Kitchen Diary in England: Recipes for late Summer and early Autumn
On a hot summer day, drink a homemade elderflower champagne; as autumn approaches, make a blue cheese boneless chicken thigh in the oven; if you feel troubled, have a roasted lamb leg to escape the troubles in life; if you want to travel, make Taiyang Bing that takes you to Taiwan right away; after a busy day of work, make bread and butter pudding to comfort yourself... The door of my kitchen leading to the garden is always open. In addition to cooking and writing, I spend my time in this small space. The first thing I do every morning is to inspect the flowers, plants, and fruits, to see which one has bloomed, which one has fruited, or to pick the ripe fruits. Starting the day like this is full of anticipation and small pleasures.
