Wheat Berry Salad / Butternut Pumpkin & Sage Dinner Rolls / Fajita Spiced Roasted Chickpeas



Blog Post & Recipe: Light and Fresh Wheat Berry Salad


This salad is rad because it has so much texture and crunch. So if you’re a salad hater like me, you should try this.

The flavor of the squash comes through subtly, and I certainly can’t imagine a situation where sage and goat cheese make something worse, can you?

Combine the spice mixture and sprinkle over the chickpeas. Toss to combine well. Pour the chickpeas onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes, turning every 5-10 minutes until they are roasted and crunchy.


M., this is our one thousandth post.

Blog Post & Recipe: happy hour: boozy mint lemonade slush


The thing is, I don’t have anise seeds, so I went with a classic summer pairing, lemon and mint, which I thought sounded super refreshing, especially for a slush. And since it’s happy hour, a little bourbon doesn’t hurt either.


Blog Post & Recipe: Whipped Cranberry Porridge


Along with rye bread, quark, wild berries and squeaky cheese, whipped lingonberry porridge is definitely on the top 5 of my favourite Finnish foods. Now, there is an obvious lack of frozen lingonberries here in Sydney - so far I haven't found any.

Crustless quiche. Frumenty. Braised Brussels Sprouts.



Blog post & Recipe: miniature crustless quiche


I wanted something distinctly eggy, but not too rich or filling. Then, duh- quiche! Except- I was too lazy to make a crust, and I don't have a pie tin. The simple and obvious solution is to grease up my muffin pan and make mini crustless quiches, duh.


Article & Recipe: Frumenty


Basically, the recipe is wheat pounded and seperated from its hulls, then boiled in cow or almond milk until it forms a gel, this mixture was then sweetened, spiced or coloured as appropriate to the the period. During the Medieval period it most often served without sugar with boiled venison as a type of pottage or in non-meat days with porpoise or beaver tail.
