Sourdough with Whipped Herb Noisette

Sourdough with Whipped Herb Noisette

It’s the start of January. For most people this is a time to dread. Back to work. Back to the gym. Dry January. Veganuary. Dark, dark days. If however, like me, you have your birthday in the first few days of the new year then…

Hake, Pancetta & Brown Shrimp Cassoulet, Kale and Salsa Verde

Day 81: Radishes with Anchovy Cream

Day 81: Radishes with Anchovy Cream

Day 65: Panzanella

Day 65: Panzanella

inspired by Marcella Like a lot of people right now I’ve been baking a lot of bread. I’ve discovered that homemade bread is not only really simple (as long as you have yeast, I’m still trying to master the sourdough loaf) but also tastes so…

Day 58: Herb Omelette

Day 58: Herb Omelette

inspired by Balthazar After my not entirely successful attempt at Tart au Citron, and as I’m feeling a bit low on energy, it’s time to shake things up. The tough thing about staying at home with no work to do, is that it’s much harder…
