My Favourite Food Blogs

I love making recipes from my favourite food blogs. There are two blogs I absolutely love.

Alexandra’s Kitchen sends me mouth-watering step-by- step pictures of beautifully simple and delicious recipes. These pop into my inbox weekly and make me want to head home and start cooking straight away.

I recently tried her (very naughty) croque-monsieur recipe which made for an incredible brunch with my housemates.  

This weekend I decided to try some recipes from my other fave blog: Eat Like a Girl. Niamh Shields is always posting great restaurant reviews and interesting recipes. I love her ideas often based around home comforts with a twist.

On Saturday I tried her peanut butter noodles with prawns. It was quick and easy to make and the rich, spicy peanut sauce gave me a satisfying hit of one of my favourite flavours. I added some sugar snaps and baby corn to the recipe and fewer prawns to make this dish more healthy.

Last night I tried out her rhubarb tart with rose and pistachio frangipane. The flavour combination was great, really interesting and the pistachio went really well with the rose. I couldn’t stop eating the leftovers from my Magimix! I loved the bright pink of the Yorkshire forced Rhubarb against the bright green frangipane. 

Yorkshire rhubarb is in season around this time and up in Wakefield they even have a food festival dedicated to this wonderful British fruit at the end of February. Perhaps we’ll get a chance to visit some of the producer’s when we make our way to Harrogate for BBC Good Food show Spring!
