I know some people donā€™t really like the word ā€œmoistā€, but there truly is no better way to describe this rhubarb cake ā€” it is absolutely, positively, wonderfully moist ( to those who hate the word, I hope youā€™ll forgive me for using itā€¦ twice ). ā£plus: itā€™s really easy to put together, and you only need one bowl for mixing so clean-up is a breeze ! ā£itā€™s also delightfully scented & spiced thanks to the addition of cardamom, ginger + orange zest, and if you like all of these flavours I really really really think you should try making it. even if you *donā€™t* like all those flavours, I really think you should try making it ! the recipe offers suggestions for flavour substitutions so nobody has to miss out šŸ™‚ ā£ ā£ you can find the link for it in my bio, comme dā€™habitude šŸ’›
homemade wild garlic gnocchi in a simply superb le homemade wild garlic gnocchi in a simply superb lemon butter sauce, i.e. fluffy little pillows of delightāœØā£ā£ ā£ā£ followed @juliusrobertsā€™s instructions to the letter and they worked out beautifully !ā£ā£ the nutmeg, the lemon zest, the parmesanā€¦ every ingredient truly felt right at home on the plate. ā£ā£ ā£ā£ p.s. it took me an embarrassingly long time to edit this cooking process, so if you wanna make a similar dish but donā€™t have access to wild garlic anymore, feel free to use another leafy green and sautĆ©e some garlic into the sauce at the end (and if you just want to watch the video that took me forever to edit, Iā€™d appreciate that toošŸ„²šŸ’› itā€™s over in my stories / highlights)

a gentle reminder that radishes are complex, multi a gentle reminder that radishes are complex, multi-dimensional characters ā¤ļø and that they deserve to be respected as such! ā£ ā£ in other words: they want to be enjoyed cooked as much as raw ( if not more soā€¦ if you think you donā€™t like radishes, it might just be that you donā€™t like raw radishes! )ā£ ā£ so roast them! grill them! steam them! stew them! cook them fast, cook them slow. cook them high, cook them low!ā£ ā£ these radishes were boiled/steamed/sautĆ©ed in a little pot on medium-high heat, along with a shallow amount of water and about a tablespoon of butter. left to cook until the water evaporated, then seasoned with a quick splash of vinegar and a pinch each of sugar & salt, all before being garnished with fresh herbs + a fine sprinkling of sea salt ā£ ā£ cā€™est tout! serve as a starter, a side, or simply enjoy as a snack :)
