A calzoni is a folded over pizza, baked like a pasty.

Roll a pizza dough ( I use a strong white organic flour and fresh yeast ) into an 8 inch diameter circle.
On one half spread one good spoonful of rich tomato sauce, topped with sliced red onion, ricotta cheese and chopped spinach.

Dampen the edges of the dough, fold over and pinch the edges together to seal.
Prick the top to allow steam to escape and cook in a hot oven for about twenty minutes until golden brown.

These rich sausages make an excellent meal with potatoes or in a bread roll, with a spicy relish or chutney topping.

Ingredients:
500g parsnips
150g ground brazil nuts
100g grated organic cheddar cheese
four teaspoons of chopped fresh parsley
50g of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
75g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
two medium egg yolks
black pepper to season and sunflower oil for shallow frying.

Boil the parsnip until tender, drain, return to the pan and heat gently for one minute to reduce excess moisture then mash. Leave to cool.

Add brazils, cheese, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, pepper, breadcrumbs and egg yolks to mashed parsnip and mix thoroughly.

Shape the mixture (use wet hands) into eight sausage shapes.

Cook for five to six minutes in hot oil, turning as necessary, until nicely browned and crisp on the outside.

A smooth, moist and satisfying tray baked cake.

Ingredients:
50g organic plain chocolate
75g margarine
Two eggs (I use only free range)
150g castor sugar
125g strong organic white flour with half a teaspoon of baking powder mixed through
half a teaspoon of sea salt
half a cup of chopped brazil nuts, dry roasted in a heavy base frying pan or under a grill.

Melt together chocolate and margarine over hot water. Beat in eggs and sugar.

Mix in flour, salt and nuts, then spread the mixture in a well greased eight inch square tin.

Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F, gas mark 4) for 30 - 35 minutes until a slight crust has formed on the top but a shallow imprint is left when it is touched lightly.

Cool slightly then cut into squares.
