The best thing in Sullivan Street, in New York is Local!
I soon as I landed one of the first things on my to do- list was,.. (after a stop at Magnolia, but that is just to obvious to mention)
... going to Local, getting my hands on their Zucchini bread (which I have tried to replicate, without any succes! Oooh my poor colleges who had to suffer trough eating a slice.)
And devouring all their breakfast options!
From bagels with cream cheese and jelly or peanutbutter,to eggs, to yogurt with fruit,...
to my all time favorite Pukkola!
Don't think about it, just make it!
Oats with almonds, milk, dried abricots and strawberries never tastes this good!!
This is my motivation to go to bed early!

Wanna give it a try??

Here's the Pukkola Cookbook!

Pukkolla
recipe from: Local in New York
recipe type: to breakfast
recipe: lactose free when using nut milk

What you'l need:
8 large handfuls of organic rolled oats
2 large handfuls of ground bran
1 handful of chopped dried apricots / 1 handful of chopped dried dates
1 handful of crumbled walnuts / 1 handfull of dries cranberries
1 handful of almonds, hazelnuts or brazil nuts
nutmilk - enough to cover the oats.

Add your oats and bran to your plastic container with the apricots and
dates.
Add the walnuts and other nuts.
This will keep for a good couple months very happily in your airtight container.

What to do:
pour the milk to cover ( almond, rice , coconut, oat milk)
1/2 crunchy apple per person, washed and unpeeled
Try to make this the night or day before.
Place double the amount of composed pukkolla cereal needed into a bowl.
Cover with milk, grate in around 1/2 an apple per person and stir immediately to keep apple from discolouring.
Place in the fridge.
When tucking in and eat the pukkola:
add 1/2 banana per person, peeled and sliced or mashed honey to taste
Remove the bowl from fridge.
You will find that it has softened and thickened, so loosed with a little milk.
Add your banana. Add honey to taste.
Serve with a dollop of yogurt and some fresh mixed berries.

Adapted from The Naked Chef Takes Off, Jamie Oliver
(Makes a Bunch or as Jamie says, "Serves Many Mornings")

Composing and Preserving:
8 large handfuls of organic rolled oats
2 large handfuls of ground bran
1 handful of chopped dried apricots (I used dried, unsulphured papaya)
1 handful of chopped dried dates (I used dried, unsulphured pineapple)
1 handful of crumbled walnuts
1 handful of smashed or chopped almonds, hazelnuts or Brazil nuts (I used sliced almonds)
(I added 3 Tablespoons ground flax seed)
(I added 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon and 1 tsp ground cardamom)

Add your oats and bran to your plastic container with the apricots and dates. Add the walnuts and your other chosen nuts. I usually bash them At this point feel free to improvise, adding any other preferred dried fruits like rains, sultanas or figs--but personally I think my combination works pretty well. This will keep for a good couple of months very happily in your airtight container, but you'll have eaten it by then, I guarantee.

Making and Knocking Together:
milk to cover (I used almond milk)
1/2 crunchy apple per person, washed and unpeeled

I would definitely try to make this the night or day before you want to eat it, although it can be made at any time (but you won't get the smooth silky scrumptious texture that the milk gives it overnight). I normally place double the amount of composed pukkolla cereal I need (i.e. four portions for two people) into a bowl. Doubling up like this gives you enough to eat for the next couple of days. Cover with milk, grate in around 1/2 an apple per person and stir immediately to keep the apple from discolouring. Place in the fridge.

Tucking In and Eating:
1/2 banana per person, peeled and sliced or mashed
honey to taste
(I added frozen blueberries)

Remove the bowl from the fridge. You will find that it has softened and thickened, so loosen with a little milk. Add your banana, sliced or mashed. You will find that a lot of natural sweetness has come out of the dried fruit, so add honey to taste. Serve in a bowl with a dollop of yogurt and some mixed fresh berries.
