A Classic Meaty Lasagne (Using Home Made Ground Beef)

So as promised from my last post, this recipe - even though a known classic - shows one of the things that becomes of my Home Made Ground Meat. 

Lasagnes are always a favourite with me, but is even better if you take the time to "add some life" into one of the main key ingredients; in this case the meat. Apart from that the rest of this recipe is similar to your basic lasagnes, but for me this particular recipe has undergone various fine-tuning over time to arrive at. 

Here's looking at you fig:: Cheese stuffed Figs wrapped in Parma Ham on a bed of Rocket Salad.

'Tis the season of figs again, so I have decided to share my version of a classic and easy recipe that you may already be familiar with; and if you aren't then you have got to try this. With the different varieties of figs available, I use the Brown Turkey for this recipe simply because compared to the other varieties, it is not as robust in flavour thereby complimenting the Mozzarella and Parma Ham Riserva beautifully.

My Autumnal Recipe - Prawns and Shiitake Mushroom Risotto

I looooveee risotto!!!!! Did I mention that I love risotto? It is probably one of my favourite dishes. And that is really saying something considering that my relationship with my foods makes me an "in the moment kinda girl". Meaning that I have to eat what I crave, and not just whatever is available to eat. This can be such a pain because most of what I crave involves cooking; I am not sure if this is peculiar to me or if I am just high maintenance:-). Now cooking is one of my favourite things to do, but not when I am starving. Can be quite distracting. So with a risotto, I am guaranteed a wholesome and tasty meal at the appropriate time. The best thing though is the versatility of the ingredients that can be used such that it can be eaten throughout the year while making the best use of seasonal findings.

And now with summer gradually fading away for another year, my prawn and mushroom risotto comes to life (alot) in my kitchen. #Delizioso.
