Repeat Performance

Also great with yellow tomatoes!

Exploring Rum

The Dark and Stormy:  dark spiced rum, ginger beer, lime juice.  I skip the sugar because I like it bitter.

Tomato Season Begins...

We'll be eating this every other day, at least until the tomatoes give out.

Ambitious on a Weeknight

Sometimes, you get a taste for risotto on a weeknight.  I call this one "leftovers con risotto".

Fika Means...

An intriguing and charming little book, with some rather simple baking that I'm looking forward to trying.

Manhattan Time!

This Should Be Fun

2000 recipes of Italian goodness, give or take a few.  I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Simple Summer Supper

A simple summer supper from Ottolenghi's "Plenty" and "Plenty More":  smoked cheese and cauliflower frittata, with a cannellini and quinoa herbed salad.  Both recipes are solid and easy to modify.  These two dishes will go into regular rotation at our place.

A Standard, in a New Pan

Bought a new paella pan!  Not the easiest thing to work with, but the results made it worth it.  Lots of crunchy bits on the bottom of the pan of this fairly standard veg paella, again from Ottolenghi's "Plenty".  If you make paella, or any sort of composed rice dish, often enough, a paella pan is a worthy investment.

This Damn Tart

This little tart, from Ottolenghi's "Plenty" literally took half the day to make.  It doesn't have to be so hard!  Recipe is in desperate need of a streamlining rewrite.  Tasty though...
