Culinary Adventures with Camilla

This month Elizabeth at Literature and Limes is hosting the Food'N'Flix group as we watch Moonrise Kingdom .* You can read her invitation here . I had never heard of the movie, but was eager to jump in. I picked up the DVD at the library and we all nestled in to watch. Then we realized that it was directed by Wes Anderson and promptly went on a deep dive down the Wes Anderson rabbit hole. After Moonrise Kingdom , we pulled out Fantastic Mr. Fox , we streamed  Isle of Dogs , and we also sat down to watch The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Rushmore  which were all available at the library. So, after our Wes Anderson exploration, I can say that his movies are eccentric, distinctive, and each frame could be printed and hung up in an artsy coffeehouse. The pacing and dialogue is understated and the soundtracks are ethereal. This is a sweet coming-of-age story where Sam and Suzy run away from home on their tiny island off the coast of New England. They had been pl...

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples  from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone. Here we are at day two of an amazing week of recipes to inspire your brunch menus from appetizers to libations. Many, many thanks to Terri of  Love and Confections  and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures for coordinating, wrangling, managing, and inspiring all of us! You can go to  this post  to read more about the sponsors, the prizes, and to enter the giveaway! Today's recipe uses ingredients from one of the event sponsors, Cabot Cheese . The only tough decision was deciding which one to use! Before I get on with the recipe, I want to talk about the cheese grater I received from  Cabot Cheese .  When I first looked at it, I thought: oh, it's cute, but I won't use that. I have so many cheese graters. But it turns out I was wrong. It's the pe...

I have seen photos of cauliflower grilled cheese sandwiches and decided to give it a try as I had a head of cauliflower from my CSA box last week. I planned to experiment with this and post it for an upcoming grilled cheese event. Though we all liked this, I'm not sure I'd call it a grilled cheese sandwich . So, I will share it now and post another grilled cheese recipe then. Ingredients 1 head large organic cauliflower (or you can buy already riced cauliflower) 2 large eggs 1/2 C finely grated Pecorino Romano 1/4 C finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 2 t dried oregano freshly ground pepper 1 to 2 C grated sharp chedddar butter for greasing the skillet Procedure Slice cauliflower into wedges and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Process cauliflower until the texture resembles rice. I ended up with approximately 5 C cauliflower crumbles. In a large mixing bowl, combine processed cauliflower, eggs, Pecorino, Parmigiano, ground peppe...
