Chickpea Fritter Puffs a la Fifteen Spatulas (with a bit of tinkering)
So I had this lonely little bag of chickpea flour (about 1 C) and I really try very hard not to waste food so I went looking for something to make. What I found was Joanne and her Fifteen Spatulas and a great little recipe […]
Warm French Lentil Salad with Bacon and Tarragon Dressing
I needed a side dish for beef shanks with gremolata and I had bought some organic French lentils (aka puy lentils) so I decided to make a warm French lentil salad. This recipe is based on this Green Lentil and Bacon Salad I found on […]

Mummu Mashed Potatoes

Rosé Risotto with Cheddar Cheese (Say what now?)
It’s getting chilly outside, and I wanted comfort food. I had arborio rice and no parmesan, but I did have cheddar and a bit of leftover Rosé that needed to be used. Experiment time. If worse came to worse (it was Friday the 13th) there […]
