cooking, reading and writing from a salmon pink kitchen

cooking, reading and writing from

In August 2018, we moved into a kitchen with salmon pink walls. In our kitchen, it smells of basil and tomato sauce, we knead doughs at our wobbly table and a moka pot rests on the hob. If you enter the salmon pink kitchen, you’ll most likely be welcomed by a 90s playlist, will find a tin of sardines in the recycling bin, and we bet you will stop by the vaguely sexual paintings hanging on the walls. In the salmon pink kitchen we remake our worlds, cooking, reading and writing.

Living in salmon pink is being chefs at home, cooking for one or for ten, equally feeding our minds and our bodies. The salmon pink kitchen is epicurean, romantic, comfortable in her home and proud of her accents.

Bienvenue to our virtual salmon pink kitchen, where you’re all a casa!

Fish Friday returns this week! Today we’re grilling some fresh sardines, served with a homemade harissa and on a bed of leeks. This is a simple and quick lunch fix, over to you salmons:

🌱First, the leek: slice the vegetable lengthwise and spread the cut-out bands at the bottom of a roasting tin.

🐟On to the sardines: lay-out the fish comfortably on its cushion of leek. You can add a drizzle of olive oil in between for extra kindness.

🥣Top it up with a homemade harissa. In a casserole, toast cumin, fennel and coriander seeds together for one minute on a low heat. Add two unpeeled cloves of garlic and continue to toast for another minute. Transfer everything into a bowl and reduce to a paste with the help of a mortar. Skin a tomato and blend everything together with the spicy paste. Spread the harissa on top of the sardines and leeks.

Grill in the oven until both sardines and leeks are crispy. And bon appétit !
