INSTANT FOOD

If I am being totally honest, apricots are probably my favourite fruits to experiment with in the kitchen. So as a final hurrah to apricot season (and because I am not yet ready to embrace fall baking), there is a round-up of my favourite apricot recipes on the blog, plus a few words on flavour combinations that work well with apricots (and other stone fruits). Link in profile.

My sister is currently traipsing around Singapore. And she was asking me for tips on where to eat. It’s been too many years since I was there but the one recommendation I had was to try and find an old school cafe to have Kaya Toast (toast with coconut jam, softboiled eggs, soy sauce and white pepper) for breakfast. So delicious and also what inspired these Kaya Toast Lamingtons I posted on the blog quite some time ago.

Plum season is upon us! What is your favourite way with plums? I love this umeboshi plum compote with French toast with miso sugar (recipe is in the blog archives). I also just bought my first prune plums for a Prune Plum and Chinese Five Spice Tarte Tatin.

Being passionate about food must be genetic: found this 600g(!) box of caraway seeds in my parents’ kitchen 😂

When in Paris ... Brussels hasn’t really caught onto the idea of sesame flavoured pastries and desserts, so whenever I am in Paris I make sure I satisfy my cravings. Love the sesame eclairs from both Sadaharu Aoki (pictured here from earlier today) and those from Boulangerie Utopie. The latter also does an excellent tarte au sésame noire which I had when I was here earlier this year.

Hello September - the month when apricots and melons and figs, which to me are fruits as summery as they get, share shelf space with mirabelles, reines claude, plums and prune plums. The latter so unmistakeably autumnal in my mind I always feel a little sad when they first appear at the market.
