California omelette

Ever since those long mornings at Red Hot & Blues in Prague nearly two decades ago, I have nurtured a certain fondness for California omelettes. These days I rarely find the time to make them but with the kids constructing ever higher Duplo houses in the living room, I thought I should rescue some of the many eggs that Anna’s dad bought for Easter.

As for the book, I discovered Sophia Al-Maria when I was in Qatar last year. Reading her book made me smile, “the borders of the Empty Quarter, an infamous desert where the night sky was laden heaviest with the Milky Way”. That, and the green valleys of the Pacific Northwest.
