Bircher-Granola Dust-Muesli

Bircher-Granola Dust-Muesli

You know the bottom of that granola bag robbing you of what could have been your last few clusters?  That comes out in a rush covering your kitchen counter in dust, or sits at the bottom of your cereal bowl, neglected.   Wasted...

Yeah, that.  It's gold.

Week of Chickpeas

Week of Chickpeas

I’m not really one to ‘meal plan’.  Even if, interestingly, that is often touted as quite an effective way to reduce food waste in the kitchen.  If I’m honest, I just never get organized.  Instead, I like to invest in one ingredient, and see what I can add to it from the excess odds and ends I have lying around [perhaps you can relate…].  So.  Dry Chickpeas.  A cheap and cheerful pantry ingredient.  And THIS WEEK’S #1Dish1Week HERO.  Let's investigate.

Blueberry + Black Pepper Pie

Blueberry + Black Pepper Pie

Perhaps you’ve guessed where I’m going with this… with a nostalgia for ‘fall’, chocolate week in full swing and an abundance of blueberries... there was only one thing left to do.

I had a bunch of coconut beverages in my fridge.  It was time for them to go.

Berry + Lemon Curd Pastry Pudding

Berry + Lemon Curd Pastry Pudding

Today’s pastry bread pudding is a nostalgic one., made from gifted day-old pastries from friends, and a leftover jar of mum’s ultimate Lemon Curd; half of which fueled my favourite paintballing troops this past weekend.  The other, served on Great Grand-Maman’s hand monogrammed handkerchiefs and eaten in my first London flat.

FRITTAFFLES

FRITTAFFLES

It feels only fitting, that for this 1 year anniversary post - albeit a week or so late - that it should be none other than the Frittaffle.  Because when your friends tell you "let's make brunch" and "we have a waffle iron" jut as Food Network happens to share 15 things you can make with a waffle iron... There is really only one thing left to do. 

Ratatouille: Every Which Way

Ratatouille: Every Which Way

Ratatouille.  It can be fancy and minimalist.  It can evoke the warm and fuzzy feelings of home.  It can bring to mind the image of a cute French rat.  It can be transformed into epic bestovers.
