I’m keeping the snowy graphic for now as it snowed here big time at the weekend. Roll on spring.
- Use your loaf and minimise food waste with a seasonal take on panzanella, a traditional Italian salad just made for using up slightly stale but otherwise good quality bread. Deb at Smitten Kitchen has made a spring panzanella with asparagus, leeks and white beans. I love Deb’s idea of rounding out the original recipe with a bit of protein by adding a can of beans.
- 3 meals from one chicken – David Latt writes on the NY Times Bitten blog about being the perfect house guest and cooking three meals from one chicken as a thank you to his hosts. He can come stay with me any time!
- Use it all up vegetable pancakes from cookinpanda are a nifty way to make good use of all of those vegetable odds and ends in the fridge, served with a delicious avocado and ginger yogurt sauce
- Go Emma! Hollywood’s obsession with size zero has gone a bit too far of late so kudos to British actress Emma Thompson for taking to task the producers of her latest movie, Brideshead revisited, after telling teeny-tiny co-star Hayley Atwell that she had to use weight. And winning!
- Trends in traceable and accountable food production continue to develop apace, including this frozen creamed spinach from Iglo. Buyers can enter a tracking code from their packet to get a profile of the exact farm that their batch of spinach came from. Expect to see more of this sort of labelling in the future.
Fruit friendly lunchbox made by Concentrate (see picture) comes with two built in protective fruit compartments and a thermospot to tell you if your sarnies have overheated. You can even buy a matching neoprene cooler. Concentrate’s Design for Education range is aimed at school children, though I can’t see why I can’t have one too…
- You don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy these quick but nutritious meal suggestions from Ben Greenfield on Trifuel, including a healthy alternative to soothe those Reese’s peanut butter cup cravings using yogurt, peanut butter and dark chocolate
