November’s kitchen Queen of the month is Görel from Grain Doe and the bread of choice is knäckebröd .
Let me say: I love knäckebröd or - as we call it in Austria - Knäckebrot!
The recipe was real fun to play with I only halfed it as usual due to the fact that I am only one person in my household.
I made the dough yesterday evening as I was planning to bake yesterday but ...... [Show More]

"Tis the season to be be jolly!"
Yes - we are headed towards the end of the year and for me as soon as Halloween is tucked away back in the dungeons, I put all my focus into Thanksgiving and Christmas. Probably it’s the same with many of you.
How many have already got ...... [Show More]

I have to admit and bow my head in shame: I am not doing well with doughs like Challa or Striezel or Pinzen…
They just never seem to work out and always lose their shape to a formless mass. Don’t get me wrong they taste good tho but when I try to bake them they always come out looking like the ugliest thing on earth you have ever seen.
The newest quest of the ever gorgeous Bread Ba...... [Show More]

Bread baking Babes were striking again and this month it was Monique from Living on Bread and Water who was the Kitchen Hostess of the Month.
She chose a wonderful Dutch sweet bread which sounded very interesting to me when I first saw it on the BBB blogs. I already made the bread last friday but didn’t have the time to blog it until today. :( So I also missed the deadline fpr being...... [Show More]
When trying out a new recipe, do you sometimes get the feeling that it’s just not going to work? Finding out towards the end of cooking can be frustrating but luckily, the warning signs for this country-style whole wheat pita bread were obvious early in the process. While kneading by hand, the dough basically refused to come together for me.
Using the highest recommended amount of whole wh...... [Show More]

Eat those vegetables!
You need to eat your fruits!
How many of us have grown up on those words from our diligent mothers? I for one clearly remember my mother always telling me how important vegetables and fruits are for our health and daily nutrition. However, my mother never shoved these words down our throats. Both my brother and I grew up loving spinach and enjoying ...... [Show More]
The Bread Baking Babes are striking again and this month it is PITA. Ilva of Lucullian Delights is hosting as Kitchen of the Month . She is the one who chose the recipe :o)
I promised to Sher some months ago to try and improve my bread baking skills by baking the BBB’s breads and try to earn me a Bread Baking Buddy Badge .
Sher I am sure you are looking down at me right now and i...... [Show More]
Ever since I published these photos , I know our good friend Gil has been wondering about whether the prickly pears (fichi d’India) are ripe, and well, I’m happy to announce, the time has arrived (see left)!
So for today’s What’s Cooking Wednesday , a quick lesson in prickly pears .
The prickly pear, or fico d’India in Italian, is the fruit th...... [Show More]
Some beautiful foods just aren’t pretty to look at, and these eggplant cakes fall into that category. They taste wonderful and take on a beautiful brown color, but on the plate it looks like fried mud and grass clippings. In spite of their unassuming looks, we enjoyed these little tidbits from Marcella Hazan’s tome Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking . It has long been a favorite ...... [Show More]
july 2008 roundup Post Source: www.columbusfoodie.com Posted: Aug 02 2008 05:58:43
I know it’s not much of an introduction to the roundup, because I wanted to get this posted before the month was half over. Now that I’m not participating in as many blogging events, I’ll have the time to update the events/menus/etc. Keep an eye out for new additions to both. It’s 2am, and I’m off to sleep so I can get up in the morning to go to the farmers markets....... [Show More]

Herbs and spices are defined by their culinary use, not by plant. When using the leafy part of the plant, it’s an herb; when using any other part of the plant, including the roots, bark, seeds, berries, fruit, it’s a spice. Fresh herbs add an abundance of flavor to dishes and changing herbs withi...... [Show More]
june 2008 roundup Post Source: www.columbusfoodie.com Posted: Jul 09 2008 18:20:50
Before I start the roundup, I just wanted to mention a couple of quick things. I got an email from Bear the other day, telling me about a benefit that I want to get the word out on - here’s the details via The Twisted Vine:
On Sunday, July 13, there is a Mexican buffet at Alana’s from 4-8PM. Admission is $50 and those interested in margaritas, etc. can purchase those separately. Pro...... [Show More]
Agretti, also known as Salsola Soda , or Opposite Leaved Saltwort, Roscano, or Barba Di Frate (friar’s beard in Italian) has the interesting property of thriving when irrigated with salt water, though I am certain that the sample shown here from Star Route Farms in Marin County used POW (plain old water).
I tasted a piece before buying a bunch and can report that agrett...... [Show More]
"This is good!" my mom exclaimed after she took a bite of my oven-roasted, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, courtesy of Ilva’s recipe . She sounded and looked very surprised as she continued to eat it. She’s right: It WAS good.
I mentioned in a previous post that I never used to like eggplants — till I started cooking. Well, you can add asparag...... [Show More]
After some dental surgery the other day, I am finally able to eat something other than "soft" food. I still have to be careful about what I put into my mouth and decided to make Ilva’s Chili Sauteed Eggplant with Beans, Parsley and Lemon . Actually, I didn’t have any chili peppers and used crushed red pepper. It worked. I not only liked the taste of the foo...... [Show More]
Ilva’s salads are always sure winners for me. And here’s another one that recently caught my eye — Tepid Chickpea and Chicken Salad with Zucchini and Sundried Tomatoes. I loved this one. I loved that the ingredients are simple and delicious. Everything went well together — the chicken, chickpeas, sundried tomatoes, parsley and garlic. Mixed with lemon j...... [Show More]
Just in time for St. Patrick’s day we’ve put together a collection of some fantastic green recipes - dark leafy green to be exact. It seems we can’t be reminded often enough about the powerful role that these veggies play in a healthy diet. Packed with calcium, folic acid, iron, potassium, vitamins A, C, and K - they are one of nature’s multivitamins. And we love them al...... [Show More]
