Yes, 3 days and 3 new recipe ideas. It’s crazy, I can’t believe the person I’ve turned into. Mainly living between the kitchen and my laptop I finally have the time to spend with my one and only true love - food. Today on the menu we have a creation inspired by the random stuff I had in the kitchen - avocado, sweet potato, orange, cilantro. Just by looking at all the ingredients it gave a hint of Mexico and that’s how a came up with this tangy orange salsa. Of course, I didn’t have any nacho crisps hanging around, so I decided to sweet potato patties instead. They turned out to be the perfect match because of their sweetness, which balanced out the tangy, spicy taste of the salsa and the sourness of the lime avocado mousse. A combination to die for. But enough with the rambling let me share with you how it’s done:
Continuing with the fall mood and the nostalgia for home, I am scrolling on my phone and going through pictures from last year. I don’t know if its just me, but one thing I really like doing is looking at pictures from last year and analysing how my life has changed for one year. It’s a bit early in the morning, so I am not going to start my day with deep existential thoughts. I much prefer to begin it with something tasty and mouthwatering. I stumbled upon this photo from a food photoshoot we did with @teodora.has.a.story, and o I could taste this fall dish even by just peeking at the screen. I don’t know why I hadn’t uploaded it back then, but I guess it was due the lack of time and organizational skills I had back then. Things have changed now, so here I am, a year later, sharing with you this delicious pumpkin white bean dip. Make it for a dinner party or snack at work, whatever the reason is; I can guarantee it will be good.
Starting the week off with a nostalgia for the weekend and a memory of the divine taste of the French toasts I made for the weekly Saturday brunch. Whenever I have people over, I see this as an opportunity to create something new and experiment in the kitchen. Usually, what inspires me are my friends and their food preferences. Since my friend @asiakaisia is a true fan of apricots, the dish had to contain them. The first thing that came to my mind was grilling and putting them on toast smudged with ricotta. But to make this sweet treat even better, I soaked the bread in a delicious custard and fried it to get that soft and crunchy feeling. Hands down, this might be one of the best recipes I have developed, so that I couldn’t resist but to share it with you.
