Brunch ideas 😍
FOR THE HOLLANDAISE: 115 grams unsalted butter 3 large egg yolks... 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste ¼ teaspoon cayenne or hot paprika, plus more to taste salt and freshly ground pepper
FOR THE POACHED EGGS: 8 large eggs
FOR THE BENEDICT AND ASSEMBLY: 4 buns, split 8 slices bacon or thick-cut ham 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ cup chopped chives 2 tablespoons chopped dill, tarragon or parsley Flaky sea salt Coarsely ground black pepper
Make the hollandaise: Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat until it’s foamy but not yet beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Place egg yolks and 2 teaspoons water in a blender. Start blending, and, working very slowly, add the hot, melted butter until it’s all incorporated. Add lemon juice and cayenne, though feel free to adjust the amounts to taste, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the hollandaise to a small bowl, and place plastic wrap directly on the surface so it doesn’t form a skin. Set aside. Poach the eggs, Once eggs are perfectly poached, remove from the water, and let drain on a plate lined with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Set eggs aside. Using a toaster, toaster oven or regular oven, toast the English muffins until crisp and golden brown. Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium–high heat until golden brown and just crisp at the edges, about 6 minutes. Assemble: Butter eight bun halves generously. Top each with a slice of bacon, then a poached egg. Spoon hollandaise sauce over and sprinkle with chives, dill, flaky sea salt and black pepper.

Anyone say ICE CREAM 🤗
INGREDEINTS: - 1 plump vanilla pod - 300ml full-fat milk ... - 300ml double cream - 100g golden caster sugar - 4 egg yolks
METHOD: 1) Place a container in the freezer. Split the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape the seeds out with the point of the knife and tip into a pan with the milk, cream and pod. 2) Bring to the boil, then remove heat and leave to infuse for at least 20 mins. For the best flavour, this can be done a few hours beforehand and left to go cold. 3) In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and egg yolks together for a few mins until they turn pale and fluffy. 4) Put the vanilla cream back on the heat until it's just about to boil, then carefully sieve the liquid onto the yolks, beating with the whisk until completely mixed. 5) At this point, get a large bowl of iced water and sit a smaller bowl in it. Pour the custard back into the pan and cook on the lowest heat, stirring slowly and continuously, making sure the spoon touches the bottom of the pan, for about 10 mins until thickened. 6) Strain the custard into the bowl sitting in the iced water and leave to cool, then churn until scoopable. Transfer to the container and freeze.
HOW EASY IS THAT 👍

Needing some lunch inspiration?
We've got the perfect light and fresh spring salad for you!
INGREDIENTS:... - 4 courgettes - sea salt - freshly ground black pepper - 1 red chilli - ½ clove garlic - 1 handful of fresh mint - extra virgin olive oil - 1 squeeze lemon juice - broad beans - raw peas
METHOD: 1) This is quite an unusual salad and terribly simple to make. It's great because it's a nice little side dish that will go with things like mozzarella, goat's cheese, cured meats, grilled or barbecued white fish like cod or haddock, even things like chicken or pork. Use courgettes when at their best (nice and firm and not too big). 2) Slice 4 courgettes lengthways as thin as you can (use a mandolin if you have one). Grill on a red-hot griddle pan, or on the barbecue, until lightly charred on each side. Scatter the slices over a large plate, making sure you don't sit them on top of each other otherwise they'll steam and go a bit limp, and there's nothing worse than limp courgettes, I can tell you. While they're still warmish, sprinkle them with a little sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. 3) Deseed red chilli and chop finely. Finely chop ½ a clove of garlic and sprinkle the chilli and garlic evenly from a height over the courgettes. (Add to your own taste, but just remember that when the chilli and garlic mix with the olive oil and lemon juice the heat and flavours are lessened.) 4) Tear over a handful of fresh mint and drizzle with good extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. I've even been known to throw in some blanched broad beans or raw peas if I can get any. This salad is always a real treat.

Did anyone mention tea and cake 😀
We've got a special treat for you today - French Chocolate Cake
I remember when the flourless chocolate cake craze hit and all anyone could talk about were flourless chocolate cakes. Chocolate guru Alice Medrich said something along the lines of, “It’s one of the few desserts that’s famous for what’s not in it, than for what is in it.” This was a number years ago, before flour became an ingredient for some to avoid.
... Back then, I never understood the fervor over a few omitted tablespoons of flour, in spite of how much I liked flourless chocolate cakes. That was before the internet, when you could have conflicting opinions and not lose sleep over it at night.

The best tea ever! The taste of each tea from Chateau Rouge is absolutely sensational! My favorite is Prince of Earle Grey and White Monkey. Drinking it makes me feel so blissful and relaxing.

Tea lovers, check this out!

Organic quality products, excellent personal customer service headed up by a passionate and hands on founder. The fine teas are divine. Try them out! You will not be disappointed.

I have tried Breakfast Blend No 27 and I love it. From the packaging to very handy silk bags to the wonderful taste I love all of it. I drink my tea with a slice of lemon and this tea taste great. As soon as you have your first cup you know straight away that this is how real tea should taste like :)

I believe its the best tea i ever had, and the coffee is perfectly roasted.

Great taste and aroma, appreciated only by those whom understand the worth of excellent quality.

Beautiful tea much enjoyed at any time of the day.

Beautiful speciality teas, the Wiedouw Roobius is a particular favourite of mine! Can't fault, I'm always happy with them �
