Paysanne

Fancy a light, healthy, delicious taste of spring in a bowl (or a mug, or a flask; we're not precious about these things)? The day I make this glorious peppery watercress soup always feels like the first day of spring. A good tip for a bank holiday lunch to impress your chums.
Serves 4
2 85g bags of watercress (remove the thick stalks as much as you can).... 50g butter 2 large leeks, washed and chopped (just the white parts) 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes. 1.5 pints vegetable stock salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a large pan (one with a lid) and add the potatoes, leeks and watercress. Turn everything in the melted butter then drop the heat down to the minimum, add a good pinch of sea salt and put the lid on. Try not to let anything brown.
After 10 minutes, add the stock. Bring everything up to a boil, stir, then drop it to a simmer. Add some pepper and leave for about 15-20 minutes. Leave it to cool for about half an hour, then blitz it all to a smooth paste with a handheld electric blender.
Check the seasoning and reheat. Served with a healthy dollop of crème fraîche. Alternatively, you can serve it chilled, ideally while your feet are cooling in a gently running river.

The Eisteddfod is coming to Llanrwst this summer and we're doing our bit to raise money to support it. The estimable Coetmor Pierce is holding a French food and wine evening here on Wednesday the 27th of March. There are only a few tables left, so if you want to take your taste buds out for the night in aid of a fine cause, please drop Coetmor a line at coetmor@aol.com

One of our guests who dined with us on Friday the 15th left this rather natty coat behind. Very snazzy torch thing in the pocket. I suspect they might have missed it on the wettest Saturday in years. Tried as many numbers as we could. Please let us know it it’s yours.

The weather outside is frightful indeed. Fancy spending some time in the sunny south of France? We know just the place... Ask for Bob & Barbara.
