I’m always drawn to colourful food, I adore the I’m always drawn to colourful food, I adore the vivid crimson of forced rhubarb. Today I’ve simply poached it with honey and blood orange juice, it is an exceptional breakfast with thick and creamy kefir.

Thank you @pattandpott for the beautiful bowl 🤍

This bake is everything a carrot cake wants to be! It’s moist, not too sweet, lightly spiced and a great way to eat one of your five-a-day.

Potato Dauphiniose you say? No I have to correct y Potato Dauphiniose you say? No I have to correct you, this has to be one of the best examples of Swedish home cooking (husmanskost). This, for me, is nostalgia on a plate; Laxpudding or Salmon Pudding is a meal that’s a wonderful way of using up leftovers, however that doesn’t mean it needs to be consigned to the status of a mere mid-week supper.

You can find the classic, quite lengthy version of this in my blog archive, this is a far simpler, quicker version. I have combined potatoes with celeriac, fresh and smoked salmon with golden sautéed onions and dill of course. With the addition of milk & eggs to set the pudding. It really doesn’t take much time to put together with delicious and comforting results. It’s  fabulous the next day too.

I’ll pop this version on the blog tomorrow. If you head over to my profile and click on the link and sign up to my e-newsletter, I’ll send the recipe directly to you.
