I seem to spend a large proportion of my waking hours thinking about food, reading about food, preparing food and eating said food. When I am not in food mode I am knitting, sewing or asleep.
Here are a few recent posts that have caught my eye that I hope to persue or cook later this month.
Nutrition Unplugged has written about how fresh green chickpeas are the new edamame. I love edamame and adore chickpeas, I just need to source some in the UK now.
The Happy Herbivore has made butterbean cookies. I have made two versions of black bean brownies and following on with bean cookies seems perfectly logical to me!
I am delighted that Everyone Likes Sandwiches has solved my cabbage problem with a feta and lime cabbage slaw as well as a host of other cabbage recipes.
A Rather Unusual Chinaman has made Gin & Tonic Gummy Sweets! I think that these are a must make and I am pondering making a sloe gin version?
Finally my sourdough starter has started a family and has a baby that is being lovingly cared for by Fingers and Toes, here is her sourdough breakfast with homemade marmalade.












I wonder if the gin and tonic sweets can be made with vegetarian jelly? Probably not, it doesn’t tend to get along with alcohol.
Those chickpeas look amazing.
