Kempt Kitchen – Strawberries and Biscuits with Basil Creme Anglaise
By Andrea in kempt kitchenThere would be a mutiny, and possibly a murder if I’d turned on the oven in the past few weeks. It has been so warm that we’ve only been pulling things from the garden or foraging in the crisper and eating them as they wilt in our hands. Late last week we drove out to [...]

Kempt Kitchen: Campaigning.
By Andrea in a life unexamined, kempt kitchen{via} Every Monday I wake up and think about what I want to bake. What I want to cook. How I want to eat, who I want to eat it with, how we want to photograph it and how much we’re going to enjoy it. I love to cook, and we love to eat and [...]

Kempt Kitchen – Ginger Peach Crumble
By Andrea in kempt kitchen, photographyThe weather has been so abysmally rainy here for the past week that my cooking has turned from lightly spring to decadent fall. It seems as though we’ve come full circle, frantically throwing blankets back on the bed, slamming windows and wrapping ourselves, sodden and limp, around hot cups of tea. Light tarts have given [...]

Kempt Kitchen: Vanilla Blackberry Tart
By Andrea in kempt kitchen, photographyIt is either a testament to a)this tart or to b) emotional eating that by the time I got around to photographing it, there was only a teeny bit left.

Kempt Kitchen: Bacon, Leek and Cheddar Scones

It may just be, if I am to be be so forward, that nothing in this new home ever turns out right because the kitchen is possessed. Balls. All of these fancy kitchen appliances (see: newer than 1949 and now lead [...]

Kempt Kitchen – Fleur de Sel Caramels

Kempt Kitchen – Moroccan Veggie Stew
By Andrea in kempt kitchenWhile my goal for Kempt Kitchen is to always keep expanding my horizons and learning new things, sometimes the inspiration is lacking. I think I’m as guilty as anyone of falling into the meat/veg/potatoes vs. pasta rut that keeps us going in the busy times, but with incredible inspiration from old friends and a new [...]

kempt kitchen – maple ginger granola
By Andrea in kempt kitchenMeteorologically, we appear to live dead center at the bisection point of “sweet jesus it’s beautiful” and “I want to leave here and never return until the earth is scorched and barren and I must find a patch of land to urinate upon.” We usually swing from one (spring! It was spring!) to the other [...]
