We've had a fair bit of orange food around here lately, well it is autumn after all. And, since it seems like ages since we've done a Menu Thoughts blog, I thought we should share it.

Carrot and coriander soup followed by sweet potato gnocchi.

Somewhere along the line the gnocchi got quite floury, they ended up a bit bland and stiff, but a last minute rescuer was found in the form of some creamy blue cheese.

The following day we ate fantastically tasty spiced bean burgers in pita breads with balsamic oil, jalepenos and tiny salad. And for dessert: rice pudding with caramelised apple sauce.
