This is a simple one, that takes only a few minutes to prepare, but tastes great.

Ingredients

• Big pot of thickened cream
• Half a dozen eggs
• Frozen puff pastry (you can make your own if you like, I’m lazy)
• One head of broccoli, cut into florets
• Some bacon rashers, diced
• One large shallot (or a couple of smaller ones), diced
• One tomato
• Cheese to taste
• Butter

Method

Put the broccoli in a steamer, and cook until it’s tender. The crunchiness is up to you.

In the frypan, gently melt the butter, then add the shallot. Cook until it starts to go transparent, then add the bacon, and cook for a while.

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk gently. Once they start to combine, add some cream. You want the mixture to be as tough to mix as a light pancake batter. If it’s too tough, add a dollop of milk.

Add the shallot and bacon from the pan to the mixing bowl and mix gently.

Grease a quiche dish with butter, liberally. Cover the bottom and sides with the pastry.

Place the broccoli florets over the bottom of the pastry, then pour over the egg mixture.

Place slices of tomato over the top of the mixture, and then sprinkle with cheese if you like.

Bake at 180ºC for about 30 minutes. You want it to be wobbly, but not wet, when you remove it from the oven.

Enjoy!

A good chilli jam is sweet, but not too sweet, and leaves a delicious heat in your mouth. This recipe is my own concoction, although jaymis has a good alternative, sans tomato

Ingredients

• 2 cans of diced tomatoes (I use roma tomatoes – cherry tomatoes would be a nice alternative)
• 5 chillies (more or less – do what you think is right for your audience) – seeds removed and set aside
• Garlic (I used 5 very large cloves – I suppose about half a standard-size garlic would be sufficient) – peeled and roughly chopped (chop it finer if you don’t like bits of garlic)
• 3 tsp tamarind paste
• 1 cup sugar (raw sugar works well – the more unrefined the better)
• 1 cup red wine (I used some leftover tempranillo )
• 1/2 cup fish sauce

Put all the ingredients into a largish saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to very low. Cook for at least 2 hours, until such a time where you can see the mixture becoming non-runny.

Remove from heat, put into pre-boiled jars. Enjoy!

• Want the image floated left? You get the class name ‘alignleft’
• How about right? You guessed it: ‘alignright’
• What about if you want it displayed in the centre of the post? Try ‘aligncenter’ on for size

Styling these tags

So, depending on your styles, you’ll want something like this:

	.alignleft {float: left; margin: 0 1em 1em 0;}
	.alignright {float: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;}
	.aligncenter {display: block; margin: 0 auto 1em auto;}

The above styles pretty things a little bit. However, what happens if you have a rogue person editing your content who uses the ‘align’ attribute on your images? How can you standardise the display of images?

Using attribute selectors, it’s pretty easy:

	.alignleft, img[align=left] {float: left; margin: 0 1em 1em 0;}
	.alignright, img[align=right] {float: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;}
	.aligncenter {display: block; margin: 0 auto 1em auto;}

In the perfect world that I dream of, no CMS would allow people to use ‘align’ on images (or any other element), but in the immortal words of John Bender: Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088847/quotes (that’s from the Breakfast Club)
