• Easy, tasty dinner: I do like Sue’s idea for an easy mid-week dinner. Soba noodles, with a peanut and ginger sauce, vegetables, eggs. Lovely meal.
• Recipe nutrient information: Martha Rose Shulman has posted a piece about why she doesn’t calculate the nutrients in her recipes. The article includes thoughts from Marion Nestle as well.
• How to freeze fruit: I love this guide to freezing fruit from Pikelet and Pie. I regularly buy back-up boxes of frozen fruit. How much better to take advantage of each season’s bounty and freeze some of my own.
• Green soup with ginger: While it has a rather too healthy-sounding name, Heidi’s green soup with ginger looks like a cracker. Spinach, ginger, sweet potato and a lovely idea to include some miso.
• Nutrition podcasts: I am loving Nutrition Diva’s podcasts: quick and dirty tips. They’re short and concentrate on one topic. But most importantly Monica’s is a voice of rational, sensible-ness. Whether it’s debunking the food combining myths, looking at ways of increasing your fruit and veg intake, or talking about soy, Monica’s podcasts are well researched, well explained and interesting.
• Fig breakfast crostini: They’re not in season here for ages, but I can’t get figs out of my head. I blame Gourmet Worrier and this soup recipe but now I’ve spotted Food Blogga’s glorious breakfast using fresh figs, ricotta and honey.
