after myself so that when I work, I give 100%.
This time, instead of trying a recipe I found online, I revisited my notes from Philleigh Way Cookery School to make some focaccia. Philleigh Way is a wonderful cookery school run by Rupert Cooper, a former rugby player and a great guy. A few years ago, I booked a cookery lesson for a birthday, during which I received this recipe from him. Since it’s his recipe, I’ve chosen not to publish a step-by-step guide. However, if you’re near Cornwall or Truro, I highly recommend trying it out.
The bread is addictive and easy to make. The rosemary gives it that pleasant fragrance as you bite into it.
Depending on my busyness, I will either write a new article or recycle a previous one with some comments on changes.May you all have a good start to the new week.
