Kitchen Days







In my kitchen these past couple of weeks: 

Chickpeas and chorizo, lemons from a friend's tree, a spatchcocked free-range chook marinating in marjoram and olive oil, the most perfect egg I ever did poach (laid the day before by a neighbourhood hen), creamy tagliatelle with smoked salmon and chives, and home-baked bread rolls awaiting sausages and sauce.

What's been cooking at your place?

    1. I've been using the olive oil bread recipe from the Bourke Street Bakery cookbook (with dry yeast when I can't find the fresh stuff).

  2. All my favourite things! Yum. I've been making homemade chicken stock, pumpkin soup and lots of winter baking...

  3. Not a lot with tonsillitis. Pity you don't live next door... I would have asked for all the leftovers. But I'm guessing there weren't any. x

  4. Look at that egg! Perfection!

    I have been obsessed with roasted garlic...so roasted garlic on toast, roasted garlic sour cream...you name it, whatever it is I am cooking will have roasted garlic in it.

    And at the moment there is a cake in the oven...a certain someone turns two tomorrow!

  7. Soups have been making the rounds in my kitchen but they sure could have used some of your gorgeous rolls to accompany them!

  8. Oh my goodness, that all looks delicious, especially the egg – being pregnant, it is one of the few foods I kind of miss, a really perfect runny yolk egg. We've been eating simple basics, pasta, baked chook and there's a cauliflower in the fridge waiting to be made into soup.

    1. The freshest fresh egg, cracked into a cup then poured gently into just simmering water in a shallow pan. Add a swish of vinegar first if the egg wasn't laid last week. If it doesn't work, blame the egg and start over.

  15. Amazing! You eat so well. That poached egg looks divine, you can't beat a perfectly poached egg.

    My parents visited last weekend so we made an effort in the kitchen. One night we had a spicy lamb stew with apricots and almonds, and served it with couscous mixed with coriander and pomegranate seeds. It was all we hoped it would be and more. And the next night we had a chicken roasted with tarragon and lemon, with roasted new potatoes. Also great. Of course, now they've gone, we're ordering pizza tonight. xx

  16. There is no end to your talents Greer, I am quite sure of it! It's just as well you don't live closer, or else I would surely be inviting myself over for dinner! :)
