Recent news, and saltcakes

[ashnistrike]

I'm neck deep in terrifying Deep Roots edits, but wanted to share a couple of posts elsewhere:

I joined Fran Wilde and Aliette de Bodard for the latest episode of Cooking the Books. Also on their site: the long-awaited honeyed saltcake recipe! 

Petra Mayer interviewed me for the NPR Books blog. I may have squeed a little, because NPR.

When I saw the fleur-de-sel-with-seaweed in the shop I was like 'This may not be in the letter of the recipe but I think it is true to the spirit of it.'

I plan on making the other two recipes now they've been released too; for the boiled potatoes I plan to take Neko's suggestion and double the apples but otherwise cleave to the recipe exactly, but I am afraid I am considering amendments to the holiday fish stew. I'd want it spicier, sweeter and less strongly fishy. I hope Aphra will not be too badly offended if I bring (part of) my own heritage into the kitchen and make beelines for garam masala and tamarind paste.
