for Spring Brunch with the fabby Australian (now London-based) chef, Bill Granger.
He made his signature Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough Toast; Ricotta Hotcakes with Strawberries, Honey, and Vardon Yogurt; and Zucchini and Feta Fritters with Spring Salad. Here he is tipping the peas into the salad, with Patricia Michelson (who owns La Fromagerie) in the background:
All the dishes were from Sydney Food and Bill's Food, both of which have super breakfast chapters.
Bill's Scrambled Eggs has been our go-to recipe ever since we first tried it: the eggs are gently folded rather than scrambled, resulting in a wonderfully light and creamy texture. And now I think his Ricotta Hotcakes could become a real weekend favorite, too. Already looking forward to next Saturday morning!
Oof, he would have had me at scrambled eggs.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky lucky thing. I am drooling (whilst eating Pringles - not quite the same standard of cuisine)
your so lucky, I have lots of his books and cook from them all the time!
ReplyDeleteA new way to make eggs...I'm intrigued! Would you mind sending me a few instructions in your next email?
ReplyDeleteLa Fromagerie runs a wonderful business!
Ooh I love Bill Granger please please please tell more about where he's based now he's in London.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he was now based in London! To open a restaurant? I've been working my way through the recipes in Every Day and those featured in the Waitrose magazine. There have been some delicious dishes, big hits!
ReplyDeleteI am falling off my chair in envy. Bill Granger's is elevated to the status of Nigella in our house - and believe me, for us, that's high praise indeed. Every recipe of his that I've tried has been scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds super delicious, I will be making the courgette and feta fritters tonight, Abel&Cole delivered a lot of the green beauties ;)
ReplyDeleteHe's based in London now? Since when?
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun! I love La Fromagerie, and those recipes sound really yummy. Oh dear...now I'm tempted to yet more cookery books!
ReplyDeleteBill does fantastic scrambled eggs!
ReplyDeleteI love Bill. I have all his books. If he could come live here, and make me breakfast every morning, I would be very happy.
ReplyDeleteHe could share the secret of how he gets his teeth so white, too.
I have a friend who raves about Bill Granger. I had no idea that he had relocated to London, though. Can you actually duplicate his method for scrambled eggs?
