Anchovy and Onion Pizza

I adore anchovies. I like using them subtly in dishes for the umami, but I love using them straight, as I do on pasta or as a pizza topping.

Breakfast Feast

Here was today’s breakfast feast. Featured are warmed grilled pork, fresh myzithra cheese drizzled with olive oil and dusted with oregano, scrambled eggs with feta and myzithra, a bowl of caramelized onions. The star of the show was the foccacia bread made using Bob’s Red Mill’s pizza crust mix. Not pictured are the mimosas, hot tea and thyme honey. I enjoyed the bread with lots of butter and honey.

Cevapi with Quick Pickled Onions

Recently, my office just did something we hadn’t done in three years–have a potluck lunch together.

Because the World Cup was on, we made that our theme. We wrote out the names of the 24 countries that made the cut on slips of paper and then passed around a bowl for people to choose a slip from. My slip read “Serbia” and I knew immediately that I would make a version of cevapi, their spiced meat sausages.

Omelette with Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions and Cheese

I just made this omelette and it was incredibly tasty. Its execution was far from technically perfect (I should have used a different pan), but my mouth couldn’t tell the difference.

I had some leftover mushrooms that had been fried in butter with garlic, salt and pepper and some leftover caramelized onions. I also had already grated pecorino romano, so with very little effort today, I got to both gain fridge space and eat a fantastic breakfast. Win-win.

Roast Duck with Spicy Marmalade Sauce

There are certain activities that help keep me sane—such as walking, reading, taking photos, writing—and during the pandemic, I have been trying to make them a priority. One of these activities has always been creative cooking—me, in the kitchen, experimenting away. This blog was born purely so I could blend cooking, photography and writing all together.

Pepperoni Pizza!

I had been craving pepperoni pizza for a while now, but could never find gluten-free pepperoni when I remembered to look for it. Then I finally found some made by Piller’s. I used it to make this pepperoni, jalapeno and onion pizza.
