A Year's Worth of Eating

So many recipes, so much good produce, so little time to eat it all. Kes has far, far too many cookbooks. Not that it stops her from buying more. The idea of dinner is one of the few things that motivates her in the mornings. Just to monitor exactly what goes on in her life, she is sharing her food year. Her Significant Other will make regular appearances, but honestly, you do not want to know what he eats for lunch. Never buy a cook book that doesn't have an author.

I've found a kindred spirit

Over the past couple of weeks I've been trawling around looking for bread recipes, as I wait for my copy of Rose Beranbaum's Bread Bible to arrive. This is how I found my current favourite blog ~ Bread Basketcase. Marie in Minnesota is baking her way through the very same book. Every recipe. She's a great writer and is turning out some fab looking bread.

She inspired me today to give the Sourdough a go. So, lurking in Chris Manfield's Spice I found a recipe for a sourdough starter based on Lionel Poilâne's methods.

So I've made this gooey mess which is living under a damp tea towel in the loungeroom for a couple of days. We shall see!

And the other photo is the cat. Her eyes were looking particularly opal like so I thought I'd share.

Also just letting you know I have tagged you for the recipe meme : ); 8:45 pm
