I was asked for the recipe of the French onion soup, I featured in my last post. That was the opportunity to go back into writing and update the blog.
French week in my kitchen!
Bastille day 2021! If we can’t go to France, let France come to us.
Here we go, lockdown again. Actually, we’re in week 3 of stay-home orders and while we took the first 2 weeks on the chin hoping to be back to normal afterwards, it’s dawning on all of us that we could be in lockdown for a lot longer. Numbers don’t look good.
This is the kitchen I’d like to be in right now. It’s at my mum’s, in France, cooking scallops in the fireplace. That was in April 2019, last time we visited from Australia. We’ve all gone thru multiple lockdowns, 3 in France, our second in Sydney, trying to hold on to hope we’ll see each other again ( I was going to say soon, but Australian borders are nowhere near opening…) No one dares making plans, just keeping in touch and asking each other «  what’s for dinner ? »
Some of you may know that we have @satahni staying with us lately. She always joins us for dinner and being the terrific cook that she is, always brings a plate to share. It is great fun discussing dinner plans which end up with enough food to feed an army. We joke that we should ask for people to vote for their preferred dish. I am just grateful to have her playing along with our crazy dinner themes!
I call these my moon plates. Latest addition to my servingware collection from @madeofaustralia
We eat everything. Especially last week. Maybe it was the cold weather, feeling tired, missing family or just hungry. I was back at the butcher @farmgatetoplate fishmonger @mrsfishshire and asian takeout @lankan_railway_cafe for a spicy kick.
I was so happy with this vegan dish. Inspired by @ottolenghi ( again! ), it’s a heady mix of sautéed herbs ( dill and coriander ), garlic, kale, red capsicum, preserved lemons and chickpeas in a generous amount of olive oil.. Braise until soft and fragrant, adding extra herbs when ready. It was meant to be the main for dinner, along spicy mushrooms and some pasta.
