I made myself a dead simple but very enjoyable light lunch today.

  • Half a Kidderton Ash Goats Cheese (sliced into rounds) ³
  • A small handful of croutons
  • Olive oil (Extra Virgin for preference)
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • A little Parmigiana Cheese (grated or shaved)

Method

  • Rinse and dry the salad leaves

Racing Through the Dark by David Millar

2 Comments

I have managed to get hold of a copy of David Millar’s book Racing Through the Dark (Orion, 18.99 rrp) in time to read while I am on holiday. Richard Williams reviews it in today’s Guardian book reviews.

He says about the book:

David Millar provides one of the great first-person accounts of sporting experience

The definitive review will be on this blog after I get back from holiday.

The review also covers Richard Moore’s Slaying the Badger (Yellow Jersey, £12.99), which tells the story of the rivalry between Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault and the 1986 Tour de France. I think that it will also be worth a read.
