So wonderful to have teenage grandchildren visit for dinner tonight. Now they have their drivers’ licences they often drop in, which is just fantastic.

Pictured is a little pre dinner snack for them – still warm mini loaves of bread, served with freshly made pesto, Ajvar, labna (yoghurt cheese) and kasoundi.

To follow were chicken schnitzels and crunchy spuds with salad, and for dessert a large pavlova decorated with strawberries and raspberries from the garden. Nothing better than cooking for teenagers!
