Rhubarb and pear muffins

“The more you learn, the more you realise how much you don’t know” goes the familiar saying – and how true it is.  I remember the first year I knew Nick and he was living in a tiny shared cottage in my hometown, while I was still living with my parents.  I knew from the start that he was super-sporty as I’d met him through a friend’s rowing club, but he was only slowly discovering how decidedly un-sporty I was.  Still, it was early days and I found everything about him fascinating.  “Come over tonight for dinner”, he’d say, “and then we can watch the Tour de France”. Ordinarily I would have laughed this suggestion off, but because the relationship was brand new, everything about him was riveting and so I found myself watching practically the entire race over the first southern hemisphere winter of our relationship. I had assumed that the tour consisted of a few dozen individual riders pitted against each other who rode their bikes as fast as they could all day every day for 3 weeks and that the first one to Paris was the winner.  Wrong. The more I got to know about the sport, the more the tactics, subtleties and personalities began to take shape, and the more I learnt, the more curious I became about the minor technicalities of the sport.  Clearly, something struck a chord because it’s 15 years on and we’re still avidly watching the Tour every July (yay Chris Froome!).

When we arrived in England, I thought I was fairly au fait with the fruit and vegetables of the world.  My mom had always cooked balanced meals with fresh vegetables and there was always fresh fruit in the house.  But as I started blogging and getting more and more interested in the fresh products not only in my new city but on all the intriguing food blogs I was discovering around the world, I began to realise how little I knew.  Durian, starfruit, cherimoyas and rambutans jostled for place alongside kohlrabi, romanesco, tomatillos and fiddleheads, opening up other worlds of taste that I’d never come across at the southern tip of Africa.  But even on supermarket shelves in the UK there were vegetables that I had never tried, either because they struggle to grow in South Africa or because they simply weren’t stocked in the stores where my mom shopped.  My mother-in-law always assured us that the difference between globe and Jerusalem artichokes was in the shape (the globes being rounder) – but upon arrival in the UK I discovered that Jerusalem artichokes had nothing to do with either Jerusalem or artichokes and were in fact tubers. Broad beans that are so much an indication of summer here in the UK were an unknown flavour to me – but it wasn’t long before I was totally hooked both on the ritual of peeling them and on their unique texture and flavour.

And then there was the perplexing rhubarb.  I had never even clapped eyes on rhubarb till I arrived in London and I suspect Port Elizabeth’s lack of discernible seasons meant that it did not grow anywhere near where I grew up.  It looked kind of like celery that had been dipped in red food colouring, but I was told that it was to be eaten sweet, like a fruit.  But the tiniest nibble on a fresh stalk made me think for a moment that I was being teased – surely nobody could seriously want to eat this mouth-puckeringly tart stalk? With this not altogether positive first impression, it’s no wonder that rhubarb and I did not make friends immediately, and I’ve subsequently found that many of my countrymen who have ended up in London shared my suspicions.  But I can assure them that once you get to know this plant a little better, you will see it in a whole new light.

5  THINGS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT RHUBARB

1. Most people know that the leaves of the rhubarb plant are poisonous – but did you know that you can use them to make an insecticide? The leaves are boiled and the liquid strained off, added to soap flakes and used as a spray against aphids.

2. You can boil rhubarb pieces in a burnt pot and the pot will be easy to clean afterwards.

3.  When actors have to simulate low background conversation, or the noise of a crowd, they repeat the word rhubarb continuously.

4.  Cooking rhubarb in copper or aluminium pots will cause it to turn an unnatractive brown because of the meta’s reaction to the rhubarb’s natural acids – use stainless steel or enamelled cast iron instead.

5.  The colour of the stalk has nothing to do with ripeness – redder stalks to not equal sweeter or riper rhubarb.  Different varieties of rhubarb produce different colours, and forced rhubarb stalks are uniformly red because of the way it is grown in the dark.

 

 

Pears © J Horak-Druiff 2013

 

One thing I do know about rhubarb is that I have learnt to love it since living in the UK.  I don’t have a huge sweet tooth and rhubarb’s appealing tartness adds a dimension that I adore to sweet dishes, like my rhubarb strawberry and ginger tarts, or my more recent spiced rhubarb and strawberry upside down cake.  Finding good rhubarb in the supermarket can be a bit of a challenge – often the stalks are disappointingly thin and bear only the faintest freckling of red.  But as many of you know, darling husband acquired an allotment in May of this year and although we have not grown our own rhubarb yet (next year!), there is a wonderful institution called the “share the surplus” table where allotment gardeners leave their surplus produce for others to take.  So while we are drowning in zucchini (and believe me, we are!!), we have no rhubarb.  But the barter economy of the surplus table has corrected that imbalance and recently I picked up some astonishingly deep red rhubarb on the table.  Unlike most rhubarb that’s only red on the outside and green on the inside, this was red all the way through the stem.  Does anybody have any idea what variety this might be?  I decided to add my rhubarb bounty to a muffin, and because rhubarb is known for pairing beautifully with other sweeter fruits, I also tossed in some sweet Forelle pears from sunny South Africa – they’re currently available in UK supermarkets and you will recognise them by their glorious pink blush. These muffins (a slightly tweaked version of this recipe) strike a perfect balance between sweet and tart, while the addition of wholewheat flour also renders them relatively healthy, without ever compromising on taste. The perfect snack when you’re tired and hungry after weeding your allotment 😉

Author: Jeanne Horak-Druiff 2013
Recipe type: Baking
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 150g (1 cup) wholemeal self-raising flour
  • 150g (1 cup) white self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 115g (½ cup) + 1 Tbsp sugar (I used golden caster)
  • 45 g (3 Tbsp) butter, melted
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 Tbsp runny honey
  • 250ml (1 cup) milk (I used full cream)
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into 2cm lengths
  • 1 pear, peeled and cut into small cubes
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190C.
  2. Stir 1 Tbsp of the caster sugar into the chopped rhubarb.
  3. Mix both flours, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg into a large bowl, then add the sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the butter, egg, honey and milk. Pour this mix into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined but do not overmix.
  5. Fold the rhubarb and pear into the mix - the mixture will be quite dense and relatively dry, rather than a batter. Don't worry! The rhubarb will release moisture as it bakes.
  6. Spoon the mixture into lightly greased muffin tins (12 standard or 6 jumbo muffin cups).
  7. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden - test by checking if a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow to fool for 5 minutes, then run a palette knife round the rip of each muffin cup and remove from the tin.

    That is so interesting. I haven’t found rhubarb yet but hoping some will catch my eye at the farmers market. I love the idea of an allotment and especially the surplus table. So cool!! xx

    I grew up with rhubarb in the garden and eating rhubarb stewed, in crumbles and pies and munching on a raw stick with the end dipped in sugar (slightly eye watering blend of sweet and sour).

    The next best thing to growing your own rhubarb is having a friend with rhubarb in her garden. I’m off to pick some today — these muffins are calling to me.

    Those muffins must taste really good. What an interesting pairing.

    Cheers,

    Oh rhubarb – that is something I miss, now you’ve reminded me again! Sometimes I can get it at Camphill market, but I almost never see it in the shops here. When I was a child it used to grow in old bottomless dustbins and back then I didn’t like it much, but now I love it with a squeeze of orange juice and a few slices of fresh ginger, as a crumble or just with a dollop of plain yoghurt for breakfast.
    Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb – I remember that when I was in the chorus/crowd of a school play way back when.
    Your allotment share table sounds brilliant.

    This is now my favourite muffin recipe. They came out soft and moist with that lovely thin biscuity layer on top. Very fruity and, just as described, the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Absolutely delicious. Thank you

As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
Me, turning around and walking out on 2020 like a Me, turning around and walking out on 2020 like a bad romance...

And while we are on the topic, can I still get a refund on the first week of 2021? Not sure it was fit for purpose... 🤣 Either way, I am putting on my brightest dress, fixing my eyes firmly on the future and walking purposefully towards it (bottle of wine optional but always welcome!). 

I don't make resolutions at new year, but I have been thinking about what positives I want to carry forward with me as I walk away from the car crash of a year that was 2020. For me, some big positives have been:

* Working from home, in terms of increased flexibility, increased productivity and increased visibility - I definitely hope never to have to work in the office 5 days a week again. 
* Better and more regular exercise. I ran 585km in 2020, probably as much as in all previous years put together - let's see what I can do in 2021!
* Better connection  and more video calls to faraway friends and family. Why have I not always made video calls?? 

I don't think we need to even mention the many negatives of the last year, but I am curious to know if you took any positives away from 2020? Let me know in the comments 🙂

Onwards and upwards!
One last look back at the kettle of crazy that was One last look back at the kettle of crazy that was 2020 before we dive headlong into 2021... 

I am guilty of not posting as much as I would have liked to in 2020 but as it turns out, I find it hard to be on social media much if I am not in a good headspace. Who knew... 😜 A lot of my posts were memories of previous trips but a huge thank you to you all for indulging my travelstalgia (if that is not a word, it should be!), coming along for the ride, liking, commenting, and sharing your thoughts. 

So I give you my #topnine2020 posts, in order of most likes over the past year. Left to right, starting top left, we have The Shard in London; my sesame ginger Brussels sprouts; Keukenhof garden tulips; Christmas at London's Spitalfields market: Carcasonne; my sticky plum upside-down cake; Singapore shophouses; Grenada harbour; and a raspberry & hibiscus G&T.

Here's to making new memories in 2021, and wishing you all a year of abundance x
So how was your Christmas day yesterday? In this So how was your Christmas day yesterday? 

In this year that has been so hard on so many people,  I hope you had somebody to share it with; enough food to feel replete; and warm place to eat. I know it was  not the Christmas that we all wanted, but it was definitely the Christmas that reminded us to count our blessings. 

One of the blessings at my table was one of the best Brussels sprout recipes I have ever had - roasted sprouts with chorizo, hazelnuts and thyme - and with only 4 ingredients, so simple to make! Trust me, you want to bookmark this one 🔖

For 4 people you need:
* 500g trimmed Brussels sprouts 
* 75g chorizo, chopped
* 15g hazelnuts
* sprig of thyme
* vegetable oil

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Halve each sprout lengthways and toss the sprouts in enough oil to lightly coat. Arrange on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast for 15 mins or until outer leaves start to brown, then turn over and roast till cut sides just start to colour (about 10 mins). 

2. While the sprouts are roasting,  toast the hazelnuts in a large dry pan over medium heat till light brown, remove and roughly crush.

3. In the same pan, fry the chorizo  till it starts to release its oil, then remove sprouts from the oven and add to pan. Mix well.

4. Tip sprouts into a serving bowl and top with hazelnuts and thyme leaves. Serve hot.
"The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoug "The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius

I think we can all agree that 2020 was not the year that we ordered and was a really difficult year for almost everyone (other than maybe Jeff Bezos...).

I could so easily dwell on all the things I have found hard this year - being separated from my family in South Africa and no realistic hope of seeing them anytime soon; no travel since Oct 2019; the social isolation of living alone in a pandemic; having friends fall ill with Covid; and the huge anxiety brought on by the uncertainty of everything and the complete inability to plan anything (hard for a planner and control freak!).

But as the quote says, think dark thoughts and your soul ends up dark. So I have chosen to dye my soul in the bright colours of things I am grateful for instead: a rewarding job that i can do remotely; amazing friends to Zoom or call around the world; a house of my own that I love; a beautiful running route minutes from my door; and a strong, healthy body.

What colour are you dyeing your soul in this Christmas?
