Chop courgette into rings.
Make a marinade of olive oil, garlic, some chilli and basil or thyme, whatever you feel like. Drown the courgette circles in the marinade, making sure, all pieces get covered well. Leave for a couple of hours.
Lay the circles on an oven pan and cook in a preheated oven at 200*C for 10-15 minutes. If you sprinkle some grated cheese on top, the cheese will tell you when it's time to get the courgettes out by melting.
Nice with some grilled meat!
Nigella's watermelon salad
My take on Nigella's watermelon salad.
/i promise i take a picture next time i make this/
Take random amounts of:
Flat-leaf parsley
Fresh mint
Pitted black olives
Feta cheese (or any other similar soft cheese - but cut it yourself, the ready-made cubes are never soft enough to give that extra bit of "juice" on the salad)
Watermelon
Red onion
Lime(s)
Chop onion to half-moons, the finer the better and cover in lime juice. The point is to bring the tangy onion taste down and create a juice for the salad.
Chop or tear everything else into reasonable salad-size pieces, mix lightly, add onion and pour the salad over with the lime-and-onion juice.
Eat!
Do invite guests, you'll love the compliments!

Brita cake
Crispy meringue, tender sponge, fluffy whipped cream, fresh raspberries... what else could you ask for in a perfect summer cake!
/photo to be added/
You need:
150 g butter
125 g sugar
4 egg yolks
110 g flour
2 tabelspoons of baking powder
1 dl milk
+
3 egg whites
150 g sugar
25 g almond chips
+
200 g raspberries
4 dl 35% whipped cream
2 spoons of sugar
Prepare sponge: Bring butter to room temperature and mix well with sugar. Add egg yolks one by one. Add milk. Mix flour with baking powder and add to the mixture. Apply the mixture on a baking tray, the thinner, the better.
Prepare meringue: whip up egg whites in a clean dish with a pinch of salt, once it starts to whip up, add sugar slowly. Once sugar has melted (when tasting you no longer feel the grains) and the egg has hardened, apply the mixture evenly on the sponge mixture.
Add almond chips and cook in a preheated oven at 175*C for approximately 30 minutes (the meringue should be light golden brown).
Let cool and cut into two equal pieces.
Prepare whipped cream: whip up the cream with sugar. Add raspberries. I never bother to mix raspberries in too well. But if you prefer an equal result, you can mix until the cream is all pink. Or even add the raspberries once the cream has already been laid on the base.
Compile cake: sponge with meringue as floor, whipped cream with raspberries in the middle and sponge with meringue as top.
Eat!
