Yummy Mummy

Here it is Clever Girls! Hot off the presses, and just in time for Mother's Day, we have Gweneth Paltrow's new cookbook, My Father's Daughter. This is a delightful book, filled with great pictures, and lots of hints and tips from Gwynnie herself.  Sprinkled in along with the recipes are personal stories centered around the origin of the dishes, tales of growing up in a rather famous (yet, seemingly, down-to-earth) family and explanations on why certain ingredients work well together.

While I personally will be skipping her Anchovy Vinaigrette, (just not my thing) this is her recipe for Balsamic & Lime Dressing; tangy, sweet and delicious.  It packs a real zing...

Balsamic & Lime Vinaigrette

2-T balsamic vinegar

2 T. light agave nectar (or honey)

1 T. fresh lime juice

6 T. olive oil

coarse salt

fresh ground black pepper

Whisk the vinegar, agave and lime juice together in a bowl.  

Slowly whisk in the olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Yum yum.  Let's get cookin' girls!
