An exceptional bread, made with sourdough, with a fresh, smooth and tender crumb and cracking crispy crust. Using old bread to make new bread is certainly nothing new. The practice of adding an “old bread soaker” to dough has been used in Europe, especially Germany, for hundreds of years.
A soaker is when an ingredient soaks in water for a period of time. The process lasts anywhere between 2 and 20 hours before adding to the dough. It enhances the flavour of the ingredients, prevents dry ingredients from soaking up water in the dough, and allows large grains to be used for making bread. Typical ingredients that are soaked include grains (cracked, whole, flour and flakes), seeds and many more. Here I am using old bread that has been diced and toasted. It’s a great use for leftovers from previous bread and also gives a depth of flavour to the new breads with a moist crumb and helps the water absorption of the dough and thus, improve the shelf-life of the bread.
An autolyse(oh-toe-lease), aka autolyze, autolysis, or dough autolysis, is the gentle mixing of the flour and water in a bread recipe, followed by a 20 to 60 minute rest period before adding other ingredients. This hydrates the flour, which encourages enzymes to begin gluten development. Salt can be added at autolyse, along with your sourdough starter. Autolyse hydrates the flour, which encourages enzymes to begin gluten development, which makes the dough less sticky and more workable. Besides that, the bread using autholyse will look nicer, taste beter and keep longer.

This yeast brioche dough is the perfect base for fruity buns. Apricots or peaches are the ideal accompaniment: a creamy well-scented coconut pudding cream goes perfectly with the juicy and slightly tart stone fruit, while almonds provide the crunchy component. They are great for in between meals, but are also delicious for breakfast. You can made the pudding cream ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days and use regular milk instead coconut milk if desired, and flavour it with vanilla or rose water. They are best served fresh, slightly warm, or at room temperature.

This delightfuly and complex midsummer salad hits all the taste notes by using endive for the bitterness, tri-coloured lettuce for freshness, Roquefort, one of the most-prized French blue cheese for the saltiness, fersh apricots and honey for the sweetness and lemon for the tartness. Perfect to serve as a delicious meal or as a side dish. Roquefort, a world-famous blue cheese with pungent smell and a sharp tang, is traditionally made of sheep's milk. If you find this "King of Cheeses" is too strong for your taste, use other types of blue cheese or creamy tangy Lesbos Feta.

This easy Berry Crumble is loaded with juicy berries and topped with a sweet nutty buttery topping. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, custard sauce, or just simply with a dust of confectioner's sugar.
If the berries are still tart, you might want to add a bit more sugar or maple syrup. Both fresh or frozen berries work for the recipe. No need to thaw the berries if using frozen.

I often make this colourful summer squash casseole during summer months when they are in peak season or when I am looking for something healthy, flavourful and delicious for the family.
This classic summer meal couldn't be easier to prepare. Start by slicing the zucchini and tomatoes (about 1/4-inch thick) and place them in a baking dish. Prepare a Parmesan cheese and pork rind topping (use regular breadcrumbs if you ain't on keto) to scatter over the vegetables. Bake the casserole in oven until the crumb topping is golden and crispy. Enjoy!

Raw, healthy, low calorie and gluten free! This easy vegetarian soup recipe is perfect for a refreshing summer lunch and a great way to use up ripe apricots (or peaches, cherries, watermelon, and strawberries). Use less water if you prefer a thicker soup. Serve with some crispy spiced peas for the crunch or just a couple of slices of apricots. Feta would be another good choice to use as a topping.

It makes an impressive, delicious appetizer, side or snack that couldn’t be easier to make. The combination of warm, sweet, juicy tomatoes and creamy, salty, tangy whipped feta dip is just sensational. I used some locally grown tri-coloured cherry tomatoes from our farmer market (it's even better if you grew them), but conventional red cherry tomatoes will work just fine.

Decadent pork rind-crusted goat cheese on a bed of arugula (any baby green will work though) and cherry tomatoes tossed in a light honey vinaigrette, scattered with candied pecans.
Slicing the fresh goat cheese can get a little messy, if it crumbles, just press the rounds back into the correct shape before coating with beaten egg and pork rind. The goat cheese cooked in airfryer will come out perfectly crunchy on the outside and warm, creamy on the inside.

This is such a delicious and easy recipe that is great for any occasion. It's moist, flavourful, perfectly dense, filled with leftover white chocolate eggs, dried fruit and topped with lots of M&Ms. One of the keys to getting a natural, strong banana flavour and a tender texture is to use over ripe bananas. I used erythritol, a sugar alcohol which has a very similar taste to sugar, to sweeten the bread, feel free to use regular white sugar instead. Store any leftover banana bread slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

With this simple recipe, the creamy chanterelles become particularly fine. The fragrant mushrooms in cream sauce taste mild yet very flavourful at the same time. The creamy chanterelle is very versatile and goes well with many dishes (pasta, dumplings, chicken or steak).
I usually use a brush and wet towel to clean the chanterelles. But if you pick them up in the woods, you might want to rinse them thoroughly under water, then use a salad spinner or gently pat them dry with towels. You can also wash the chanterelles, leave them in the fridge overnight to dry out and cook them the next day.
