ottolenghi crush

if you're not already a fan of yotam ottolenghi - get on board! 

i fell in love with him when we were living in london and visited his islington restaurant. he is known for his regular "vegetarian" column in the guardian and received a bit of criticism since he's not actually vegetarian. beside the point really, his recipes are heaving with delicious vegetables and a mediterranean/middle eastern vibe. 

you can find some of them online at guardian.co.uk or ottolenghi.co.uk or do yourself a massive favour and buy either/both of his books ottolenghi: the cook book or plenty on amazon.

my favourite ottolenghi recipe of all time is the vegetable paella- it is absolutely divine and is on the menu at our house tonight! you can find the recipe here.

wednesday magic

seriously, how exciting is it to come home to an exciting package in the mail?! now make that an unexpected present wrapped in gold with a fluoro pink heart! now you're talking wednesday magic! i really think delightful gifts like this make the world go round. if you wanna make someones day just send them an unexpected present in the post (and wrap it in gold!)

and my gorgeous gold package was a bounty of beautiful things!! a bunch of very appropriate lps (a recent obsessions), a book (self confessed book loverrrr) and the most amazing white pom pom cushion (lovingly designed and made by my friend).
