I was in Chicago last weekend for the Home and Housewares Show . It was incredible and so fun to come back to the city. I’ve only been one other time and it was very cooold. But thankfully this weekend was filled with unusually warmer weather. I enjoy taking pics with my phone – it makes snapping quick photos much easier than pulling out my main camera sometimes and you can do so much with them using photo apps. There’s a few iphone photos mixed in this post if you’re wondering why they look a little different.
Homemade Twix Bars | Not Without Salt
If you don’t want gaggles of children beating down your door on Halloween night then look no further. If you’d rather not be the most popular house on the block then continue on your Internet search. If you aren’t a fan of a cookie crust so tender it shatters in your mouth, or a creamy caramel – dark, intense and scattered with salt, or bittersweet chocolate blended with butter to create the perfect cap to this cookie, then you might need to get checked because I think something is very wrong. If you like the idea of all these things then you are in the right spot and you are here just in time as this is the perfect cookie for this candy-laden season. While I don’t recommend passing these treats out to your trick-or-treaters as homemade treats aren’t super popular these days, save these for special guests or Halloween parties.Nigella Lawson: Nigella Lawson’s official site for recipes, books and latest news
Although this is called Kitchen Witter, I am afraid I have been banished - or have banished myself - to my Cell these past few days. Some people would call it a study or an office, but really it is a cell: no windows, no views, nothing on the walls; all there's room for is a desk, a chair and a computer. I love writing with my laptop at the… Read on
On Easter Sunday we hosted yet another Easter brunch to our dear friends - something of a tradition by now, as we've done this for almost five years, I believe (see overview of 2009 and 2010 ). This year we were twenty people in total - 16 guests and our own little family of four. We started with Mimosa cocktails , using freshly squeezed orange juice and Spanish cava. We also drank wine, apple juice and water, followed by tea and coffee later: Estonian home cheese, SÕIR , which I had seasoned with roasted caraway seeds.

Another bowl of green. Under normal circumstances I would not have immediately followed the (secretly spinach hued) pistachio pudding with a creamy bowl of broccoli soup, but it's St. Patrick's Day on Saturday and my festive food plans this year are for green novelties.

In Mama's Kitchen
In every region of the globe, in every home, women have established traditional dishes, and have handed down heirloom recipes. With nurture as their only goal, and love their only motivation, our mothers changed local foodstuffs into the great cuisines of the world. They ground grain and made it blossom into bread. They gathered beans and created soups and salads. Flour and sugar became artistic and elegant desserts. It is no surprise that we call these recipes comfort foods.
This past year was a tumble. A dive that started – what felt like – a few seconds ago. Possibly with a busy sunday lunch at the restaurant, with only Guillaume and I doing service. And to be honest we had no clue about how this whole restaurant thing worked. I remember our first ice-cream quenelles . I remember making way too much mise-en-place because we were so terrified we would run out during service.
