Inspired to Cook


My latest acquisition for the library is the new cookbook, Nopi by Yotam Ottolenghi. With the Wolff’s visit over the weekend, Ilze decided to make a recipe for potatoes out of the new cookbook. She was pleasantly surprised that we could walk into the garden and harvest all the ingredients required except for the potatoes.

I was pleased to see the books in the library inspiring our guests to cook and my garden enhancing the inspiration by supplying the ingredients.

Crushed new potatoes with caper berries, pink pepper corns and roasted garlic by Ilze
It was amazing to enjoy a braai complemented by the culinary creation of an inspired guest who could plan a dish in the library with the ingredients growing in full view.

Thanks to Ilze, the garden and Nopi, we could enjoy crushed new potatoes with caper berries, pink pepper corns and roasted garlic with our lamb sosaties and boerewors.
