buckwheat & rye scones

christinajbartlett — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 03:16:55 +0000

Of our many items in storage in NZ, it’s my cookbooks I most miss. Cookbooks carry so many memories – the dinners Jesse and I would bake during our first year of marriage straight from Jamie Oliver’s 30 Minute Meals, the revitalizing meals Mum and I would make for one another from The Detox Cookbook, […]

buckwheat porridge with prunes & caramelised pear

christinajbartlett — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 02:22:55 +0000

It’s not evident, but this buckwheat porridge is riddled with prunes. Sticky, black and plump. My mama always said prunes are good for the bowel. Mum and Dad thought of things like that. Drinking water is good for headaches. Prunes or figs for moving things through the body. A bowl of oats before bed to […]

The mornings are getting cooler here. We woke up to a chilly 5˚C on Sunday. Lovely and fresh, tickling our eagerness for our first arctic winter. Chilly mornings foster one’s delight in a warm breakfast, don’t they? They sure do for us – as we anticipate the winter to come, bringing plenty’a bowls of porridge […]

buckwheat crépes with wilted greens & feta

Buckwheat crépes are brilliant – nutty, tasty and full of nutrients. We love buckwheat in it’s whole form, as in buckwheat porridge. But milled into a powdery meal it is much more versatile and can be used in place of your usual wheat flour in almost any recipe, bringing a hearty, earthy taste and a […]

buckwheat porridge

On a recent work trip to Hay River, Jesse splashed out and bought me a recipe book. My collection here is very minimal, having left my much-used, beloved cookbooks in storage in NZ (save a few I snuck into Mum’s collection to encourage her to get into Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute meals, and Kim Boyce’s […]

pear & buckwheat pancakes with honey butter

christinajbartlett — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 04:23:46 +0000

You may be wondering where my fascination with Kim Boyce and Good to the Grain has gone. Or.. you may not be. I’ll tell you anyway. Nowhere! It’s still my favourite recipe book and it sits perched on its cookbook stand (one of those oh-so-useful wedding presents) peering at me everyday (even from our bed […]

buckwheat & port-soaked figs

christinajbartlett — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:36:24 +0000

The smell emanating from the kitchen as these figs poached in a syrup of port, red wine, star anise, cinnamon and cloves was a true delight. J and I found ourselves dunking our finger in to ‘taste’ far too many times.. The smell emanating from the oven while these bad boys got their baking on […]
