Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day

Pocket Penguin 43 has been added to our library thanks to Mrs Rainy Day's colleague Tina Krauss. It's Jamie Oliver's Something for the Weekend. "My mum said that I probably shouldn't call it this because of the associations with condoms and everything," writes the star Brit cook. "We certainly couldn't have used a title like this seventy years ago, but times have changed." Indeed. From "Something for the Weekend" here's an ideal recipe for hot days. It's dead easy, too. Another advantage for someone with Rainy Day's limited kitchen skills:

Yoghurt with blueberry jam and elderflower cordial (serves 4)

1 x 500g/1lb pot of good-quality Greek or natural yoghurt; 4 tablespoons blueberry jam; 8 tablespoons elderflower cordial; 4 sprigs of fresh mint

Divide your yoghurt between 4 dessert bowls or small glasses. Spoon over your blueberry jam, cover with your elderflower cordial, and top with a sprig of mint.

Jamie Oliver is a genius. His idea that cooking should be fun and not a chore has struck a chord with children, grandparents and, yes, bloggers.
