Courgette Tart with Roasted Tomato Coulis

Final exams and my dissertation totally took over my life for the last few months, but since they all finished last Thursday I've suddenly had a lot of time on my hands. After a couple of days filled with cinema trips, shopping and celebratory cocktails with my best friend, I escaped the city and retreated back to Cheshire to see my parents and indulge in some much needed relaxation in the countryside.

One of the first things I did after unpacking my case was to pull my favourite cook books off my shelf and go through them with a pack of post-it notes picking the recipes I simply had to attempt. I've not made many things from Paul Hollywood's How to Bake, but while looking through it this week his Courgette Tart with Roasted Tomato Coulis really stood out and it shot to the top of my list of recipes to try this week. I'm loving courgettes at the moment and wanted to try something savoury so thought this was the perfect recipe to try out first.

Met Ball 2014 Best Dressed

The most fashionable time of the year has arrived once again in the form of the fashion world's Oscars: the annual Met Ball. Last night saw the world's most famous and beautiful don their finery to celebrate the exhibition dedicated to couturier Charles James at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The dress code was strictly formal and elegant, with attendees expected to adhere to Anna Wintour's pre-determined theme of 'White Tie and Decorations'. This meant gowns and gloves for the women and top hats and tails for the men: Hollywood glamour at its absolute finest.
