NY Bagels For Brunch

NY Bagels For Brunch

When you can’t be in New York, bring New York to you! I’ve been craving bagels for ages! I think it started somewhere between Instagram feeds and Hart of Dixie re-runs! I found the most amazing, authentic East Coast Bagel recipe and I’m happy to report that my bagel craving has finally been satisfied! These buggers bagels take a long time to prepare, but trust me when I say they are totally worth every mouth watering bite! Serve them warm; with cream cream cheese, home made marmalade and steaming hot tea. Check out the recipe and instructions below, and my slightly adapted ingredients list that I’ve converted to metric for us local gals. Oven Temperature: 230ºC You will need: To make the Biga 550 grams bread flour (keep more aside and add if you notice that the mixture is too runny) 1/4 teaspoon instant packet yeast 350ml warm water 2 teaspoons honey Final dough 100 grams bread flour 2 Tablespoons warm water 2 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon honey Topping sesame seeds Try it out and let me know how yours came out xo D

Le Creuset Love

Le Creuset Love

I’ve always loved the look of Le Creuset cast iron pots and their saucepans! When we moved into our new place (almost two years ago),  I really started to lust for Le Creuset in my kitchen! Being very country/ gourment style, Le Creuset really suits the look of my kitchen. Plus it is awesome to cook with! Last week, I bought my very first piece of this fabulously French brand – A gorgeous Le Creuset Rectangular Grill in cobalt blue. It was a toss up between the grill and the very versatile Marmitout sauce pan, but considering that I make steak like every single day of the week, I went for the grill. It makes the most amazing steak and pork fillets! Yep, I used it twice this weekend :). I love how it gives meat that lovely char-grilled burn, and how you can take it from stove-top to table-top, and enjoy watching your food sizzle before you tuck in! Another thing that sold me on the rectangular grill is that the size and shape is also perfect for fish. I attempted the recipe in that Le Creuset had for this piece, Chargrilled Steak With A Fresh Herb Salsa, Roast Potatoes and Grilled Asparagus, using lean pork fillets instead of beef steak. Sadly I couldn’t find  fresh asparagus…
