In my kitchen…
…are chocolate elephants! This latest batch of lollypops is made with a mix of Callebaut 811 (54% cacao), Sao Thome dark origin chocolate and a small handful of Callebaut 823 milk chocolate. Pete loves it, and I’ve had to hide them to ensure there are some left for Small Girl…
In my kitchen…
…is a box of amazing rock sugar, a gift from our lovely friend Moo…
It’s amazing stuff, and resembles small shards of polished glass. I’ve scattered some over the top of an apple pie, and plan to coat shortbread cookies with them as well…
In my kitchen…
…is a jar of lampascioni (Italian wild onions). I wrote about the paste a couple of years ago, but this is the first time I’ve seen the whole onions for sale…
They’re deliciously bitter, in a rocket kind of way…
In my kitchen…
…are five small tubs of homemade taramosalata, because Cindy and Nic mentioned it on their blogs, and I wasn’t able to get the thought out of my head until I made a batch. I found some fabulous roe at a Greek deli in Marrickville on my last shopping expedition with the Spice Girl.
Our recipe is here and it uses potato instead of bread, so it’s gluten-free…
In my kitchen…
…I’ve been baking knotted rolls! Using my latest bread formula, I shaped the proved dough into baguettes and let them rise a second time. Just before baking, I tied the long rolls into knots. It was easy and fun to do…
In my kitchen…
…are today’s eggs. Bless those chooks of ours, they’ve laid consistently all through winter…
In my kitchen…
…because I’m suggestible, is a copy of The Geometry of Pasta, which both C and Tandy recommended to me after my pasta shapes post. It’s an interesting read!
