Some plum pie



Over at Seven Spoons, it's always an adventure for chefs, pâtissiers and  gastronomes. I'm not exactly any of the aforementioned (although I would like to make a profession out of the last one), but you can't help but love the way she weaves simple but beautifully-crafted anecdotes into the food blog. It isn't a drab listing of recipes; it's an entire story that involves family and the community and love and several mistakes and more, till finally arriving at the recipe. It's as if Tara O' Brady has saved the special formula for homemade frothy Indian coffee or that savoury vinaigrette till the very end, to reward her enchanted readers. 


The recipes change with the seasons as well. There are beet salads and hot chocolate for winter, berry 'Eton Mess' for spring and a deathly chocolate-caramel ice-cream concoction for summer. And now we arrive to an autumn of pitted peaches and cherry cobbler. Always an adventure :)
