Why should you hide your curves when you can flaunt it ??
Likewise cookware range have also gone way too modernised,colourful and stylish, that I do not see a reason why we lock away the cooking pots and pans in the cupboard. Gone are the day when we find only monotones colors in the cookware.The red and earthen tones in saucepans, woks & ceramics remind me of autumn.
The copper collection are in range, anytime of the year And they embark a grace in your kitchen.. Â How about some jazzing up some green’s to enjoy a touch of Spring/ Summer in this cold autumn weather, when the tree’s are actually shedding their leaves ?
I have a whole list of things to put together, when we decide to build a dream kitchen /house.How about pulling out the red’s from your stack and brighten up the season. And a warm Pizza baked from your oven to complement the chillness outside.Well I do intend to bake my pizza soon as its one of our family favourites.. The much deserved school term break is in force, we ( kids and me) are taking our day , just in its stride. I made my batch of Pizza Sauce ahead in time today and am just loving it. Its flavorsome and herb infused.
The bright vibrant Sauce to compliment the autumn colours is easy to make and it does give us a herald of the oncoming weather.
If you are more concerned with the color of the sauce, you might as well reduce fresh tomatoes and add some tomatoes from the tin or increase the proportion of the concentrated tomato puree.
