Read an article about making pesto by hand like an Italian grandmother and then went right ahead and whazzed it up in a machine 🤷🏾‍♀️

Chicken salad with tahini dressing aka a Caesar-but-not-quite-Caesar salad. The addition of chicken makes this a meal in itself which is always a win in my book. (The chicken: I’m a thigh girl. In Shania Twain’s words - forever and for always. But you could just as easily use chicken breast instead.) Recipe is linked

In case you missed the PSA that these Yorkshire puds are easier than pancakes to make - these Yorkshire puds are easier than pancakes to make! (Also my phone autocorrects ‘yorkies’ to ‘hormones’. Thanks for making things weird, Apple.)

Yorkshire puddings with pear & ginger compote ~ I lived in Yorkshire for a year and a half and never learned to make Yorkshire puds there (I did eat my fair share of them though). And here I am in Chennai fiddling about with ratios and proportions. I wish I’d foreseen this obsession a bit sooner. But thankfully these are ridiculously easy to make, and it took just a few tries and a bit of tinkering to get them just right.

We ate these for breakfast and I served them with a pear and ginger compote. Use any other fruit compote you like or simply serve straight out of the oven with lashings of cream and honey. Recipe is linked

Excitement over fresh produce darkened by the realisation that they need to be used up what, by the end of the day?

Oatmeal congee with mushrooms ~ At this rate, I may as well make it official, pivot into a ‘breakfast only’ website and not worry about my lack of enthusiasm for anything else. If you’ll stick around, I promise to make it worth your while with (more!) French toast variations and nestling eggs into anything that even closely resembles a sauce. Christ, I’m predictable aren’t I? (But I’m kidding ofc. Until roasted veggies and salads make it into the mainstream breakfast scene, I’m going to stay put for now.)

Congee is a type of rice porridge eaten in Asian countries. Although typically associated with East Asian cuisine, the name originated in India and comes from the tamil kanji. (I’ve called it congee here only because I’ve made it Chinese-style. Calling it kanji and topping it with shiitake mushrooms and cooking the oats in stock sounded too bizarre.) Recipe is linked

A loaf from a few months ago stuffed with olive tapenade butter (stating the obvious by saying I’m really into this stuff). I forgot to scribble the measurements down though and now I’m just not able to recreate it 😭 At this rate, food + recipe writer dreams = 🕸⚰️

Honey-chilli potatoes are typically fried before b

Honey-chilli potatoes are typically fried before being tossed in a sticky sauce. Most recipes call for double-frying: first to cook the insides, and then coated in flour and fried again for that crispy exterior. Now I’m not going to sell you on this oven-roasted variant saying they get just as crispy as if you were to double-fry them. Of course they wouldn’t. They do get crispy enough though. And for half the effort and quarter the amount of oil, it doesn’t feel like a downgrade at all.

Here’s the thing also – we don’t eat them as an appetizer the way they’re typically served. Despite being crispy, oven-roasting justifies eating them for breakfast. What? They’re just potatoes coated with sauce. And not deep-fried. Call them fries if you want, but I’m already plotting another batch for our weekend breakfast thankyouverymuch. (These are great with eggs on the side; perfect with Turkish eggs.) Recipe is linked

Instagram tells me this was taken in Jan 2020. ie, 82 weeks ago. 577 days ago. Because I’m a mother now and apparently need to calculate everything in days and weeks. I got the memo but no one told me why?
