I confess, possums, I wrote this nearly a month ago and haven’t had the wherewithal to take pictures of something I’ve cooked to go with the post, but now I have and here I am. Since this is a review, I thought I might make something from Luisa’s book but instead, I have made something that comforts me – the way the food in her book comforts her. These furikake twists are a riff on cheese twists but use furikake, or rice sprinkles, nori and cheese and by the awesome powers invested in puff pastry turn out to be just as delicious with what for me are the flavours of growing up.
This morning I woke up early-early, before the sun was up. Since it’s Monday, and we ate too much at the beach over the weekend, I was determined to walk to yoga, and start the week off right.
As I walked out the door, feeling a little jittery from lack of breakfast but knowing I’d regret having eaten porridge before a series of twists, a UPS man stopped me on the stairs and handed me a package. I knew it would be an advance copy of Luisa’s “My Berlin Kitchen,” which I’d been looking forward to reading since she announced she was writing a book.

Possums, hello! There’s something I want to talk about. I’ve been meaning and meaning to come here but I didn’t know quite what to say – it (whatever “it” is) is as yet unformed so I think I need to approach it sideways as one might a nervous cat, or like many things in peripheral vision it might disappear.
