I confess I have only ever used the chocolate cake and the harvest tomato sauce recipe in this book. I thoroughly recommend both. I took the time today to look through the book properly and it is a beautiful book. Annabel's property in Queenstown is stunning and her garden to table food looks mouth watering. I have quite a few post-it-notes throughout now and am off to the supermarket shortly. I'm thinking roasted pepper pesto tossed through fresh pasta!
