July 2022.

On a very hot Tuesday the Discovering Dishes group managed to put together a very tasty lunch. We made Roasted chickpea, peach and tomato salad and a rainbow salad with chicken followed by a delicious courgette and lime cake. The latter an excellent way of tackling that glut of courgettes you gardeners might have.
