Gardens, Dinners & New Releases

Hi
I've had quiet times lately with my son and myself sent into quarantine, but that was a good time for writing. Unlike others who have been stuck in hotels or quarantine centres, we were home and so I could wander outside and tend to the garden.
The term ‘garden’ is almost a misnomer, as with the building work taking place, it’s not possible to plant anything in the ground. My garden is all pot based. Yesterday though, I dined on home-grown tomatoes, capsicum, strawberries, lettuce and spinach. This morning I noticed a small zucchini, and some eggplants are coming along nicely as well.
Potted Garden
The advantage of a pot garden is that it an be moved around as required. I also have parsley, mint, basil and chives growing and they are used regularly. Because of limited room, I'll be focusing on a vertical garden (like the Mr Stacky you can see) and espaliered fruit trees.

Maison Angelique
I have been thrilled with sales of this book. At one point in the story, the story, the characters sit down to a meal of Chicken Cacciatore, with Braised Broccolini and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes. A link is given for the recipe for this meal at the end of the book. Have any readers tried it out? I’d love to hear what you think. If you are about to cook the dish, send me a photo to emily@emilyhussey.com.au.
If you still want to read the book, it’s available at https://amzn.to/2OU1Mnf
