Nige has a nice website with some gorgeous looking recipes;)

Thanks for that. Have duly made note of recipe for onions with Parmesan and cream - thats my sorta combination.

I like my cheese sauce I do - but actually even precise/pedantic ceridwen is here thinking "I reckon I can take a leaf outa his book".

So - I've been doing dinner tonight from what I have and - bearing in mind I like any excuse for a cheese sauce - I've steamed some brown rice with chopped-up onion in and then put some mixed steam veg. (in this case carrots/broccoli/cauliflower) on top of that, then that there cheese sauce and then a handful of salted nuts - and 'tis nice...it is...:beer:

Have you read Nigel's book 'Toast'? It's all about his childhood and the stuff they ate. It's very nostalgic. The picture of him as a little boy on the front is him to a tee.....he hasn't changed much! Anyway, it's a good read, and quite touching in places.
