Winter Light, Cooking with Massimo & Friends Part 6
It is true that until recently I have never made pasta from scratch. I bought the pasta machine, a shiny steel contraption and Jamie’s book on Italian cuisine as gifts for husband and kept my fingers crossed. He prepared the pasta mixing flour and eggs going from novice to pro within weeks so for me, why bother? However, now that ravioli presented itself in Bread is Gold page 32 to be exact well I had to test my fortitude.
Poor Mans Feast, Cooking with Massimo & Friends Part 3
No less, food has become the back bone for days spent at home, no distractions. I have been cooking, gardening, weeding, growing things like kale and spring onions, leek and delphiniums, pots of sweet peas....my own dreams of a row or two are coming to life. Somewhere in between I have returned to a few days at work and the rest is just the domestic and the creative and a cook book to ponder. A blue one since the beautiful cream cover I have set aside. I am still cooking from ‘Bread is Gold’ and trying out recipes and gaining a whole new way of looking at food and the possibilities of simple ingredients and what is possible in the day to day.
