Gather Food, Flowers & Friends
This cornbread recipe comes from an old cookbook that my mum brought back from Norris, Tennessee. It’s absolutely foolproof, making a beautifully rich and flavoursome dishful every single time.
Made with either regular or goat’s milk yogurt, this lemony herb-topped cake is light, fluffy & flavoursome, making it an ideal way to end a meal with friends.
Americans are good at salads. Salad in the States doesn’t really mean ‘greens’. It means a big plate with a combination of tastes, textures and temperatures – fresh fruit; raw vegetables; salad leaves; a protein; something crisp and a great dressing to bring it all together like Poppyseed, Thousand Island, or the simple perfection of buttermilk-based Ranch.
More importantly, Americans understand how to bring all of these elements together with a dressing, be it poppyseed and peach, Thousand Island (good in its own retro way) or a simple, buttermilk-based ranch
If you like strong, savoury flavours as much as I do, Skordalia is for you. It’s a robust, delicious, and, until you know what’s in it, slightly perplexing Grecian garlic and potato dip, which definitely qualifies as a ‘more than the sum of its parts’ food.
Until I tried this ice cream, I never really realised how much I liked the flavour of oats, or even that I could recognize ‘oat’ as a distinctive taste. Oats have a lovely flavour though, with a full, rich, biscuity taste when toasted; creamy and calming when infused with the milk in this lovely ice cream.
