A hot bath.....simply weird!

March 10th -  I'd been trawling my recipes for dip recipes to use at school when I came across this one. I'd also fancied something light but flavoursome so decided that a Winter Crunch Salad with a mind-blowing sauce might be worth a go. Jamie Oliver writes that it's proper name is bagna cauda which means 'hot bath' in Italian. To make the sauce you have to put six garlic cloves and 300ml of milk in a pan with 10 anchovy fillets then bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes.  Then you whizz it all up with a hand blender and blend in 180ml of extra virgin olive oil and 2-3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar.  Apparently if you want this thick like mayonnaise you keep blending but Jamie likes it like thin soup.....I never got passed the soup stage and couldn't see that any amount of blending would turn it into anything that remotely resembled mayonnaise!

Think I'll stick to hot baths with Lush bubble baths myself....
