Icebox Cakes for Stuart's birthday. This is a family favourite using a migraine-friendly recipe from @smittenkitchen 💜 Chocolate wafer cookies layered with whipped cream. The cookies absorb liquid from the cream and soften in the icebox. So rich and yummy. Head over to Deb's website for the recipe. ~ ~ I used to make this all by hand. It was a two day labour of love. My @magimix Patissier made quick work of every step-fine crumb for the biscuit dough, check; slicing the chilled dough to make uniformly thin biscuits, check; and my first time making whipped cream (in a food processor), check. Oh how did I ever live without you 😍 ~ ~ So my friends, what kitchen tool has made your life a breeze? Informed by science. Cooked by you.

Lest we forget. This winter whenever I had a spare moment I would crochet some poppies. A poppy here, a poppy there and before I knew it there were a dozen. They are just a small corner of this 1000 strong field. Each poppy is as unique as the maker. Together they remind us of the beauty and strength of a diverse community coming together to stand up to tyranny. If you are in #crowsnest it's worth taking a gander. #lestweforget #1000poppies

Just because it's summer like weather doesn't mean you need to abandon your meatless Monday pasta sauce. Lighten it up by throwing a few extra tomatoes and red capiscum on the grill during the weekend. Wizz them up with fresh basil and oregano. Toss through some buffalo mozzarella for a light summer's meal. Enjoy my friends. Informed by science. Cooked by you.

The end result. I was really happy with the filling, not so much the batter. Hence no photo of the cakey, brown flowers. I wanted a more tempura style so it will be back to the drawing board. But they tasted great. ~ 💜<Swipe> ~ The filling was simply 3/4 of a cup of leftover rice pilaf, lemon zest, 12 scallops quartered and 2 heap tablespoons of Kristen Allan's Buttermilk Ricotta. Easily filled 6 zucchini flowers to beautiful plumpness. Scallops were perfectly cooked during frying. ~ ~ Note for Migraineurs as zucchini are cucurbits these are a special treat. The cucurbits, squashes and cucumber, all contain naturally high levels of citrulline which fuels the biochemical pathway that causes migraines. So no more than 3 servings a week 🤓 ~ ~ Enjoy my friends. Informed by science. Cooked by you.

What an unexpected haul from the @nthsydmkts this morning. I couldn't pass on these gorgeous zucchini flowers. I'll fill them with these beautiful Hervey Bay scallops from @peytonbluroyale_seafood pair with @kristenallancheese buttermilk ricotta. They say you can bake zucchini flowers. Meh, they deserve to be fried. ~ ~ So my friends, what is your weekend treat? Check back later for the results. Informed by science. Cooked by you.

It's the weekend so get inspired. Have a wander, forage and make something with your heart. ~ ~ Migraineur's Pasta con Scallops and Vongolle. Inspired by @silviacollocaofficial while riding the bus to the chemist yesterday. Had to share her beautiful photo with everyone around me. Complete strangers chatting on a bus were brought together by a photo of food. Inspired to do more. Bliss. ~ ~ Keep it migraine-friendly with scallops for those that suffer. ~ ~ Recipe in the comments. Informed by science. Cooked by you. Enjoy my friends.

This week I’m listening to anything by P!nk.
