Food Porn

I’ve gotten really excited about food lately. Okay, I’ve always been excited about food, but I’ve been super stoked about cooking. Being on a tight budget, cooking has become a hobby I can indulge in without any additional costs and the associated guilt.



Everyday I find something new to get excited about. Yesterday it was meatloaf, as I haven’t had it in years, and the cookbook I got for Christmas has the most beautiful looking recipe in it. Today it’s anything with lemon and lime flavours.



Look at that cake and tell me that doesn’t look gorgeous. Couldn’t you just live in that? That was inspirational enough to send me looking for various combinations, and I found some that I adore:

Lemon Meringue Custards – one could easily substitute half of the lemon zest and juice for lime zest and juice, thereby making the whole thing even MORE awesome.
Lemon Custards with Lemon Verbena – does that not sound gorgeous? Oh man.

Naturally, this amped up my enthusiasm for custard, which I adore. In my search for custard-related recipes, I found a recipe for Bittersweet Chocolate Soufflé with Earl Grey Custard Sauce. I’ve never made a soufflé in my life, but with a description like that, I’m sure as hell going to try!
