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.
Coconut Bircher Muesli
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.
Harissa Bean Green Salad
Braised Lettuce Hearts
Strawberry Gazpacho
As it turns out, for a first-time-maker, hesitant-fan, of gazpacho, I’m rather a fan of this recipe; it beautifully salvages the season’s overripe strawberries, greens included, uses up a handful of day-old bread, keeps refrigerated or frozen, quick AND easy make ahead meal, perfectly refreshing in summer, won first place in last week’s canapés contest and last but not least, is a PROVEN gazpacho converter [myself included, now a huge fan, unbiased I promise].
