A new year and getting involved in new things, like Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial’s In My Kitchen monthly glimpse into our homes. Fun and a good way to find out about new things. Love the idea Celia:-)
So, without further ado, in my kitchen this month are…
My new Dorie Greenspan recipe book – Around My French Table – loving it!
Our little kitchen herbs – parsley, basil and coriander – so happy with how they are doing, boyfriend has sneaky green fingers! Thank goodness, cos I definitely do not!
Keeping with the latest trend in microherbs, we’ve decided to grow herbs from seed until the leaves are just sprouting and then to use them in salad. They’re delicious and pack a serious flavour punch. This is just a couple of days growth on cotton wool, reminds us of growing beans on cotton wool as kids 🙂
The latest addition to our Nomu collection of rubs, we’re completely in love with the Moroccan one, but are yet to try out the Spanish one – I see prawns in our future very soon.
Salted caramel – found it in Woolies over Christmastime, not sure what to do with it now! Any ideas? Use by date is looming, so it may just have to be consumed as is…I think I can probably handle that!
A beautiful pressie from a special friend. Lots of love in our kitchen x
And that’s January in our kitchen folks 🙂

How great to have you joining in, thank you for playing! Love Dorie’s book, and it must be nice to have your herbs and sprouts so close to hand when you’re cooking! Perhaps the salted caramel could be chopped up and added to a brownie or cookies?
Thanks Celia and thanks for inspiring everyone else to play – its fun. I do love having some herbs in the kitchen, but they’re still so little so I feel bad to use any leaves yet! Luckily we have a bigger garden outside. Cookies with salted caramel would be amazing I think…mmm.
I love micro herbs but have had no luck at all lately trying to sprout them. I will try again with the cotton wool.
Try it, it’s worked really easily for us! We weren’t sure how to do it, but we just sprinkled some seeds onto the cottonwool and then have been keeping the wool damp, the seeds weren’t covered by anything. They are sitting on our kitchen windowsill and getting afternoon sun. Hope that helps! Good luck:-)
I love your baby herbs!
And the salted caramel- I’d eat is plain. Or with chocolate. Or rolled in chopped nuts. I’d just eat it.
Thanks Heidi, think I will just eat it!
I got some micro herbs packets from Woolies and they are amazing to use. Lovely things in your kitchen, you will love the rub 🙂
Mmmm, salted caramel… ice cream would be nice. I never thought of growing the micro herbs on cotton wool!
