Roasted beetroot, rocket and feta salad with mustard lemon dressing

Which of the following apply to you? Please tick as many as you like. Are you…

  1. having trouble focusing your attention for more than a few seconds
  2. finding yourself tuning out in the middle of a conversation
  3. likely to have many projects running simultaneously
  4. always in a rush and impatient
  5. feeling of being overwhelmed by daily life
  6. having difficulty in getting organized
  7. having problems with time management

If  you are anything like me, you guiltily ticked all of the above.  In fact, do you even know anybody these days who doesn’t fit this description?

But fear not – you are not suffering from some rare brain disorder.  According to Key Organization Systems you are merely suffering from Modern Life Syndrome, the cumulative effect of all sorts of modern malaises.  Take attention span for instance.  Lots of new research suggests that our constant use of the internet is affecting our ability to concentrate.  We are bombarded with information and can skip with ease from topic to topic in a matter of seconds, and it turns out this overstimulation is bad for our ability to focus on one thing for any length of time.  Shocker.  Our tendency to increasingly interact with people online is also making us worse at interacting with them in person, but whereas nobody knows that you are also updating your Facebook status while Skyping with a friend, it does become painfully obvious in person when you zone out halfway through their sentence. More and more of us are involved in several projects simultaneously to try and avoid FOMO (fear of missing out),  a form of social anxiety that makes you constantly worry that you might miss an opportunity for social interaction, a novel experience, profitable investment or other satisfying event.  Apparently, according to Wikipedia, the fear is “especially associated with modern technologies such as mobile phones and social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter, which provide constant opportunity for comparison of one’s status”.  Another shocker!  And then of course there is my personal favourite, Stuffocation, a brilliant term coined by the writer James Wallman to describe the feeling of drowning in your possessions.  Why do I have such trouble in getting organised?  Oh yes – because every day I have to fight through piles of stuff that I don’t use to find the one thing I urgently need.

 

Beetroot

 

But I have a dream.  A dream in which both Nick and I turn off our computers and smartphones after 8pm and spend time actually having (gasp!) a conversation.  Where I can read a book for an hour without the irresistible urge to check how many likes my latest Instagram post has; or even where I can spend an hour writing for my beloved blog without the urgent need to check what is happening on Facebook. Where I can turn down invitations with impunity, purely because I feel like lying on the sofa with my cats eating ice-cream rather than attending a networking function. And of course, a dream where I throw out my university notes; that pair of trousers that I loved in 2001 but have not fit into since 2004; that annoying chipped salad plate; and every single piece of the 10kg of carefully saved bubble wrap in the house.  And then I serenely inhabit my clean – nay, minimalist – new dream existence, wearing clothes without droopy hems or missing buttons; sitting at a desk that is empty but for my computer, a scented candle, and a beautifully crafted pen that I can always find and that never runs out of ink; having regular long and meaningful conversations with my nearest and dearest, right after my daily hour of yoga.  With a hot twentysomething male instructor who’s a dead ringer for Theo James.

It’s a dream, right, so I may as well dream big ;o)

OK, so I may never actually achieve this goal of totally simplifying my life, but the area in which  I can and do keep things simple is in the kitchen.  After a day of shortening my attention span by switching  constantly between by day job and blogger persona, nothing is more satisfying that a simple dish for dinner – something with clear, fresh flavours and not too many ingredients.  Since Nick has started growing much of our vegetable supply on his allotment, we find that the flavours are so much fuller than store-bought vegetables that it is a pity to mask them with complicated cooking techniques and sauces.  So when he recently brought home some fat beetroots, I simply rubbed them with olive oil and tossed them in the oven to slowly roast, caramelise and intensify their flavours. Once they were done, they became the star of this super-simple salad that combines the earthiness of beet with the creamy saltiness of feta, all given a little flavour lift by the tangy dressing and sharp wild rocket. Simple perfection.

ROASTED BEETROOT, ROCKET AND FETA SALAD WITH MUSTARD LEMON DRESSING (serves 4)
Author: Jeanne Horak-Druiff
Recipe type: Salad
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 large (or 2 smaller) beetroot
  • olive oil for roasting
  • 200g feta cheese
  • 70g wild rocket leaves, washed
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) of olive oil
  • 35ml (3 Tbsp) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 heaped tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.  Trim the beets, scrub them and rub all over with olive oil. Roast in an ovenproof dish in the middle of the oven for about 90 minutes or until the beets are soft when pierced with a sharp knife. Allow the beets to cool, then peel and slice into very thin slices using a sharp knife.
  2. Divide the beet slices between four plates and arrange them in a single layer, but overlapping like roof tiles. Crumble the feta and scatter each plate with feta and rocket leaves.
  3. Place all the dressing ingredients in a bottle or shaker and shake vigorously until well mixed (adjust the oil or the lemon juice quantities if you are struggling to get it to emulsify).  Drizzle over each plate (any leftover salad dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to a week).  Serve immediately with good bread for mopping up the dressing.

    What a beautiful, simple salad – just the sort of thing needed when one is running around like a mad person trying to meet deadlines. I know what you mean about this Modern Life Syndrome – it feels like go, go, go at the moment and I just want to curl up on the couch and watch a film! Thanks for sharing my cupcake recipe too.

    Ha ha! Modern Life Syndrome hooray… and there was I thinking that those problems were me suffering from early-onset old age! The one thing I definately DO NOT suffer from is Stuffication. When we packed up our home in London five years ago, after 35 years there, tons of stuff got ditched, given to our adult children, went to charity etc, and what was left was put in store. Now I live in Beijing, the stuff in store in the uk hasn’t seen the light of day for five years and I can hardly recall what there is, let alone want it. Getting rid of ‘Stuff’ is amazingly liberating, obviously one has one or two ‘treasured’ things, but apart from that, it is just ‘stuff’. Now I don’t have to spend time looking after it, I have time for new recipes, new experiences, new places to go, new people to meet. And I am 60+, if I can do it anyone can!
    Am not sure why I am ranting on, just wanted to say I made this recipe the other evening and it was delish!! Thanks Jeanne.

    This is all so true. I am guilty of all the above, and I am sure that anyone who writes a blog and has any links to social media will feel the same. That is exactly why I look forward to holidays when I totally switch off. I have got better in the evenings but only because we have really got into Homeland so I will focus on that not my laptop! I also happen to love roasted beetroot in salads, soups and as a veggie. This salad and home grown beetroot sound perfect.

    A wise woman with a generous spirit once shared a few sobering words with me that continually redirect and steer me towards the balance that so often eludes me, “you can do all things, but not at the same time”. Your post so accurately describes our modern lifestyles and serve to remind us that every now and then, scaling back is both necessary and liberating.

What better way to celebrate the day when the clocks go forward to British Summer Time than with  a glorious photo of St Paul's Cathedral shyly peeping out from a cloud of pink cherry blossoms against a perfect blue sky! 🌸🌞

London is awash in glorious blossoms at the moment, from Greenwich Park in the east to Kew Gardens in the west, and the fun part is trying to catch each type of tree just when the blossoms are at their best.

The cherry plums have been exploding into clouds of small white blossoms and sweet fragrance for a few weeks already; and the early flowering cherry trees, camellias and magnolias are coming into their own right now. Plus we still have the late-flowering cherries, rhododendrons and wisteria to look forward to!

Do you have a favourite Spring tree or park for blossoms in London? Let me know in the comments 🌺

"The essence of being human is that one does not s "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection" 

I wonder what the author if those words would have made of the age of Instagram? We are fed an endless stream of perfect images of perfect bodies and perfect lives. In the back of our minds we KNOW this is not reality, but still the subconscious yearning for this imaginary world of perfection persists. Humans are funny that way.

But so often in life, things fall short of the perfection we imagined - seemingly perfect relationships fail, cakes look nothing like the picture in the book, clothes that looked good on the internet look ridiculous on our bodies, the wrong turn we took meant we never got to our planned destination.

Falling short of perfection is part of life. The big question is how you deal with it. Do you throw your hands up in despair and berate yourself for failure? Or do you find the positives in the imperfect outcomes of your plans? 

This photo taken almost exactly 4 years ago was meant to be a "perfect" Instagram shot of me in my signature pose, on a perfect sunny day on snowy ski slopes. Instead, as @explorista snapped the photo, our ski instructor decided to throw handfuls of snow at me - but as it turns out, this "imperfect" shot turned out to be my favourite of the day 😍

Do you find joy in life's imperfections?
What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? Up What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? 

Up until about a week ago I would have said cauliflower cheese... but all that changed when I made this low-carb cauliflower steak Welsh rarebit... I first made cauliflower steaks years ago, before cauliflower started enjoying its 15 minutes of fame, as a main course for vegetarian friends. But it wasn't till last week when I wanted to make Welsh rarebit for St David's day and discovered I had no bread that it struck me that cauli steaks would make the perfect base for Welsh rarebit! It's totally indulgent - like pouring a beery cheese fondue over your cauliflower - and totally addictive. You can find the full recipe in the link in my profile,  or SAVE this post for basic instructions! Remember to tag me if you try it -I'd love to see 😊

* Slice two 1cm steaks vertically from the middle of a large cauliflower, season and fry in  butter and oil till browning slightly.

* Oven bake for 10 mins at 200C while you mix grated cheddar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer. (The Duvel Belgian ale works a charm, BTW!).

* Spread the cheese mix generously over the 2 steaks and pop under a medium grill until golden and bubbly

You're welcome 🤩
Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if you don't speak Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
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!
