I was browsing (timewasting my day away) through pinterest the other day when I came across an impressive dinner idea. Now can I just say that whilst I do agree with almost every line in the image above, the recipes on pinterest are the one area where I am actually productive [i.e. I will see a foodie pic and often try to recreate it, usually adapting depending on what I have in the pantry].
The following recipe was inspired by one I found (via pinterest) on the lovely butterflyfood blog - beautiful food and recipes so do check it out! It was so easy and the flavours worked so well - so delicious to try roasted pear with pork, rather than the usual pork and apple (or applesauce) combination! A must for your next dinner with friends or family!
