After spending last weekend and much of this week recovering from a cold, I feel extra ready to soak up the sun, catch up with friends and just be a bit more normal. On Sunday, we're making lunch with friends and planning the menu around Jewish new year. I'm making Chicken Marbella from Ottolenghi's book Simple, which my brother Derrick has made and loved. I'll be making a big pot of baked saffron rice too. Onto some good things to share:
A hand cream that smells of smoke and not flowers.
Current obsession: these strangely soothing Instagram dance videos.
Super excited to try Adam Liaw's five mushroom pasta next week, as recommended by Irini.
Lindsay Cameron Wilson's food writing always transports me to another place. I savoured her thoughts on marriage and coffee.
The behind the scenes of the Harvey Weinstein investigation episode of Fresh Air is fascinating, disturbing and well worth a listen. Via The High Low.
I'm reading A Half Baked Idea by Olivia Potts atm and every chapter ends with a recipe. A banana cake with Rolo cake sounds pretty genius to me.
Finally, an actually easy quiche from ABC Life with goats' cheese and asparagus. The filling is so wonderfully silky and I can see that this recipe is going to be so easy to adapt and play with.
