Apparently the most important market for the food industry is so-called convenience food. People want to come home to a home-made dinner, but without the inconvenience of having to cook it. However, convenience food does not necessarily have to come out of a tin, or a plastic pack: sometimes the packaging is completely biodegradable. Take a pumpkin:…
Today’s been a very special day for many people: most importantly it marks the end of Ramadan for Muslims, who today celebrate Eid, the breaking of the fast. Fasting is always a stark reminder of how lucky you are – whether you fast for secular or religious reasons, during Ramadan or Lent, the fact that…
With the barbecue season upon us, it’s the season to check out some salads – after all, we need to offset all that meat by eating a couple of spoonfuls of healthy stuff on the side. And this cabbage salad does just the trick: cabbage is so incredibly healthy and nutritious, especially when eaten raw.…
Some of you might remember the cranachan-inspired cupcakes I made for I made for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. They called for recipes for whisky-based cupcake recipes for a baking competition, a challenge I could hardly resist! Anyway, I was very excited to hear that my entry had been chosen, together with four others, to be baked during…
Just in time for my first blog anniversary I will present you with the most oxymoronic dish ever: using the leftovers of an otherwise insanely expensive dish – white asparagus – this soup makes ‘thrifty’ look positively expensive. Anyways: you had your white asparagus and you ate it. But, as you followed my instructions to keep the…
Today was a real let-down in terms of Spring: strong gusts of wind carried bin lids across the garden, and the heavy rain didn’t exactly entice us to leave the house, either. In other words: a day for comfort food. Since I had been sent the gorgeous wine from Inntravel, I needed to make something…
This risotto is probably the most simple of all risotto dishes in that it has such a limited number of ingredients: apart from chicken stock, parmesan, an onion and risotto rice, the standard ingredients of any risotto, it only calls for saffron and – if you can get hold of it, some bone marrow. But…
Now as you would expect from a Swiss recipe, although it is a quick and easy mid-week dinner solution, you still have to pay attention to detail. Note the title: strips of meat – the closest I could come up with for ‘Geschnetzeltes’ – Zurich style is NOT the same as Zurich-style strips of meat. The…
I really like simple food: a few ingredients, quickly mixed together without much fuss, to great effect. A lot of Japanese food, however, requires years to build up the necessary skills, and hours to find the exact ingredients. I have to admit I would not have the patience to attempt making sushi, and I bet it…
Costa Rica, despite a fantastic start, is perhaps not the most likely candidate to win the World Cup Finals, at least not this time. A rather small county in Central America, it boasts tropical rain forests, beautiful beaches, and a rather oddly named national dish: gallo pinto literally translates to ‘spotted chicken’, despite the fact…
