However this week I bucked the trend and had lots of friends over for dinner. In my mind it&#8217;s the best way to be sociable in the colder months and it also means you get to try out new things. I have recently discovered a great Mediterranean Deli 5 mins walk from my house, and last night went and explored the shelves. I came back with Wasabi Peas, Turkish Delight and actual proper Bon Maman Fig Jam (which you can&#8217;t seem to get anywhere in this country). Suffice to say I was very happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">With the snow supposedly landing over the weekend (in fact I have just looked out of my window to see it falling thick and fast), I have decided it&#8217;s the perfect weekend to spend time trying out some new recipes. Consequently I have been absorbed in cook books and food blogs all week building up some things I want to make. So I thought I would share what I found with you. I hope you all have wonderful weekends and manage to get in the kitchen to whip up something delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Here is what&#8217;s on my list:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">I have some leftover pastry lurking around in my fridge and now <a href=\"http:\/\/mimithorisson.com\/2013\/01\/16\/winter-vegetable-tartlets\/\" target=\"_blank\">I know just what to do with it.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">I can&#8217;t wait to try this delicious looking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cannellevanille.com\/uncategorized\/chocolate-and-chestnut-cake-and-a-year-in-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chocolate and Chestnut Cake <\/a>\u2013 Yummy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">I am currently obsessing over Cauliflower and am keen to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loveandlemons.com\/2013\/01\/16\/cauliflower-pasta\/\" target=\"_blank\">try this pasta dish out<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.callmecupcake.se\" target=\"_blank\">This Brunch<\/a> looks like the perfect way to kick of Sunday<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\">And because I am trying to be more healthy, <a href=\"http:\/\/mynewroots.org\/site\/2012\/12\/meatless-monday-with-martha-stewart-garlicky-kale-and-white-bean-stew\/\" target=\"_blank\">I think this might be Saturday&#8217;s lunch<\/a>.
