  1. What a great side dish! I made half the recipe for the two of us and I felt the proportion of potatoes and broccoli were perfect. Instead of steaming the broccoli, I toasted them in the oven with a litte water on the bottom of the baking dish (500F for 5-7 minutes) and they came out bright green and perfect texture. Served with baked chicken and a tossed salad, this made a wonderful meal. Thanks Sackville Girl!
     
  2. Oh Friedel! This was soooo good! Just the right blend of broccoli for the amount of potatoes. I made half the recipe because there are only two of us now, but it still came out just fine. I wouldn't change a thing. A great side dish with our breaded baked chicken breasts. Thank you for this recipe.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
