Inquiring Readers: XIMENA MAIER is an illustrator from Spain, who also blogs about food and drawings. Combining her passions, she came up with an Elizabeth Bennet omelet and drawing. Ximena kindly gave me permission to publish her post and fabulous illustration.
This is just a silly way to justify making the drawing above. There´s the famous omelette Arnold Bennet, a grand thing involving bechamel and hollandaise sauce, and smoked fish that must be poached. And then there´s a pared-down version in the book
Cupboard Love, which the author calls Omelette Gordon Bennet.
And then there´s the even lazier way, which is really more of a frittata but none the worse for that; an omelette of smoked fish, dotted with cream and sprinkled with parmesan, then briefly grilled. It emerges puffed and pretty, and is just the thing for a quick lunch, with buttered brown bread and some salad.
I used smoked mackerel because it´s my new favourite thing, but salmon or trout would do just as well, and look even more girly and sweetly pink.
