I went to the local vege market over the weekend and admired the piles of field mushrooms, root vegetables, feijoas, new-season apples and kiwifruit. And we were lucky enough to have three separate gatherings over the weekend- so all in all, I've probably eaten a bit too much. How lucky we are to live this life.

Among the various dishes I've been making for the family lately, soup has made a comeback. Today I made a lentil-vegetable soup (not so photogenic but warming and hearty), and a tomato soup- this old favourite blogged about a few years ago. Also, roasted beetroot (so thrilled to be able to harvest our own this autumn) and feijoa tart/pie. The tart was made from this recipe, which is a favourite around here because it produces enough for two tarts at a time: one for afternoon tea with friends (with blueberries + pears), and one for the lunchboxes the next day (feijoa and green apple).

What are you cooking or eating these days?

    Your tart looks good! Cooking lots of root veggies here at the moment. Heartier foods, but still a few salads as well 🙂
