It Looks Simply Palak, Daaling

Basmati, a marinaded veggie salad in virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar (no sugar or celery seed added here and oil cut way back to a drizzle). A daal and a sort of palak paneer variation but dairy-free and less spicy in version by Ken Charney. The palak is close to the recipe there […]

St. Valentine’s Raspberry Sacher Torte

6 egg whites
5 oz semisweet and/or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup sugar

Melt the batter of bittersweet chocolate by […]

Chili

Chili with whole wheat bread from this:

My 13 bean chili bears a ressemblance to the recipe. (Stews are pretty resilient in the face of change.) I boiled the dried beans an hour then rather than let soak for an hour, then simmer for 3, I turned it off for 3 hours then simmered for 2 […]

Tea Biscuits

Herb tea biscuits.

Rolled a little thick and cooked on convection that lowered heat by 25 degrees and dropped cooking time by 2 minutes.
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Herb de provence added to taste
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter chopped in
1 cup almond milk
Sift dry ingredients together. Chop […]

Oyster Mushroom and Veggie Roast

Above, over basmati rice, beside green beans, roasted oyster mushrooms with parsnip, carrot, potato and shallot tossed in olive oil, baked for 20 minutes at 425 degrees.

Pretty, pretty mushroom, even if it will turn to more brown when cooked. It opens up quite a scent too.

And a treat at Moulin de Provence, which was less […]

Crepes

The crepes with almond milk and a little more water than suggested.

Filling of feta, spinach, black pepper and red bell peppers.

With all this breadmaking about, flour without specifying kind seems odd.

Free range sounds so contained but much more jubilantly victorious in French. Poules en liberté!!

And the recipe says it makes 4 serving and […]

Bread and Nuts

Beer nuts for breakfast at 3 p.m. My circadian rhythm is officially messed up after getting up for the day by 2 a.m. and then after bed sometimes after 2 a.m.

This potato dill bread recipe takes me back to primary school — coming home to bread coming out the oven, slathering with butter while […]
