I got back from hiking on the Bibbulmun track after 5 days and 51 kilometers through the bush. Very dirty, very stiff calves and an absolute hatred of flies! I had more free time on Saturday to cook (with the exception of a decent lie-in!) so cooked for my Parents & Grandparents - we children had homemade pizzas (made by my mother.) Bought the sashimi grade tuna from the Boat Shed, for those who don't know, this is Harrods food hall in Perth with equivalent prices! And dangerously, just a short walk from our house. The tuna was very easy to cook, once it was marinaded it took approx. 30 seconds on each side to cook, which left it very pink in the middle. Apparently, as lovely sat he tuna was, it needed a bit more 'bite', so my parents added some soy sauce. I made the tabbouleh in advance and served it at room temperature. Sadly at short notice I couldn't find bulgur wheat, so instead I used cous cous, which was equally nice and went well with the tuna.

Peach Tarte Tatin
I cooked this dish in a special copper tart tat in dish from Normandy. This is a summery variation of a French classic, apparently mango slices would also work well. The recipe states that this should serve 6 people, but with my Grandfather at the table, it only served 4 1/2 (the 1/2 was me!) Trying to get the skin off the peach and the flesh off the stone was awkward. I also learnt, just in time, to flip the dish away from me to get the dessert out of the pan! Served a la mode!
