Plum Pickle

🥳 that feeling when you’re hungry and remember you have leftover food from an Ottolenghi-themed dinner party. Plus homemade raisin nut bread. Here’s to more Middle-eastern food in 2023. 🥳 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2GAA-vrwk4nZyHEsPmGbqz_Oa0k2JfDgqrfE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GF chocolate pecan shortbread and cinnamon raisin walnut bread (recipes from @cannellevanille Bakes Simple). It’s ok to eat 10 cookies, right? https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVxd3nrVn2HWkVd6502vLo_dyNqtZvmP68_wM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tried a new recipe for GF bread courtesy of @theloopywhisk. The boule was small with very high hydration (meaning it never stopped sticking to my hands, and I couldn’t properly shape it), but it turned out great! Recommend this cookbook for any GF bakers out there. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkzXk8HJ4eN0UBD_emPq8POCLv-ieLREfDzJA40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fall is here, finally. I’ll be home, decked out in my finest pajamas, cooking up root vegetables and other hearty meals for the next many months. Pro tip: roasted turnips are delicious, especially when served with sautéed turnip greens. #hungrywomandinner #fakesausage #carrotsoup #saltedhoneypiewithbuckwheatcrust #biggirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CkAFfAXrBJ9t6XqD6PgntxcKn9xZtUWQj23reE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These smoky skies keep me busy in the kitchen. Highlights this week: baked mushrooms in a garlicky tomato herb sauce, a brown rice and sorghum flour sandwich loaf, spicy garden arugula with lemon and olive oil, pickled green tomatoes, green tomato chutney, roasted root veg with puffed (fried) brown rice and garlic confit dressing, nectarine pear crumble with buckwheat oat streusel, and maybe a little bit of orange wine. Plus Monty. I’ll take it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwkpB7r8z15VN0pOcPpbYHx0byyIHnQWyrDH40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes I don’t know if there’s a better meal than bean tostadas, shown here with shredded romaine and carrots, salsa, and cheddar, broiled and then topped with cilantro and hot sauce. It’s infinitely adaptable, very cheap, super quick to make, and incredibly delicious. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZDB-biv_fan4t6T7u6OHcHwS3LMqbZA47__UM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Late-summer food dump. Having a vegetable garden has completely and positively impacted the way I eat. Pretty much every meal lately includes garden-fresh food. Right now it’s tomatoes and green beans in everything. A month ago it was cucumbers and zucchini. And herbs, which are wickedly expensive at the store, are plentiful. Thanks little garden! #diggingit https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2fNZlv4zDQ0AOeyv55yF9SXYTgK3sRizvy6o0/?utm_medium=tumblr
