Yes, I promised to post on Tuesdays. About something. Anything. Maybe food. Maybe events. Maybe activities. Maybe the weather. Who knows.
Let’s start with tomatoes. We have tomatoes.
Lovely little cherry tomatoes. Ripening on the windowsill. I still pick them just about when they are ready, to avoid bug damage.
The crazy little ones on the left are called tomatoberry garden. They look like strawberries, with a pointy end.
I did get one Scarlet Red tomato the other day. Other than that, lots of green tomatoes on the main plants. I put in 30 plants this year. I know that is obsessive, but I still try to achieve that blue ribbon for heirlooms at the county fair.
Changing the subject.
Why doesn’t grocery store celery look like this?
Why do they cut away the leaves, which add so much flavor to soup? I will quickly blanch, then rinse and freeze these beauties in order to make chicken stock this winter.
The final tidbit? Cauliflower cake.
An Ottolenghi creation. From his book, Plenty More. One of the highlights of a month long cooking spree using any of his books. The recipe is here.
It’s a show stopping recipe that will impress anyone when you serve it.
