I saw an episode of Jamie Oliver’s American Food Revolution, where they were teaching people to cook corn on the cob with chili and lime. The flavour combination inspired these. They work really well.
This toast topping has been a favourite for a few weeks now.
My new favourite breakfast is sourdough cottage cheese pikelets (or hotcakes if you are in USA).
I’m harvesting squash, tomatoes and capsicum from the garden, so this is my current favourite breakfast.
The picture doesn’t really do justice to the hearty, spicy, creamy goodness of this. It is one of my favourite breakfasts, and so fast and easy I often make it just for me.
Buckwheat isn’t actually a cereal, but seeds of a flowering plant from the smartweed family (which also includes weeds like dock and three cornered jack, along with rhubarb and sorrel). It is supposed to be easy to grow in the garden in the right climate – but mine isn’t right.
The first of the new season apples have just arrived at our local Farmers Market, coming down from the Tablelands (within our 160 km range as the crow flies), and there are still some late season peaches too, so just for a few weeks the seasons overlap.
Banana season peaks in February in this part of the world (northern NSW).
I’m picking sweet corn in my garden at the moment, and even if you aren’t growing it, you should be able to find it in season at your local Farmers’ Market. This is my favourite breakfast at the moment.
Paw paw and citrus flavours go so well together, and luckily I have the last citrus of the season – late mandarins and pomelos – still picking.
