Firmly on the Blood Orange bandwagon and no sign of jumping off! Last week I made this really easy upside down cake and topped it with blood oranges. It’s sticky and sweet, and if you choose the juiciest blood oranges then you’ll get the prettiest topping. The hardest part is making the caramel – but really, as long as you’re not tempted to stir, it’s a doddle. 🙂
This Blood Orange Curd would be great in a cake, but a hefty dollop makes a great topping for a hot bowl of porridge. It’s got a strong, citrus taste (as you’d expect) which is sweetened slightly by the addition of a little rosewater. Just in time for a Valentines Day breakfast in bed. ♡
I absolutely love cauliflower in a curry (my mother-in-law makes the best Aloo Gobi) and Chana Masala is always on the menu if we eat out at an Indian restaurant. So, why not put the two together, eh? This cauliflower and chickpea curry is a quick and easy meal to whip up, and a damn tasty treat for lunchtimes when you fancy something warm and comforting to eat. 🙂
It’s the little things that tend to keep me going this time of year. You know, something decent to binge watch away those dark nights, fresh recipes to try, colourful spring fashion, and a good ol’ routine that’ll help me keep on top of things – as well as slicing in a little time to do the things I really love.
It feels so good knowing that we’re winging our way into Spring. Soon – we’re not quite there yet – which means a few more weeks of dark mornings, dark circles and deathly pale skin, and that means a shakeup in the ol’ makeup bag. It’s working so, so hard right now, let me tell you!
