You can follow my instagram where I post pictures of my cookbooks I can’t stop buying, quick reviews, and food.

Mark Kurlansky’s book has a bibliography index, recipe index, and a general index in his new book “Milk!: A 10,000 Year Food Fracas”. This is the first book by this author that I have had the pleasure of reading and I have to say, that to me, it really shows just how serious he is about finding out the history of the subject he is writing about. Mark is an American journalist and delves deep into his subject. If the history of a singular item interests you, he also has books titled “Cod”, “Salt”, and “Paper” that also delve into the history of the title. I have only started a few pages of this book, but I will definitely be sitting down to finish this. I have been incredibly captured and fascinated thus far, and I will most definitely be emailing him for a mini interview when I am finished.

If you are interested in reading this book yourself, you can find it May 8, 2018, for sale on Amazon in both hardback and ebook version. Hardback will be $29.00 and the ebook will be $19.99.  If you would like to meet the author and grab the book he will be doing a book tour!

LAVENDER-ROSEMARY-LEMON SHORTBREAD

These little cookies may not look like much, but they’re seriously some of the best ones I ever had. Improvised the recipe but here goes:

Ingredients

- 4,5 dl / 2 cups flour - 200 g dairyfree butter/margarine/other veggie fat - 0,5 dl / 0,25 cups white sugar - 0,5 dl / 0,25 cups unrefined sugar - Zest from organic lemon - Dried lavender - Dried rosemary - A little maple syrup

Instructions

Mix all ingredients except the syrup in a food processor until it’s one big lump of dough.

Roll the dough to a cylinder shape (see pics), cover in plastic and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.

Turn on the oven to 175 degrees C.

Cut the dough cylinder into 0,5 cm thick discs (well obv you can make them whatever shape you like). Spread them out evenly on a baking tray with some space in between.

Brush the cookies with a little syrup, sprinkle some rosemary on them, and bake in the middle of the oven for like… 8 minutes (keep an eye on them, it’ll differ depending on the oven etc).
