Andrew from Spittoon Extra is the host of this month’s Waiter There’s Someting In My… event, and has chosen dried fruit or nuts as a theme. Since my mother provided me with a huge bag of (last year’s) organic walnuts straight from her garden two weeks ago, I hunted for an uncommon recipe to use them and came up with Sweet-Potato Walnut Burritos These completely vegetarian burritos feature a few of my favorite ingredients: walnuts, sweet potato and lentils.
This month’s issue of the Waiter there’s something in my… event, kindly hosted by Johanna aka thepassionatecook, is dedicated to breakfast. Johanna asks the participants to serve their favorite special breakfast: I think it’s time the foodblogging world showed us what makes THEIR breakfast special… don’t even bother sending me entries with marmite on toast, I want the most luxurious, indulging, refreshing, creative recipe you have up your sleeve and it’s totally up to you what you make as long as it fits the breakfast theme. I have to admit, I am not much of a breakfast eater – on most days I’ll happily nurse a mug of coffee or green tea and forget about food. My favorite breakfast ist without doubt a bowl of Thai fried rice, with...
Cook Sister! is hosting the 11th incarnation of the Waiter there’s something in my…-event, and she chose topless tarts as the challenge. Although it is winter and the first snow flakes have started to dance in front of my window, I have decided on a summery berry tart, or rather several tartelettes with red currants, the bounty of summer which I keep frozen for those cold and long dark nights of winter. Individual Red Currant Tartelettes I borrowed the idea for the filling from a traditional Swiss cherry pie my husband made two weeks ago, and in a way I also borrowed the idea of using a yeast dough instead of the more traditional flaky or puff pastry.
This month’s edition of the “Waiter, there’s something in my…” event ist hosted by Cooksister and calls all cooks to make pie. I’ve been giving this event some thought and serious cookbook reading, searching the internet for lots of new and cool ideas, and decided I would make a savory pie, maybe the cottage pie from Sarah Freemans The Best of Modern British Cookery, a terrific book showing off the best of the isles’ cuisine aside from Gary R., Rick S. or Jamie O.. Consequently, what I did make was – inevitably, sort of – Gooseberry Pie Inevitably, because a recent census of the inhabitants of my freezer resulted in several ice cream boxes filled to the brim with gooseberries – the gooseberries in my in-laws’ garden have been...
“Waiter, there’s something in my…” – a new food blog event is born, brain child by Andrew at Spittoonextra, Jeanne at Cooksister and ThePassionate Cook Johanna. The first installment of this monthly challenge calls for “warming, slow cooked, hearty food.” . i.e.: STEW! See all the details: here Since one of my New Year’s resolutions (or rather goals) is to participate in more blogging events than last year, this is the perfect excuse to present a recipe I cooked last night: Lamb and Eggplant Curry Now it doesn’t really look good, more like a brownish mush, but with a homemade curry paste and melt-in-your-mouth eggplant sauce this is wonderful winter fare, with rice or naan (or here flat Arabic bread) on the side. This is adapted from a recipe...
