A perfect almond and caraway cake baked by lovely @susan.pocklington.
From the freezer: chicken, 🌶 corn and sweet potato soup with chamoy and corn chips. I used some powdered huitlacoche to intensify the stock.
This book, by @katemcdermott, has been quite the comfort these last few days. I didn't realise quite how much I look to the pie makers when life is not running as smoothly as it might. There's something special about them. Art Of The Pie is a practical guide, suitable for beginners and the more experienced baker. The photography (by Andrew Scrivani) has wonderfully clear close ups of the pie dough which is handy if you're new to this and want to know what to look out for, texture and appearance - wise. And if you're coeliac and love pie, you'll also find an entire section with comprehensive instructions on making, rolling and transferring your pastry, plus lots of recipes (Kate's gluten free flour mix, cheddar gluten free crust, all-butter crusts, a vegan version, and a nutty, no - bake crust). I am desperate to make the quince fried hand pies, an apple cranberry walnut pie, Italian nettle sausage pie, a deep and glossy Concorde grape tart, and a latticed plum pie. But until I am bipedal once more, I will have to make do with my imagination. Also: EXCELLENT BIBLIOGRAPHY ALERT ⚠
Taken before I broke my leg. (Sorry, I promise I'll stop banging on about it soon.)
New column in @buryfreepress: winter veg, nut and Comté galette with a buttermilk and cornmeal crust & some thoughts on where my recipes come from; their genealogy in a manner of speaking. Link in profile.
