Pizza Dough: Vehicle for Leftovers

Pizza Dough: Vehicle for Leftovers

Given I have an obsessive passion for everything and anything Italian, spent a month on a farm in the middle of nowhere [have a little read if you're curious...], promised more Italian recipes than I’ve actually yet delivered [please forgive me].  And somehow, ended up with a massive tub of Devi’s [Maltby St. Market regular] leftover Persian Aubergine - which I had no choice but to take home with me to save from the bin – along with a pesto from The Gay Farmer [other Maltby St. Market regular] that I’m dying to try.  Pizza dough, was the only logical upcycling solution that could do my street food leftovers justice.

This mouthwatering Rhubarb + White Chocolate Tart that surpassed all expectations.  That we had to share immediately.  So that you could make it for your next dinner party/picnic/tea-for-one [judgement-free-zone, promise].

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.

I should pre-empt this post by first excusing myself for an abnormally excessive number of photos of these obsessively cute Easter treats.  I honestly couldn't help myself.

Olive Oil + Blood Orange Cake

I’ve been waiting almost a year to share this post with you.  Mostly because, well, it’s using Blood Oranges.  But also, because it does so much right by this fruit, celebrating everything it has to offer: from flesh to skin, taste to scent.

You are free to decide whether this recipe is just an excuse to make hot cross buns or hoard orange peel.  But either way.  Hoard the orange peel.  And make the hot cross buns.
