I did 12 chicken thighs, marinated in honey and lavender which was a bit pointless as they all get kizzened on the bbq. I did 12 mince kebabs made from 750g mince. These worked. 3 sweet potatoes and 3 peppers - most of this went; 5 courgettes and a tub of ricotta (some left); 12oz dried weight fouls (some left); forgot how much bulghar - probably 12oz.

A sort of goulash with peppers and some leftover chicken; broad beans; posh pappardelle

feta scones; pak choi in lemon and oil; bulghar leftovers with pine kernels

I used 4oz flour for the scones. Colin was mystified at them: are the muffins? crumpets? before finally trying "scones", which he said was what he thought first, but thought they couldn't possibly be scones.
