The Bread Series

 

This collaboration has definitely taken me down memory lane to boarding school and college days. As mentioned before about the café near my boarding school where I had lunch every Saturday – is also where I discovered that croissants can be made into very good sandwiches. It’s been a long time since I had one – simply because my body cannot afford croissants anymore. But in school – well, honestly I couldn’t afford it then either, but motivation to stay healthy was almost nil!

This croissant was filled with the most delicious mayonnaise-drenched egg salad (because a croissant def needs more calories!) and crisp lettuce, tomatoes and occasionally, a slice of Swiss cheese. It’s no wonder my love handles have never disappeared! Heart attack on a plate perhaps, but I can assure this was THE most delicious sandwiches I ever had, with me left licking mayonnaise off my fingers.

Now, today, umm… I’m not going to commit this sin anymore, no. I must resist. So instead I’m still playing on the same lines, but with healthier options, save for the buttery flaky croissant – because let’s face it, some things are better left as original.

Le Artisan Boulangerie’s croissant is ideal for this sandwich in terms of size and of course, taste. To replace the mayonnaise, I use hung curd with some garlic, salt, pepper and spring onions (Easiest Spring Onion Dip). I use boiled egg slices, crisp lettuce and really, that’s about it. You could add a tomato, and even a slice of cheese – it all depends on the size of your thighs and love handles!

Whatever you do, the croissant is so delicious, you simply can’t go wrong!

(PS. Le Artisan Boulangerie also has THE BEST CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS IN AHMEDABAD!!!!)

Cheese on Toast

This is a classic British snack inspired recipe - a mix between Welsh rarebit and cheese on toast - which is an open faced toast with a medley of melted cheese and dash of Worcestershire sauce. i add an egg into the cheese mix to help with setting of it, to add a bit of protein and to get that quiche-y type of topping! to this mix i also add a touch of mustard (English mustard is preferred!) for that little kick.

This is the best recipe I've ever discovered. As kids, my brother and I gorged on flaky-but-sturdy cheese straws on the streets of London. Perfectly seasoned, crispy cheese on top and toasted sesame seeds, peppery rosemary - oh my - so so divine! I adapted a recipe I found whilst scrolling Instagram and found this too good to be true. So a Saturday morning when I had three little children under my wings, I set about this recipe - and my God, it worked! It's a dleight to eat, and great to make with the kids!

Roasted chickpeas caught my eye on Instagram and the rave around it got me intrigued. Now I know we have the fried chickpeas in chakna snacks, and all that jazz, but roasted? It sounded like a hell of a lot of work. But when faced with a dabbo of boiled chickpeas, and in no mood to make hummus, I thought, let me give this recipe a go. Fairly straightforward, the steps are easy. The seasonings I chose made them even more delicious, and yes, they were crunchy and delicious. But I thought a little more crunch would have been great, so I added a little hint of rice flour to the next batch. Once they are out of the oven, stir with the rest of the seasonings, and in my opinion, eat straight away, warm and full of flavour and love. Don’t bother placing in a jar and storing – it doesn’t last long enough.
