I love reading your piece. I was salivating when you described the simple fish dish (I will definitely give this recipe a try!) and laughed so hard with the pudding analogy. Sorry to hear about the dull chocolate and chestnut cake!
Thank you for sharing these entertaining and enlightening anecdotes. They are a delight to read. Your recipes for the fish on a bed of mustard slaw and the grilled pumpkin with whipped cream cheese and hazelnuts sound both delectable and manageable.
Loved this post DD and as a fish lover will definitely try this. I had never thought of having fish with slaw - another of my favourites - so I will add white cabbage to my online shop for next week. Enjoy Italy - it must be warmer (and drier than here in the UK?)
Thank you! No – I had never thought of having fish with slaw before either. Or put hot fish on top of cold vegetables! I spend my life making up slaws – they are a real favourite for me too – but they are usually more complicated!
It has been warmer but there's plenty of rain, and it's currently 11º..
Highly recommend following the annual Fat Bear Contest held by the Katmai, Alaska, wildlife preserve. It’s two or three weeks in the early autumn (has already wrapped up this year) where you can pick a bear that you think can get the fatest for winter. I haven’t seen actual wagering, but would advise against it if there is, since this event is closely followed by keen bear-spotters. It’s a unique way to celebrate ursine body positivity!
I couldn’t tell if the slaw was senza mayo and just oil mustard and salt. Or the two tsp. was of mayo. Been eating a lot of slaw without mayo recently with a small amount of shredded carrot,(or not) harissa, cumin and thyme, plus olive oil and rice vinegar. The Mexican restaurants here all have a version of that. Lasts for forever and is a handy excuse for a salad. Thanks for the recipes . Always delicious.
Hello – I love your recommendation for slaw – it sounds delicious! Will start experimenting immediately! Mine was with mayo, but would be equally good without – but would need oil and vinegar as well as the mustard. Sorry I didn't make it clear – it was more the idea of a very simple main course than an actual recipe!

I love this idea! If I'd been a bear I would have been an excellent choice in the contest!
