Mary-Anne Boermans#TodayInMyKitchen Seville oranges are in season, so even if you're not into marmalade-making, do get yourself a net or two.
Zest the rind, squeeze the juice and freeze in ice-cube trays in order to enjoy their sharp bitterness all year round.
#TodayInMyKitchen Finally finished jotting down all the mincemeat/mince pie recipes in the manuscripts at the Wellcome Collection.
All 275 of them.

#TodayInMyKitchen Reaping the rewards of some freezer spelunking last night.
Found some already-prepared damson puree from last year, & whipped up a batch of my damson ice-cream in just 10 minutes.
So happy breakfast ice-cream is a thing. 😋
#TodayInMyKitchen Whey Whig - an #18thC thirst-quencher, especially for farmhands and land workers.
Made by steeping fresh herbs & aromatics in whey for a few days.
Tastes green and tangy. #Refreshing
#TodayInMyKitchen Chianti Tuna
An ancient recipe revived by Dario Cecchini, the butcher poet of Panzano.
It's actually made from pork.
Let me know if you'd be interested in a blog post on how to make it. 😋
#TodayInMyKitchen Well, out in the garden, really.
Watering the herbs I ordered/planted after finding an actual recipe for Whey-Whig, a (supposedly) refreshing and thirst-quenching summer-time drink thought to have been lost to time.
Hoping all this effort will pay off 🤞
#TodayInMyKitchen Hot Cross Buns.
Choices, choices!
Search 'cross buns' on the #DejaFood blog for these three 19thC versions.
#TodayInMyKitchen Inside Carrot Bread.
Untoasted (top) & toasted (bottom).
Glorious colour, great chew, surprisingly indifferent to toasting, but fantastic flavour & crunch. 😋
Blog post to follow soon.
