Kale crisps!



Kale is a favourite of ours when we are in London and whilst it is no longer trendy in the food fashion world - yes I hear you, food-trend police: kale is sooo three years ago, darling - we still love it. Not boiled, not steamed, not stir fried, but baked in the oven with a generous coating of olive oil, salt and pepper (and a dash of cayenne if you dare) until crispy and a tad brown (10-15 mins in a 190degree oven).

No longer en vogue but still oh-so-yummy, darling, and even the non-veg eater grudgingly succumbs to it, so there!

Larousse has arrived!



It's here! And it's Friday! What more could a girl want?

Except for...I have had it for a full hour and a half so why haven't I even taken the plastic off it? Should I not rip it apart and start devouring it, feeling blessed for every nugget of wisdom it imparts me?

Could it be "Fear, plain old fear" ..?

Perhaps I should start with La barefoot contessa!
