Thymed-tart

Here, we have a lovely cornmeal-crusted tart with zucchini, tomato, goat cheese and fresh thyme. I used a mandoline to thinly slice the alternate layers of tomato and zucchini with some crumblings of goat cheese. I really think cornmeal has a buttery taste and often include some in breads. And the tart looks pretty.

It's that time again....

Yup. Clove gum is available again for a short time. Adams, part of the Cadburry conglomerate only makes the gum every couple of years. In case you didn't know I love cloves. Or as they say in Spanish and then translated back into English: nail of aroma. If you are a Pump Up the Volume / Christian Slater fan you'll be happy to know that Black Jack gum is also available for a brief time too.

Tofu with Georgian Ketchup

The country not the state. Here is a beautiful, quick dish made from fresh vegetables (zucchini, carrots, summer squash & kohlrabi), home-marinated tofu and tkemali a sauce made from plums. It is refreshingly tart and easy when you can just pour out the bottle. Georgian cuisine is really tasty and most dishes are easy to prepare as well as adaptable to the veg*n diet. This is a pretty good book if you are interested: "The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia"
