  • OK I'm an omnivore but I'm totally obsessed with all sorts of food, from whole to junk and lots in between, including lots of vegan meals just by accident.

    Just now I made Farinata, a Ligurian oven-cooked pancake, as a snack. There are other things made across Italy called farinata made of other things, but this one is a batter made from water and chickpea flour, baked with olive oil, a sprig of rosemary and sprinkled with salt.

    It is literally the best thing I've eaten in ages. I'd forgotten about it but I just nailed it tonight. It's a snack really, although a south american version is eaten like pizza, apparently.

    Seriously, if you're looking for something new to make, check out this recipe. It's amazing.

    So, you whisk a batter of 3-1 ratio of water and gram flour by weight, + dash of oil and maybe rosemary, rest for 4hrs min, then stir again and pour into 2mm of very hot oil in a very hot iron skillet, and put in a very hot oven. Takes 15 mins. Take care with a pallet knife to loosen it off the iron after resting a bit. Chuck a bit of good salt on.

    Open some wine.
