INSTANT FOOD

Promised to bring something homemade to brunch tomorrow and looking for a quick and stress-free crowdpleaser? These quick yeast-free cinnamon roll recipe should do the trick. Based on German Quark-Öl Teig (fresh curd cheese and oil dough), these cinnamon rolls come together super quickly and are beautifully soft and moreish and perfectly sticky from all that butter and cinnamon sugar in the filling.

Rainy Saturdays call for snuggling up on the sofa and perusing the latest addition to my cookbook shelf. A beauty both inside and out - so inspiring! (If you are not familiar with Will Goldfarb - watch his Chef’s Table episode on Netflix!)

There is a new post up on the blog for this fresh Turmeric and lemon curd - a delicious twist on classic lemon curd, with an almost tropical flavour and deep yellow hue. Delicious licked straight off a spoon but, if you have more self control than I do, also fantastic with yoghurt, stirred into an ice cream base or as a filling for tarts. Link in profile!

Move over Nutella, there is a new guy in town: Turkish Fistikella (from Fistik, which is Turkish for Pistachio). Two ingredients only (pistachios and sugar) and outrageously delicious. Making a mental note to fill my suitcase with jars of this when I am next in Istanbul. And until then, this jar will be subject to strict rationing.

Since starting my new job I am finding I have more time than I have had in a long time to read and it is glorious. Just finished this one. Different in some ways than I expected. Not an easy read. And by no means a page-turner. And yet a fast read - to find out more about Tara and her unique story but also to get another break from the gruesome bits of the story. Both horrifying to read about just how difficult some people’s lives are and life-affirming to see what we human beings are capable of overcoming (even if our past will follow us wherever we go).

After a short summer break @twokitchens_brussels is back with a new event: Join @kajahengstenberg and myself on Monday, 23 September 2019, for an Indian Summer themed evening. As always we will kick off the evening over a welcome cocktail and some snacks, followed by our signature homemade sourdough bread and flavoured butter before sitting down to a multi-course meal. Tickets are EUR 50 per person and this covers the welcome cocktail, all the food plus water, coffee and tea. It's BYOB so feel free to bring your favourite bottle of wine to accompany dinner. But hurry - tickets are limited and there are only a few spots remaining! To book, send me a pm or email us at twokitchens.reservation@gmail.com
