Minted Rose Water :: Trad Home Shoot

Monday, June 27, 2011 Recipes  

Part 2 of our Trad Home story will be featured this week- if you haven’t seen the collaboration between trad Home and Lonny Magazine, have a look. For this story we wanted to give an easy refreshing summer drink: Rose Water + Mint. For both Sunday Suppers and in our homes, we like to offer our guests a drink when they walk in the door. This allows everyone to relax and mingle for a bit before we get our lesson going. Are roses edible you might ask ? Yes! if they are organic and pesticide free – so just check with your local market or florist.

For a tiny carafe like ours we combined 2 cups of cool water, a quarter teaspoon of Rosewater, two sprigs of Mint, and a few rose petals. This can obviously be doubled or tripled depending on your vessel.

Quinoa, Grapes + Spring Garlic

Monday, June 6, 2011 Recipes  

 

We can’t get enough of these beautifully roasted grapes on top of the cream colored quinoa. For this one we roasted this incredible purple garlic. How awesome is the surface of the bulbs ? It looks like someone came in with a paint brush. We know, not so visible in the dish, but fun for the process nonetheless. We love the green pops as well, and the only thing better than the look of this dish is the taste :: Juicy grapes, wholesome quinoa, rich roasted spring garlic + fresh herbs ?? Yum.
