Grape Clafoutis
Thursday, September 22, 2022Clafoutis is a rustic dessert from the Limousin region in France, made with fruit that is covered with a custard batter, which is unlike a traditional custard, as it has flour in it that gives it more structure. Traditionally the fruit should be cherries, unpitted black cherries specifically. But when Autumn arrives, bake this desserts with plums, figs, grapes or use whatever fruit you have on hand. It comes together quickly with just a few ingredients, is equally as tasty warm, at room-temperatur, or chilled, and keeps well for several days.
Keto Fried Anchovies
Tuesday, September 20, 2022Anchovies are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, like vitamin A, selenium, potassium, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation in the body, among many other nutrients. Unlike salmon or tuna, the anchovies are small fish and they are low on mercury.
This makes a delicious and budget appetizer with lemon wedges and / or aioli or even as a meal with some greens aside. It's rather quick and easy to prepare if you have anchovies cleaned in your fridge ready to go. Clean the inside of anchovies well, otherwise they will taste bitter. Removing innards of anchovies takes time, but you can ask your fishmonger to clean and gut your anchovies for you.

We are used to seeing upside-down cakes with pineapple dotted cherries but this recipe with blackberries is a delicious alternative take on the classic cake. You can make this easy and beautiful cake with ingredients you have on hand. Sweet and tart blackberries flavoured with fresh savoury (or thyme) sit atop a tender melt-and-mix cake - great to take to a party or picnic. Serve it with a dollop of fresh cream or Greek yoghurt asid, if desired. I used frozen blackberries, but you can use any other fresh or frozen fruit you have.
Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl with Coconut Milk and Cacao Nibs
Friday, September 16, 2022A bowl of oatmeal is one of the healthy ways to kick start your morning. It is easy, filling, delicious and healthy without added sugar. Oatmeal is packed with fiber, which can help to ease gut problems, and provides a wealth of vitamins and nutrients that we need for a healthy and nutritious start to the day. I used coconut milk to prepare the porridge, but any milk or even water would be just fine. It's naturally sweetened with fruits, but if you really have to add a sweetener besides fresh fruit, opt for a natural one like maple syrup or honey. A teaspoon is all you need.
