“Strawberries, grape tomatoes, and minced jalapeno pepper make a fruity, spicy salsa perfect for summer dipping.”
I have been experiencing a lot of kitchen failures lately, including a rather large pot of boiled rose hips and old quince that was supposed to turn into rose hip jelly but instead ended up a rather sad, watery, flavorless mess. There were several other inedible experiments as well, a real losing streak of which I will spare you the awful details. But the great thing about being a cook is that even if you’ve lost your mojo, you still have to cook because you still have to eat. You can’t just toss your hair and say ‘oh, I think I’ll move on to buying antique motorcycles and fixing them up in my backyard now’ because the next day you have to get up and at the very least make toast. (I’m sure you’re aware that toast is fraught with potential failure.) You have to keep cooking even though you cannot. And we all know what happens when you keep at it: eventually you round the bend, something shifts, and it gets better. Cooking doesn’t let you be a quitter. More

If you’re hunkering down for the blizzard this weekend, I hope your fridge is stocked! Your going to want to make a batch of these tender, almond-flecked scones, for sure. And a warm bowl of cheesy bean panade would do quite nicely for dinner. There’s also baked feta with fig compote, Creole beans and rice, and two, count ’em TWO!, different cocktails to chase away the blizzard blues.

Yesterday I showed you the first stages of my home renovation and kitchen plans. Today I am going to take a step back and show you some of the inspiration I had filed away for my someday-future-kitchen, the pictures and thoughts that led us to the kitchen we built. Why have an open kitchen? What were the non-negotiables in the design? Read on for the scoop! More

Q: Could you recommend some British cookbooks and cooking blogs? I am an ex-pat and find some ingredients different here (flour for example). Thanks.
