Blog Post & Recipe: Jamie's Sausages and Green Lentils with Tomato Salsa


As someone who lives with a great cook of a husband, I tend to fear making just so-so meals. I'm working on both my skills and my fears, and this recipe is one that has helped me build confidence ...

No recipe here, just a novelty melon.


The rare Pepquino melon measures just an over inch (3cm) from tip-to-tip but has the identical external pattern and distinctive shape of traditional watermelons ... While it resembles its larger cousins, it has a fresh crisp taste similar to a cucumber and juicy light green flesh.

It can be eaten as a snack or appetiser, like olives, in a summer salad, stir fried or made into a sorbet and teamed with dark chocolate.
