The dish the girls and I had for lunch today was from
one of my Sophie Dahl cook books. In Dutch it’s
called Season to Season. I bought this book because of the box
of veg I got every week and I didn't always know what to make with all these
seasonal veg. Also of course a bit because of her grandpa who has given me so
much fun in reading in my younger years. I honestly can’t wait until my girls
are big enough to read the books to them.
I have to say it’s a sweet book and I use it as an
inspiration, but the recipes are not always quite elaborated and often ‘missing’
something for my taste. Also with this recipe, the combination of the fried
aubergine and tomatoes with the poached egg is fantastic and I will definitely
keep that in mind, but I will definitely work on the taste of the veg. The original recipe by Sophie
can be found here.
About poaching the eggs, I have a great tip from my Yvette
van Boven books: make sure you stir the water (with vinegar and salt), so it
swirls, before putting the egg in. It was my first time poaching and didn’t
fail an egg!
