A return to his roots, Manu Feildel’s third cookbook French for Everyone, is packed with simple, rustic dishes. Honest and easy to prepare, this is food from the kitchen of a French home rather than that of a French restaurant. That's not to say you would turn down any of the dishes if they were served to you by a bistro-aproned waiter, but in juxtaposition to his second book, the techniques and recipes in French for Everyone are approachable enough to prepare at home. With options for … [Read more...]
End of Summer Sandwich & the Union Square Green Market – NYC
I don't do winter well. I'd take sweltering over cold any day -- and the fact that the lowest Sydney winter temps are still significantly higher than the north-east America-land ones I grew up with matters little when I have to get out of bed each morning to an un-heated apartment. Now Sydney has been gracing us with well above average late-autumn temps this year, but even so we are looking straight into three months of cold before things begin to look up again. It's about this time … [Read more...]
Preserved Limes and Kaffir Limes – Plus 3 Spice Blend Options
I've never been particularly good at the whole hostess gift thing. It's not that I don't have good intentions -- I see gorgeous ideas all the time -- but somehow anything remotely appropriate hides away in the recesses of my brain until the last moment when in a fit of oh-damn-I-forgot-again I simply grab a bottle of wine on the way out the door. However this past Easter we had plans with friends for a lazy Sunday lunch and for once I came up with an idea in advance. I had committed to … [Read more...]
Pink Princess Rice Porridge
Remember how I said I was going to work my way through drafts and archives? This is one of those, made in Feb 2013 then edited, labeled and uploaded in August in the naive hope I'd post it during our trip last year. The pics are on a different computer, or perhaps a backup drive, and leaving the font on them as-is is infinitely easier than the chain of events required to change it, or re-edit or re-shoot. In other news, pink porridge! ------ I had grand plans for a pink cake. I ended up … [Read more...]
Skillet Baked Eggs – Kale, Tomato Beans & Dukkah
By the looks of my posts these days you'd think all we eat is dessert. My Instagram feed however is quite a different story, a bit more of a social media smoke and mirrors filtered within an inch of its life realistic view of what makes it to the table. Working from home and being a big fan of using-leftovers-until-there-is-nothing-left-over can make for some interesting combinations, but the results are (generally) wholesome and filling. Now as much as I tend to just sautee a whole … [Read more...]
Apple & Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies {GF, DF}
My husband has this thing about breakfast. He has to eat something that by his definition is breakfast-y, before diving into anything remotely lunch related. Even on days when we laze in bed until the clock shows double digits and don't make it to a cafe until well after mid-day, he always orders eggs or another Western-style breakfast food. In the same vein, breakfast for dinner was a difficult sell for many years too -- although these days French Toast and various egg creations appear more … [Read more...]
