We want to seduce you,to stimulate your imagination, invigorate your senses, and tempt you to try the wonderful flavours of Moorish food!” Greg and Lucy Malouf… from the book, Moorish ‘Moorish: Flavours from Mecca to Marrakech‘ by Greg and Lucy Malouf is every bit moorish as the title suggests.

Double Chocolate Espresso Biscotti … Eating Your Words!
“Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven.” Jessi Lane Adams Some time back I received a beautiful parcel from Asha, or the FSK gal as I call her, a NYC blogger who blogs at Fork-Spoon-Knife. There was so much excitement in my little boys’ life when the parcel arrived. He was besides himself with joy to see the contents. Some fab fresh ground coffee beans from Picollo Cafe, and a charming bottle of aged balsamic vinegar! A huge chunk of time went in the boy trying to sniff out coffee flavours, and every so often he would look at the coffee and ask me when I’d make something with it? The…

Bake something special for Jamie’s special BBD theme –“Baking…

INSPIRED BY MONSIEUR MCFRUGAL LEBOVITZ, I MADE SCONES!
“So often something like a cinnamon roll or a sticky bun is overpowering and very sweet. The subtle flavors of the scone tend to be something that our customers are really looking for.”Jamie Golladay I’m awfully sorry Mr Lebovitz, but the name Monsieur McFrugal still pops up in my mind each time I see your tweets, or read your posts. David Lebovitzs’ books are on my wishlist, and I was thrilled to find a recipe from another favourite author, Alice Medrich, on his blog. The White Chocolate & Sour Cherry Scones were inspired by an Alice Medrich recipe, an author I have come to love because of her innovative approach…

Superfood SPROUTS Salad…Sprouting healthy & tasty beans!!
“We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences. “Jane Elliot Sprouted Mung Dal Salad Fresh mint & a squeeze of lime… I posted some bits about this wonderful sprout on the CLICK post for May ’08, where the theme was ‘Beans & Lentils’. Sprouts are easy to make at home, & you don’t actually need special bowls or ‘sprouters’. I sprout the dal at home almost every week, & can hardly…
