Over the past few weeks here in Scotland, I’ve started trying a lot of the recipes I’ve been pinning on Pinterest (instead of just having a pretty picture collection). My flat is ‘only’ student accommodation, but the kitchen is big and amazing and it’s real fun working in there (even though my utensils practically consist of a spoon and two pots). I’ve tested quite a few recipes so far, some have been great and absolutely delicious, others not so much. Either way, most of the combinations were something I would have never thought of trying before.
Since I know some of you are cooks (and Pinterest-users ;) as well, here’s a little selection of my favourite recipes in September.
+ Pear Pizza with Fried Sage: This one was a real hit! I used dried sage instead of fresh, but still the sweet and salty mix of the pear and the pizza was so. good. I will definitely try it again!
+ Healthy Chicken Enchiladas: Okay, to be honest, this wasn’t all that special or hard to make. But, it was really tasty, so I included it in this list.
+ Creamy Orzo: We used shrimps instead of chicken sausage (what even is chicken sausage?). It proofed to be a great substitute and worked really well with the orzo.
+ Mushroom and Spinach Pasta: Again, not too difficult to make, but very (very) tasty. I can imagine this to be a great weeknight staple when I’m not in the mood to cook anything difficult.
+ Chanterelle Chowder with Bacon: In this recipe I used mushrooms instead of chanterelles and left out the corn. Next time I would probably use less thyme, but other than that it’s a great recipe!
+ Charred Tomatoes with Fried Eggs on Garlic Toast: What’s better than fresh tomatoes, just-right fried eggs and garlic toast? Try it for a scrumptious brunch, it will not disappoint.
Have you tried any good recipes lately?
By the way, since I love organising absolutely everything (tiny bit of OCD here), I’ve started a Pinterest board with recipes I have tried that do actually work (and that I would totally make a second time). You can follow along over here, if you like!
