Once again there was another good turn out from GoodGym to support tonight's FoodCycle meal. Martin, Gill and Myra were in the cooking team with Jordi, and although at first our ingredient choices seemed a little limited - we had lots of tomatoes, avocados and peppers but not much else - it wasn't long before they had hatched a plan to create a delicious and nutritious summer menu.

Gill took charge of the starter and was cutting up tiger bread to make large bruschetta bases, which would be piled high with smashed avodao and a cherry tomato topping. Martin started work on preparing cous cous and then chopping tomatoes to be roasted, while Mayra got stuck tearfully into chopping shallots and onions which were also roasted. These were all combined to make a tasty filling for stuffed peppers. They also prepared Jersey Royals and broccoli to put with them for the main.

The two other FoodCycle cooks had not turned up, so we were pleased that there was plenty of cake to cut up for pudding, served alongside a colourful fruit salad.

We were soon joined by Abdo, Derrick and Kamal who were helping with hosting the dinner, getting the tables ready., serving hot drinks and finally serving up the dishes to the guests. And there were many mouths to feed tonight. Just as we thought we'd finished serving a few more would come through the door, and our initial total of 23 soon grew to around 57. But we were not to be put off and made sure that everyone got a good meal and even had some bread and vegetables to take away with them.
