Tagliatelle alla Carbonara | Book of Elsa

This is a true week day stand by for me. The quantities suggested here offer a load of leftovers but that's a great thing if only stop the "what am I going to eat later" debate.

Book Review | The Ten (Food) Commandments - Jay Rayner

First things first: this is not a recipe book. It contains recipes sure and good ones at that, but they are not the raison d'être of this book. They are, like snacks to nibble on whilst you ingest the true message of the written word. That word is worship. At the altar of PIG and other foodstuff... 
If like me you love food, then this is definitely a read for you. Funny, smart and current Rayner does something with words I had only previously experienced with Nigella Lawson: he makes me want to eat. To eat very well indeed.
Thank you

Aubergine Dip | Book of Elsa



This recipe came my way in the middle of the night courtesy of Nigella Lawson, Feast (2004) I've fiddled with it a little. By which I mean, taken out stuff I didn't like or have in the cupboards at the time of cooking. 
The dip itself is fantastic with bread, carrot sticks and any other crudités you might like. I don't judge. Enjoy
