We find it essential to feed creativity. For a recent workshop, Aki put together Rolo blondies. We needed a pick-me-up, so she went through the cupboards to see what she had to work with. The creation of these down-home, chocolatey, chewy, caramel treats was a delicious and inspired sugar rush. They fueled a series of discussions about what is possible as we explored ideas and techniques in the kitchen. Sometimes the most useful ingredients are the ones hidden in plain sight.
