The past few days have been very busy and have left us very little time in the kitchen. The day started with us having our friends, the M.’s over for breakfast – MEM gave me a waffle iron for breakfast and I was anxious to break it in! Perfect way to start our day … good friends, good food and lots of coffee!
I have been inspired, visually, by Donna Hay for some time. We own a couple books and I have recently discovered her magazines – a must have if you love to cook! Unfortunately, I do not cook that often from any of them, mainly because I just forget. This week has been declared Donna Hay week at our house.
What I love about her recipes are that they are simple and use fresh ingredients. Tonight we decided to go with a Lemon Pork dish. I did adapt it a little, used eggplant instead of tomatoes, did not have lemon thyme so I zested meyer lemon on the top; but, it still came out beautifully. Bursting with flavor – the milkiness of the pork, a bite of garlic, the savoriness of the thyme and the zang of lemon created a wonderful marriage of flavor. The taste was very fresh, clean and likeable!
