This is the first flower on my aubergine plants (sounds so much more classy than the US word "eggplant"). If the fruit's anything like as gorgeous as the bloom, I'll be delighted.
The hot weather should make for a good harvest, I hope.
I am not sure exactly what I am getting, because it was a mixed packet. Given the huge variety of types in the aubergine family, I could end up with anything.
Please pass on any good aubergine recipes, because it's not something I cook with a lot. Rick isn't a big fan - or rather, wasn't, until we had a dish in our hotel in Italy that was so good he was completely won over. It was an aubergine tart - you can see a picture of it here - but we'll have to wait until the Montali recipe book comes out before we can make it for ourselves.
