Spinach and Parmesan Soup

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Noémie's Kitchen

English large-leaf spinach is in season and these beautiful bunches have seduced me over and over for the past few weeks. I have probably bought more than 4 kilos so far and as long as they look and taste like this, I will continue! They have firm and dark green leaves with crunchy stems and they taste sweet and earthy, simply delicious. You can make a gratin with bechamel, add them to a quiche, stuff ravioli along with ricotta or simply wilt them and eat with a poached egg and smoked salmon. It’s Winter so I am giving you a soup!

Garden preparations

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Noémie's Kitchen

I have been so busy with work these past few months and I can see that my blog is suffering. This week end though, I was not working but I have another excuse… it’s sunny! London was hot hot hot! Sun shining, blue sky, and a really really messy garden!! So with that BBQ we have planned to host next week end, there was only one thing to do: GARDENING! Quick breakfast, garden clothes and crocs on, it is time to invest some time on these herbs, tomatoes, rhubarb, beans and much more that will eventually end up in my recipes!
