of the kitchen (and the views which I have to admit is pretty lovely!) this week end. Unfortunately, we still do not have internet access in our new home (yes it does still exists, houses with no phone or internet...) therefore I cannot update my blog as ofter as I want...Being a naughty girl, I'm updating it quickly now from work.This week, I have been able to cook almost every day, due to the fact than I'm only work 10 minutes away! I'm home much quicker and can jump in my apron and start tackling new recipes...Last week end, as a breakfast treat and indulgence, I made some canadian pancakes (Canadian for the maple sirup...)...it was like being 12 again, and oh boy were they nice! I made enough batter to have it for two days for brekkie.
On Sunday, I was still in my batter mood, so I tried a new recipe, Corn Fritters. This is so easy to make and it was really nice, along with a tomato and 
chilli sauce (homemade of course!) and a salad. The fritters are made with a batter similar to a pancake one, although more baking power (or self raising flour) is used. I then added sweetcorn (one of my fav'), onion (scallions are better but I didn't have any), chives and cheese. You do have to season well to make sure it is not bland. Cook it like a pancake and...done! I followed the recipe and had enough batter to make a few extra for work the following day, everybody loved them.

I made the meatballs with sausages, and the sauce was made out of egg yolks, cream, pancetta and cheese...my husband did not complain!
I'll have to work on some more recipes for this week end and, due to a bank holidays, I will be off work from Friday afternnnon until next wednesday, so I'll have plenty of time to experience new tastes, recipes, which i will of course share next week!
