To show my support for local businesses suffering in this covid crisis, I bought the gorgeous herbal oil and delish flavoured liquor at Humus x Hortense, a Brussels restaurant recently award a green Michelin star. I also support their farmers and buy weekly their vegetable box; fresh from the field. I would be mad not to support them.
5 resourceful ways to re-use kitchen waste:
- BANANA PEELS : polish your silver, clean letter shoes and make plant feed by soaking them in water.
- CITRUS RINDS : Infuse liquor like vodka, infuse vinegar, add to sugar to flavour or boil the rinds in sugar to make a treat. Dry the zest in a pre-heated oven on low temperature and store in container, sprinkle on salads and fish to enhance flavours. Add them to ice cub trays so add to drinks.

- BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER STEMS : dice them super small and use in stir fry, add them to soups, steam and puree to flavour béchamel for vegetable tart.
- ONION SKINS : great to DIY dye linens and socks. Roast with meat for flavour, add when making stock.
- STALE BREAD : make breadcrumbs by blending finely and drying in pre-hated oven on low heat. Make bread pudding or French toast, click here for my recipe.
