April Showers is the theme at I Heart Cooking Club. Fresh produce, fantasticly juicy fruits, local veggies in many varieties which aren't shipped in from other parts of the world.
I chose a very simple Jamie side dish of cheesy peas.
He states in his book Cook with Jamie - if your kids won't eat peas this way they'll never eat them. So true. The cheesy goodness gave the peas an extra punch. Yum!
Grillmaster Doug charred up some delicious grouper
and we had a cold fruit salad and bottle of Nora to round it out.
Nothing like a bottle of cold wine to cool you down in 90 F degree temps (32 C). Our thermostat died just in time for a hellishly hot weekend.....pass that glass.
You know what to do - head over to IHCC and see what April Showers inspired other folks to prepare.
Cheers! (Pretend you heard that in my best Mockney accent :-0 )
Simple and delicious...just the way I like it :D
ReplyDeleteStill trying to convince myy guy that peas can be good; maybe I should add cheese. That grouper looks crispy good.

Love the pictures and will definitely have to try the cheesy peas! I wish it was 90 degrees here, it still feels too cold for white wine.
ReplyDeletethat grouper looks to die for...soon I will be able to eat grilled meat and fish again... :-)
ReplyDeleteSound great! And served with à Nice cold bottle of wine.... Can't wait until it will be a 30c degrees overhere
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys! I wish we could share the warm weather with those of you in cooler climates. Believe me, I'd send it away!
ReplyDeleteOoooooh - that fish looks fabulous ... don't panic about the Mockney - he's an Essex boy!
ReplyDeleteWow - 90 degrees already. Too hot for this time of year! Love the cheesy peas and the grouper (both look great). Hope your AC is running good.
ReplyDeleteThose peas look delicious. I'm going to search for the recipe! My Mister will eat positively anything with cheese on it, so I will certainly have to find it. Too bad you can't have some of our 40 degree weather to temper your heat. I'm drinking lovely Pinots to keep warm here!
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy cheesy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you have wine with every meal - you are my kind of gal!
I'm keeping this one in mind. My pea recipe didn't turn out great this week :-(
ReplyDeleteCheese makes everything good! ;-) I actually love peas so cheese just makes them all the better. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI have been translating fish names for Vin this week - so she knows what to buy/order in France (hake = merlu, monkfish = lotte, cod = morue/cabillaud etc.) BUT grouper? Don't know what that is in British English or French ;o)
