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:…
Last week’s food headlines proclaimed that the Mediterranean diet, according to an American study, may slow the aging process of our brains considerably. How fortunate for me that I had just purchased a kitchen gadget that would ensure my following of that particular diet: a churros press.Similar to donuts, churros are deep-fat fried and covered…
When I was making ceviche the other week it clearly marked the beginning of a new phase in my life: the raw fish period, as posterity will clearly call it. Fresh fish has such a wonderful texture that to cook it often comes close to a crime. The only way to keep it that way…
The first time I ate raw seafood was when I was around 8 or 9: sitting on a rock off the Greek coast, my new-found friends showed me how to pick sea-urchins, pull them of the ground, knock them against the rock to open them and suck the insides out, on the spot. Needless to…
Perhaps one of the most beautiful preserves, these turnips are a pickled showstopper! I saw them on our trip to Edgware Road, where you can buy them ready-made in many of the little Middle Eastern shops, and where Petra and I enjoyed them as part of our Lebanese lunch. They work perfectly with other mezze,…
If you like the idea of ‘party food’ as food that involves making the food rather than just eating it, this is the dish to go for! Last year, I had the privilege to watch two experts making filo pastry for the classic Bosnian Sirnica, and what started out as harmless fun has become a proper…
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…
When Christine of Anna Antonia asked me to take part in a blogging event that required 3 bloggers to come up with a 3-course meal, I was incredibly excited – and when Christie of ASausageHasTwo joined, our theme was a no-brainer: English-Swabian fusion food. The idea o the ‘Flotter Dreier’ (a daring innuendo, I have to…
It’s been a rather quiet few days on the blog, with my new celebrity lifestyle taking its toll: marking piles of coursework, planning the final lessons of the year and getting two kids from A to B via C. I even considered buying outsized sunglasses, but then remembered that our heatwaves are as short-lived as…
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.…
