Recipe Book Challenge

If you are like me, you have a great collection of recipe books that you have never cooked from! I can tell you that the last three Jamie Oliver books in my collection have not been experimented with. So, this month’s challenge is to randomly pick a recipe from a recipe book you have not used and cook / bake it. The challenge falls over the entire month, so feel free to enter as many recipes as you would like to the linky party – which will be open from today until the 29th.

You must link back to this blog post if you are taking part, as well as include the following code in your post: (between the [ and ] and if you use wordpress, insert using the HTML page and not the visual page)

Code n.1 blogger, typepad, and all sites that accept the <script> tag

[<!-- start InLinkz script -->

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src=http://www.inlinkz.com/cs.php?id=122210&' + new Date().getTime() + '"><\/script>');</script>
<!-- end InLinkz script -->]

Code n.2 If you are on a wordpress.com blog or any system that does not permit script tags

[<!-- start InLinkz script -->

<a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/wpview.php?id=122210"><img style="border:0px" src="http://www.inlinkz.com/wpImg.php?id=122210"></a>
<!-- end InLinkz script -->]

Have a super fun time with this challenge – and there may just be a surprise of a prize!

In My Kitchen

The lovely Celia who blogs over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial, makes sure each month I share my kitchen with you! It is a great way for me to keep track of just how much I buy :)

But first, here are green beans from my garden. If it were not for Celia, I would not have planted these. But I got garden envy from all the lovely things she is growing and I decided to stop waiting for the house to be finished and get planting.

Dave moved my LG light oven by putting in a suspended shelf. It is a bit high for me, but the gain in counter top space is worth having to stand on my tippy toes to work the dial.

So now I have moved my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer to under the oven, next to my kettle and toaster (note Celia – we love Breville appliances in our home)

Dave’s espresso machine has been moved to where the Kitchen Aid was giving me a bit more space and, I can easily use the machine as it is at a better level for me.

For my birthday in July I got a blue Le Creuset spoon. As my kitchen is red, I kept it aside until I could get it swapped out.

I love cookie cutters and I use them often for making ravioli. Here are my new heart shaped ones:

in my fridge you will find the unusual ingredient of fresh milk – used to make lots of ice cream over December and January holidays.

I found this lovely proverb which is so apt, as we eat a lot of fish.

Wishing you all an amazing February :)
