  Squirrel’s Quiche

  Posted at 7:07 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  This quiche is a family staple, ‘borrowed’ from Squirrel’s Restaurant in the 1980’s. Hence the odd name. There’s certainly no squirrels in it. As of this year it’s a new improved family staple. You see, sometimes tradition requires alteration. Some tweaking here and there. To produce a real winner of a dish. That’s not to say the essence of the quiche has been modified, oh no. That’s been carefully preserved (I would have faced the wrath of certain family members had it not). With the application of a few key culinary techniques (blind baking, anyone?) this quiche has been transformed from decent nosh to a top notch feed. A smooth, light custard is dotted with florets of nutrient packed broccoli, sweet leeks and butternut squash and topped with golden cheddar. The whole thing is encased in a crisp, crumbly whole-wheat crust. A pastry to knock your socks off. The crowning jewel of the Squirrel’s Quiche 2.0 revamp. Continue reading →

Ahem. While my sister has a minor breakdown in the corner over the one hiding in our vanity cupboard, I’m pretending to be all calm and collected. Upholding the image of a responsible older sister, rather than someone who wants to shriek and flap their arms like a little girl (what I actually want to do). I think it’s something to do with their hairy legs and their shell (I have nightmares about crunching down on one in my salad) and their feelers, all twitchy and wavy in the air. And they move fast. And jump. Some even fly. And sometimes, I swear they run straight at you. Cockroaches are sneaky little devils. Continue reading →
