We found this little beauty at Todmorden boot sale on Sunday and snapped it up for £4 (retail price for the Hinari £34.99). A cup of caster sugar stirred with half a teaspoon of red food colouring and we were off. Oh the joy! Oh the fun! Oh the mess when I put too much sugar in and it flew around the kitchen.
Sunday also saw the last day of the summer so I dragged everyone outside to eat a lunch of griddled turkey steaks, cous cous and chickpea salad with sundried tomatoes, red onions and thyme.

I love the chickpea salad. My friend Zalia made it for me last week in London and I can’t stop making it. I like to use these freaky little dark brown chick peas and this time I mixed them with chopped red onion, fresh thyme leaves and a good dollop of this sundried tomato bruschetta paste I found in Morrisons. Zalia makes it with rosemary instead of thyme – equally as good.
