It’s the second day of the year and we’re now two-for-two for excellent lunches.\u00a0 Yesterday my parents came for lunch (it was my mum’s birthday) and we had a summer veggie galette<\/a> with a salad and some champagne not drunk on NYE, and then honey cake<\/a> with spiced apples, vanilla ice cream and a great bottle of gewurztraminer my sister had given my parents on her last visit home.\u00a0 I’d forgotten how great the galette is – an olive oil yeasted dough, easy and quick, that always cooks into a springy and golden crust for all kinds of vegetable pies.\u00a0 I used to make a galette every month or so when we lived in Brighton and they need to come back into rotation.<\/p>\n

And today we had a surprising win with a frittata put together from an almost empty fridge.\u00a0 Normally I make frittatas with more vegetables – steamed sweet potato and greens, or sauted capsicum and zucchini.\u00a0 But all we had was chives, flat-leaf parsley, scallions and feta so that was what went in, along with 4 eggs and some salt and pepper, into a wee frypan.\u00a0 It was quite thick, so we cooked it on a lower temperature than usual to try and set the middle before blackening the bottom; browned the top under a grill while the middle was still a bit liquidy; then left it to sit off the heat with a lid over the top for a couple of minutes to finish setting. It was really perfect – light, almost fluffy, not tough like they can sometimes be, and with a lovely delicate flavour.\u00a0 I realise that this is no real recipe, but I’m making a note of it to remind myself to try cooking frittatas more slowly over lower heat in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
