The nice thing about weekends away is discovering new recipes. This is one that I recently picked up while in Wilderness. It is from a community newspaper. The article was titled: "particularly pleasing pomegranates".
The recipe that snagged my interest was for pomegranate muffins. It sounds terribly interesting. The main challenge however is how to "harvest" the pomegranate seeds! Pomegranates are autumnal fruits. According to the article, they originated from Persia and were used by the french to make Grenadine syrup.
Inspiration comes in many forms: movies, magazines and recipe books. I must confess to having been an armchair chef for many years. Inspiration is essential if one is to take a leap of faith from being an armchair chef to actually creating something. Anything. For me the trigger was watching Julia and Jules. The movie about a fellow armchair traveller who actually devoted a whole year to cooking a new dish every night.
I am not quite as amibitious. For me it has to be simple and tasty, something as simple as ginger biscuits.
Why ginger biscuits? Well, it is something of a family tradition at Christmas time. Something that grandmothers used to make and hand on Christmas trees with red and green ribbons. Simple, easy and tasty.
