Baked Eggs in Avocado with Chorizo and Fried Bread

Nothing is worse than a badly cooked egg—overcooked, rubbery, bland. But when cooked superbly, it is perfection. Eggs are on my list of things I can never tire of eating. Scrambled, poached, baked, boiled, fried (and deep-fried)—I love them all. Pair them with another favourite food of mine, avocados, and they become a new favourite breakfast entrĂ©e.

Baked Egg in Avocado

This is so incredibly easy and non-fussy, with only a handful of ingredients. You can omit the sausage if you want to keep this dish vegetarian, but the chorizo adds a beautiful smokiness to the creaminess of the egg and avocado. (Or try using your favourite smoky bacon for an alternative.)

Coconut-Saffron Tapioca Pudding

Lately I’ve been craving tapioca. A lot. Coconut tapioca, to be specific. I have a recent dinner hosted by a friend to thank for this hankering, as coconut tapioca was part of that night’s menu. There’s just something so comforting about tapioca. It’s something that brings me back to my childhood, when I would be delighted to get a bowl of coconut milk and tapioca dessert soup after a Cantonese dinner out (rather than the usual standard of red bean soup). And on occasion, my mom would make this incredible baked sago (what we liked to call tapioca) pudding—super eggy, super rich, and super delicious.

Coconut-Saffron Tapioca Pudding

Then last week, I had the brilliant Shole Zard dessert at Richmond Station—a Persian saffron pudding. It was ethereal and subtly sweet, with beautiful floral notes from the saffron. I was instantly in love with this dessert, and had been thinking about it ever since.
