Pink Peppercorns !

Pink Peppercorns.

Did you know that they're  not actually a true peppercorn?  Just a little ripe berry from the Brazilian pepper tree.  Who knew?

With a delicate, fragrant, sweet and spicy flavor, reminiscent of sweet berries and citrus zest.  

They can help fight against flu, colds and infections, and can also give relief from muscle stiffness and aches.

Sounds like I could use a truck full of these little biddy beauties after every Wednesday's pilates class.

IN SEASON: Root Veggie Fritters

In Winter, root vegetables are indispensable for those of us that love to cook.  As the weather cools and the days get shorter, our thoughts turn to long, slow cooking.  Cooking that warms our kitchens and fills our homes with comforting aromas. 

These are the days when I cook with a cup of tea in hand and my book not too far away. 

My weekly organic veggie box from Ceres is filled to the brim with these delicious vegetables for a reason, they're in season.  This is their time to shine, and these little fritters, I think (and so do my family) make them sing from the roof tops.

Some women buy shoes . . .

Some ladies buy shoes while on holidays.

Me, I buy vintage crockery (well, I do buy shoes too!). 

My obsession makes it a little hard to move my suitcase by the end of each holiday, and in fact, my wheels gave out on this last trip.  There is also always that fear hanging over my head that my suitcase will be filled with shards of china when I next open it.

Luckily, these little gems made it all the way home as I love the way this delicious chicken and red lentil soup pops inside the bowl.

Chicken + Red Wine !

It's as simple as it sounds.  Chicken, red wine and just the one pot.  Oh...and a little love.

I love the shift to Winter my mind, body and routine takes.  Bit by bit, slowing down.  Not completely, as that would be too good to be true, but just enough to notice.  I seem to take longer over my morning latte.  I'm in bed earlier.  The food in my kitchen cooks for longer.

This dish is not the true coq au vin.  However, it is chicken slow cooked in red wine and I did use French wine, so I'm still going to say it's somewhat French.  Perhaps French inspired?
