Scrumptious, Food for Family and Friends , is the delightful cookbook of my friend and fellow-blogger Jane-Anne Hobbs. Jane-Anne’s blog, Scrumptious South Africa, was one of the first blogs I visited when I started blogging back in 2007. Her blog, her colorful cooking and the manner in which she describes methods and cooking skills on her blog, set the bar for me long ago and when I do blog, I often wonder if it will pass the Jane test! She set the  standard that I blog, write and cook by!
So when I heard from the horses mouth that she is busy with her own cookery book, not only was I overwhelmed with excitement, but I felt daunted at the thought that the proverbial bar just raised  extensively!

On RSG tomorrow, I will be talking about pantry ingredients and for that reason I have chosen the Hot Caprese Tart from her book, Scrumptious, as it is made with phyllo pastry and I always keep phyllo pastry at home….for me a must as a life-saver when unexpected people arrive.
