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].

It’s funny how we often don’t think about what we don’t eat and why we don’t.  Cauliflower leaves are one such example.  Growing up, it’s what protected the food.  Now, it is the food.  When you don’t feel like spending on 101 cruciferous veg - that can cost an arm and a leg in some parts of the world - buy the cauliflower and get the best bang for your buck.

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.

Greek Yoghurt + Nutella Cheesecake

I gave Nigella's Cheesecake a Bestover treatment, courtesy of some old biscuits, an abundance of Greek Yoghurt [more than would fit in any regular human’s fridge], a distant memory of an old Pinkberry order, and a craving courtesy of a culinary hero[ine].

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.

Crispy Crushed Chickpeas

My new favourite way to eat chickpeas.  Literally perfect for when you have no meat on hand but are looking for something with a hit of salt, bite, and smokiness to hit the spot.  [That and I just decided on an alliterative name of which I’m quite proud].

In continuation of what to do when - to avoid throwing down the drain and with respect to my #NoWaste kitchen experiments - your friends give you 6L of Whole Milk [to carry single-handedly on the tube home]...
