Asparagus, anchovy, lemon and caper quiche – and a book giveaway

Asparagus lemon anchovy & cap[er quiche © J Horak-Druiff 2011

 

UPDATE ON 9 SEPT:  The winner of the book giveaway is @enigmeg!  Thanks to all who entered.

Some people are way better than others at simply going with the flow. These are the people who refuse to lie awake at night worrying what the global financial crisis is doing to their pension funds and simply assume that something will sort itself out when the day comes. These are the people who decide they have always wanted to live in Paris and then one day pack their bags and arrive there, suitcase in hand, with no job and no house but a lot of optimism. These are the people who do a 6 week road trip across America and do not book a single hotel in advance, preferring to sleep wherever they happen to end up at the end of each day.

I am not one of those people.

The very idea of all that uncertainty makes me break out in hives. I plan pretty much everything down to the last letter because… ummm… I am a mild control freak? Probably. And when a friend asked me to be her official photographer at her wedding last weekend, I set about the project as thoroughly as I would any other planning exercise. I looked at hundreds of wedding photos on the internet to get inspiration and ideas. I researched and bought the right flash and the right tripod for the job. I had my second camera serviced so that it was ready as a backup. I asked my husband to be my second shooter, taking pics of the groom and groomsmen getting ready, and the church before arrived with the bride. I travelled to Lincolnshire in June for a test shoot, trying out all sorts of locations in the gardens around the venue, making sure the light was good, and trying out angles for the creative shoot. I was ready.

 

AsparagusQuicheIngredients

But as Robert Burns wrote, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. You’d think that if you planned a wedding for the Summer Bank Holiday weekend in August, you could be reasonably certain of good weather, wouldn’t you? Hah. The day of the wedding dawned not only grey but also wet. Very wet. My husband was commandeered early on in the day to fetch and carry things, so was never around to hold an umbrella over me and my increasingly wet camera. The registrar told me approximately 5 minutes before the wedding that no flash photography was allowed during the ceremony (in a very dark venue). It was too wet to go outside so we could not use a single shot we had planned in the creative shoot. All the group shots which were due to have been taken in lovely dappled light outside had to be relocated to a dark room in the castle – the same room in fact where the other 115 noisy guests were having their drinks reception, wandering into my shots, and stealing the chair that I was standing on. It was like a trailer for a movie “When Planning Goes Bad”! But will it curb my addiction to planning? Never 🙂

(In case you are wondering, depite the odds I did manage to get some great shots of the day – a few of them will appear in Saturday Snapshots this week if you are curious!)

Vanessa Kimbell is another inveterate planner. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of her recently published book Prepped, billed as a new, time-saving, inspirational and delicious way of cooking. Vanessa starts with a selection of flavours (lemon, cardamom, lavender, elderflower, chocolate etc.) and then creates basic recipes around them. The clever part is that each recipe is the foundation of two finished dishes: a chocolate ganache becomes truffles or gelato; or double up on a fruit cobbler topping and make scones. The idea is that by linking your recipes and planning ahead you can produce delicious food in less time; and that by layering a selection of signature flavours you can transform your everyday cooking into something special.

The asparagus, anchovy, lemon and caper quiche recipe I am posting today is one of three of hers using similar ingredients (the other two are a lemony asparagus couscous salad; and a grilled asparagus pannini). It’s not for the faint-hearted as the flavours are deliciously bold and fresh. I love sweet, green asparagus and in this recipe they really shine, paired with the contrasting salty anchovies and capers. And don’t stint on the lemon zest as it adds a wonderful lift to the other flavours.

 

AsparagusQuicheFinal

ASPARAGUS, ANCHOVY, LEMON & CAPER QUICHE (serves 4 as a starter)

Ingredients:

1 pack ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
1 large bunch of asparagus (young, thin spears are best)
50g tin of anchovies in olive oil
2Tbsp capers
Zest of 2 unwaxed lemons
40g fresh grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
3 large eggs
140ml milk or cream

Method:

Preheat the oven to 220C (425F). Roll out the pastry and press into a greased/non-stick ovenproof quiche dish or springform pan about 25cm in diameter. Bake in the lower third of the oven for about 7 minutes, or until puffy and golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C (350F).

Allow the crust to cool for a moment, then scatter the chopped asparagus, anchovies, capers, Parmesan and lemon zest over the pastry crust, reserving a little of the cheese and zest for the top. Whisk together the milk/cream and eggs in a bowl and pour into the crust. Top with the reserved cheese and lemon zest and bake for 25– 30 minutes until the filling is puffy and golden. Serve with salad and a dry rosé wine.

    O, o… sounds like you did not have the easiest wedding to begin with! Wow… I was already hoping that the weather on your side of the ocean was better then on ours but apparently it was worse. I’ve been really lucky so far this year (knock on wood) that all my weddings were miraculously on sunny days so no complaining here. Again tomorrow it seems to be a good day… Only a few more to go this year so I hope it keeps up.. (actually a good reason for people to hire me; I have a really good weather vibe with me..) lol..
    Dying to see some of the shots you took!

Are you a cook... or a baker? 
I fall firmly into the "cook" category. Baking is too precise, too fiddly - and best left to those with an affinity for it, I always say! But every now and then, only a cake will do. Say, for example... when you celebrate your blog's SIXTEENTH birthday!! 🎉🍾 Yes, last month Cooksister.com turned sweet sixteen, and to celebrate I baked this sticky spiced plum upside down cake. It's a very forgiving recipe and it's worth every single calorie 😁. Click on the link in my profile to see the recipe or save this post so you can find it later: https://www.cooksister.com/2020/06/sticky-spiced-plum-upside-down-cake.html

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappoint
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Anybody else got Lockdown Itchy Feet Syndrome...?? If it isn't an official disorder,  it certainly should be!

I have always been a dreamer, a planner, an explorer. Few things excite me more than stepping onto the soil of a country I have not visited before. When I am going through tough personal times, my go-to self-help therapy has always been to arrange a trip - to throw off the metaphorical bow lines and sail away to a new adventure. 
But then... Corona 😞  I can honestly say that I am enjoying working from home; enjoying having the time to run every day; enjoying cooking proper meals; enjoying my own company; enjoying the lack of FOMO. But OH MAN, I miss travel. 
This image was taken 2 years ago in St George's, Grenada - my first visit to the Caribbean but  certainly not my last. This photo has me dreaming of the day I can throw off those bow lines and travel again... How are you dealing with the lack of travel during this time?

Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the S
Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the Spring bulbs that were planted last year that have been flowering in parks and public gardens with nobody (or fewer people, anyway...) around to admire them? Spare a thought for the gardeners at Holland's famous Keukenhof who planted SEVEN MILLION bulbs last winter in preparation for the garden's annual 2-month opening... but because of Covid-19 Keukenhof did not open at all in 2020. 
But the good news is that for the first time in its history, Keukenhof was virtually open this year, meaning you can enjoy the best of the Spring flowers virtually, from the comfort of your armchair.  Keukenhof posted an amazing series of videos to their YouTube channel featuring magnificent 360 degree tours of the 2020 flowering bulbs; a run-down of the best photo spots; talks by various Keukenhof gardeners; and even a visit from Spongebob Squarepants!  You can check out their YouTube channel here https://bit.ly/2WWkahW. Or you can visit my blog  https://bit.ly/2zMgrLL  to see more of my Keukenhof images like this one of a river of tulips from when I visited a few years ago.

Have you visited Keukenhof?  What were your favourite Spring flowers? ⚘⚘⚘

When people tell me they don't like Brussels spro
When  people tell me they don't like Brussels sprouts, my inner voice always cries out the same response: oh honey, you're just doing it wrong! Sesame ginger sprouts are nutty, zingy and delicious - the opposite of the overcooked grey stinky sprouts of your youth, and so easy to make! 🔖 Remember to save this post so you can make the recipe later! The recipe is also on my blog - click the live link in my profile. 
For 4 people you need:
500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and cooked (I roast mine in a hot oven)
1 x 2cm piece of ginger cut into fine matchsticks
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Salt & pepper 
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the ginger till fragrant. Add the sprouts, mix well and heat through. Remove from heat, add the sesame oil, season and serve topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Did you know that 6 February is Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand? .

I am marking the occasion with this photo was taken just over 3 years ago on the shores of beautiful Lake Pukaki on the South Island, looking across at Mt Aoraki.  I loved my visit and planned the trip completely independently – here are some tips for anybody thinking of visiting the South Island. .
🔖Click “save” to bookmark these tips for later! ➡️ 1) Take more time than you think you need. In a week you will barely scratch the surface of the South Island - I would say 2 weeks is a comfortable amount of time. ➡️ 2) Don’t assume that summer means hot weather! Even in December (the height of summer) temperatures peak at about 21C in Christchurch. Pack layers. ➡️ 3) Do spend time in Queenstown. It is stunning and one of my favourite places I have ever visited – great for hiking in summer, skiing in winter, sailing on the lake, adventure sports and a base for many surrounding natural attractions. ➡️ 4) Take day trips from Queenstown to Milford Sound and the Franz Josef glacier (but be aware that the weather is often not great). ➡️ 5) Take a road trip! The roads are excellent and generally empty – and it means you get to pose in places like the shore of Lake Pukaki 😊 .
Have you visited New Zealand’s South Island?  Would you like to?  Let me know in the comments!

Nicole Kidman's is both hands on hips. Meryl Streep's is only left hand on hip. Victoria Beckham's is right hip out, left foot forward (and no smile!). Mine started as a joke many years ago - the earliest evidence I have is from 2005 😎 Do YOU have a signature pose? Tell me in the comments or DM me a pic!

This particular pose was struck on the @chateaulhospitalet estate in the Languedoc, looking out over @gerardbertrandwines vineyards all the way to the Mediterranean. You can read all about my stay there now on the blog - click on the live link in my profile

Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you
Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you may be surprised by the number of French words you already know: rendezvous, entrepreneur, souvenir and ricochet need no introduction. All have been adopted into English wholesale, with their original French meaning and spelling. Perhaps they should apply for settled status post-Brexit... But sometimes a word’s literal translation in French bears no resemblance to what the word has come to mean, such as canape. Although we know the word as meaning a small piece of pastry or bread with a savoury topping served at drinks receptions, the literal translation is a decorative antique sofa. When a clever chef first came up with the idea, the topping was thought to sit on the bread or pastry like a person reclining on a sofa, and the snacks came to be known half-jokingly as canapes. Fact! 
I enjoyed these very elegant canapes (LOVED the lacy little potato lattices!) with Code Rouge sparkling wine before a jazz dinner at Gerard Bertrand’s flagship wine estate Chateau L’Hospitalet in the Languedoc.  The dinner was as  spectacular as the canapes and you can read all about it on my blog now – click the live link in my profile above.

The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Ol
The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Old Spitalfields Market where this photo was taken is very much open and is one of my favourite London markets. Here are my top tips for visiting Old Spitalfields:

1.  The closest station is Liverpool Street which is only a 5 minute walk from the market.
2. It's open daily, with over a hundred stalls, but on Wednesday the focus is on fashion & on Thursday the focus is on antiques & vintage.
3. The busiest day is Sunday - get there early to beat the crowds!
4. Make sure you sample some of the excellent street food on offer - I love the 8-hour pulled pork bagels from Dirty Bagel, topped with cheese melted by blowtorch in front of your eyes; or the traditional raclette at Abondance.
5. Don't forget to check out the amazing Shoreditch street art in the area around the market, either on a tour or self-guided walk.
6. The Truman Brewery just east of Spitalfields hosts a massive collection of vintage clothes stalls, and more street food - don't miss it!

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Yo
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so... get on your way!" (Dr Seuss)

How are you starting the new decade? Staring at the mountains ahead, worrying about how hard they will be to climb and whether your shoes will be comfortable and whether it is going to rain along the way? Or striding confidently towards the mountains ahead, looking forward to the fresh air filling your lungs and the sense of purpose as your legs carry you ever higher, and relishing the prospect of an amazing view from the top?

There is no finer metaphor for life than a walk in the mountains and I have already made my choice as to how I plan to tackle the mountains of 2020. What's your choice? 
Wishing you all a very happy new year and amazing views from the top of every personal and professional mountain that you climb!

This particular mountain is in the Austrian Alps where I hiked last summer. Thanks to @thepassionatecook for the 📸!
