A simple dish of roast carrots is given extra sparkle by a sprinkling of store-cupboard spice and a dollop of flavoured yoghurt
My spice rack holds an eclectic host of jars and containers, all jammed with berries, seeds and barks from around the world. It has pride of place in my kitchen: a pinch of this or that, ground down with my pestle and mortar, adds flavour, aroma and even a bit of glamour to everyday ingredients. It seems nothing short of magic. Now I must make use of all this time at home and label them all properly!

Instant Pot Mini Cheesecakes Instant Pot Mini Cheesecakes. Six single serving cheesecakes in the pressure cooker. A common question on my pressure cooker cheesecake recipes: “Can I make this in single-serving cups?” Why, yes! The trick is finding 8-ounce jars or ramekins that fit in the Instant Pot. You’ll need 6 jars – we’re going to make two layers, with 3 jars per layer. (Check to make sure the jars or ramekins fit before you start.) I use Kerr half-pint wide mouth canning jars, which are the perfect size to fit in the pot. Also, I have a bunch of wide mouth canning jar storage lids, so it’s easy to lid up the cheesecakes when they are done cooking. Oh,...
With the majority of us hunkered down at home, I know you’d probably expect me to tell you to do things like social distancing from your fridge, drink green juices, workout in your living room every day, etc. And you should, keeping yourself healthy and active is very important, especially right now. However, I also believe that it’s paramount to stay sane, light-hearted, and gruntled. For me, that means eating something comforting, sweet, and delicious every day; such as a slice of this Italian Jam Tart (aka crostata). Lately, my classic breakfast smoothie has been replaced with a slice of crostata which is a quick, crumbly crust pressed into a tart pan, coated with jam, and baked. It keeps my...
One of the few silver linings of the past two months isolated at home with our family is getting to eat three family meals a day together. Rarely would we all get to sit down for family dinners during the week and lunch/brunch was saved for just weekends. These days, thanks to coronaviurs, mealtime has become the best part of our days, especially lunch when the kids get to take a break from schooling and we can set work and household chores aside to sit down to eat together, even if it’s just for 15 mins. The only problem being, by the time I’m done cooking and cleaning dishes it feels like it’s time to plan for the next meal....
6: “Eggs-trapolation” Into the late 1940’s, with another springtime holiday for eggs on the plate. It’s high time all of Hollywood’s chickens and bunnies took some tips on the subject from the greatest “Wabbit” of them all. Easter Yeggs (Warner, Bugs Bunny, 6/28/47 – Robert McKimson, dir.) – If Walter Lantz could turn his staring Rabbit into an Easter Bunny, it was inevitable that Bugs would sooner or later have to follow suit. (In fact, Bugs would perform Easter services twice, also appearing as an Easter bunny (but without eggs) in the “Freddie, Get Ready” number with Doris Day and Jack Carson in My Dream Is Yours (1949).) But in the 1947 edition, Bugs, while minding his own business catching...
