INSTANT FOOD

Sunday mornings call for lazy breakfasts in your pjs, right? And while I am generally more of a sweet breakfast person, sometimes only eggs will do. I started today with some scrambled eggs and bacon plus homemade sourdough toast but I just came across these fried eggs with labneh and za’atar oil on the blog that I need to recreate asap! If you want to have a go, the recipe link is in my profile.

The countdown is on. My big sister is getting married soon and when that wedding takes place near Jaipur and you have never been to India before, it only makes sense to tag on a proper holiday. Our tentative itinerary will take us from Jaipur to Jodhpur and Udaipur as well as Agra and the Taj Mahal. Since that will involve a lot of driving, we wouldn’t mind breaking some of those long drives up. Are there any must-sees in between those cities? Also, do you have any recommendations for hotels, restaurants, tourguides (eg walking tours, market tours etc) in these cities?

Thinly sliced persimmons. Shaved pecorino. Olive oil. Sea salt. Black pepper. Pul biber. Sumac. I never really paid much attention to persimmons until I tried some in Romania last week and it turns out I really like them. Saw a shaved persimmon salad on here a few weeks and decided to recreate this. Persimmons are at their peak now so this little dish was still quite sweet, even if I was quite generous with the pecorino, pepper and sumac. Next time I might mix in something else - I think thinly shaved daikon could be great, also in terms of texture. I think this would also stand up well to some sort of herby drizzle - e.g. some zhoug or za’atar olive oil. Or some fresh cheese like crumbled feta or buffalo mozzarella.

As delicious and cheap as homemade coffee is, nothing for me beats a slow start to the working day over an overpriced oatmilk flatwhite in a cafe on the way to work with a side of reading. Here, a new novel recommended by my mum that I am enjoying so much I am already worried about finishing it too quickly and plenty of recipe inspiration thanks to the latest @foudepatisserie magazine (lots of beautiful galettes des rois and pistachio baked goods in this one!).

‘tis the season for Galette des Rois. Last year I was lucky enough to be in Paris for work and pick up one of these individual-sized galettes from @dupainetdesidees that were incredibly buttery and yet so delicately sweetened - so good.

[New post] I have just published a bit of a mammoth post on the blog sharing all the tips and tricks @kajahengstenberg and I picked up hosting our @twokitchens_brussels supperclubs and cooking classes. I must admit that I had wanted to do something like this for at least 5 years and it was only once I met @kajahengstenberg who had a similar dream I managed to make this a reality. And yes, it was scary and stressful at first but we quickly got the hang of it and @twokitchens_brussels quickly became one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. Strangers turned into friends, my kitchen skills increased tremendously, my self-esteem got a much needed boost and, above all, I had so much fun. So if you have a similar dream but have always been a bit scared - just go ahead and do it, you have nothing to loose! And hopefully today’s blog post wil set you on the right path for a successful supperclub journey! And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
