Today or tomorrow there will be congee! Cooked in the Chinese clay pot which makes such a difference to the taste. I have quite a few congee recipes but will be making the one from #Tenderheart by #HettyMcKinnon - Ginger jook with frizzled ginger and garlic. ๐

I pan roasted some broccoli and served it with a tahini-soy-Lao Gan Ma Chilli Crisp-garlic sauce from #TenderHeart by #HettyMcKinnon. Actually her recipe uses chilli oil but I replaced it with Lao Gan Ma Chilli Crisp. Absolutely awesome!
#HettyMcKinnon says "For a bouncy, firm texture, simmer your tofu for a few minutes". Now I know why I love steamed tofu so much - I guess it is similar.

Addendum.
I found one thing (so far) to criticise about Tenderheart. There is only one built-in bookmark. A tome of 500+ pages needs 3 or 4. Even Ottolenghi knows this and puts multiple bookmarks in his cookbooks.
Sorry Plum publishing, do better in the next edition.

The recipes go on and on and on in this book. Want to cook your way through it? Allow 5 years.
A final note - Hetty does not claim this book to be vegetarian. Thank you Hetty. โ It is a book about vegetables. Thus, keep your dietary needs in mind when planning your vegetarian meals, especially protein needs.
Recommended for anyone who truly loves food and cooking, and eats a strongly plant-focused diet.
You will adore this book.

The book's 22 chapters are divided into vegetables, from Asian Greens to Zucchini. It begins with the Tenderheart Pantry, and the first recipe is for Umami Crisp. Oh my!
There are so many cook's notes in this book, notes on gluten-free options, how to veganise, lists of substitutes, and notes on other veg that can be swapped in. The text is sufficiently large and clear, and the instructions seem logical and easy to follow.
The recipes cross cultures, and are not all asian-oriented, altho you can still see her trademarks Asian style here. You can find some of the recipes online as well.
It is an intimate book , with memories shared about each recipe.
The pictures are matt and quite lovely.

Where do I begin with this book? I could go on for ages about it.
First, it is a tome - over 500 pages. The pages are a smooth matt, excellent for writing your notes on. It is large in length and breadth too. It has the feeling of a large text book or research book, which adds to its gravitas and the awe you instinctively feel for this book.
This may be Hetty's magnum opus - it is difficult to imagine how she might surpass this.
Of course it is another to add to our list of fantastic books by female Australian authors.
