It is fall and hence time to dig up a bunch of roots and stick ’em in the oven. I love to fill the oven with beets, potatoes, celery, bell peppers, pumpkin, onions, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant etc.
It is everything it should be – apart from being very comforting, it it inexpensive, healthy and […]
Salads.
I love to make them and I love to eat them.
I have compiled a small collection of my most recent salads. You might have seen some of them before but I promise that there are also new ones that will make your mouth water.
Ready? Set? Salad!
In a dressing of light Hellman’s […]
I promised you to make your mouth water and you nipples harden.
So.. Here it is:
Food porn!
In no particular order… (And may I also – sadly – for the record say, that I made none of this food… But I ate most of it! )
[…]
The smell of lavender makes me close my eyes and dream that I am somewhere like here:
I do have some rather big lavender bushes in my small garden (as the nun told the sailor) and I have been wanting to make something of them. Seems a waste to […]
Chickpeas have a rather bland flavor, yet with a subtle underlying note of nutty-ness. This means that the little peas are very good at taking the flavour of something else.
Now, while the classic recipes for hummus calls for tahini (sesame paste) and often also Middle -Easterne spices such as cumin, I just go with […]
The Espresso icing makes this a cake for adults. It looks like a million dollars and even with out being Martha Steward, you can make this in 20-30 minutes or so.
You need:
1 liter/ 1 quart heavy cream
50 grams/ 1.8 Oz vanilla sugar
300/ 10,5 Oz. grams […]
Good Looooord!
I grew my own potatoes. Just threw a couple of potatoes (that I had forgotten in the back of a drawer and that I found all nice and sprouted!) in a bucket that I drilled 5-6 holes in for drainage. Sprouts turning up, I covered them with soil. Once a few beautiful green leaves […]
Yesterday, I passed a cherry tree bursting with produce. I was instantly set back 20 years, to a sunny afternoon in Bayview, Oregon, where I spent a lovely afternoon in a cherry tree with my soulmate, fellow-foodie and lovely friend, Abra. I missed her immensely at that moment, as I often do, and set out […]
I just got back from 4 days in the South of France. We did a lot of cooking and a lot of eating.
To get in the right mood, if you want, you can play this while you look at all the yumminess below:
Paris, Schmarish.
London, Schmondon.
Berlin, Schmerlin.
Amsterdam!
Flower markets, lots of yumminess, beautiful architecture, canals, bicycles and tall white people who talk a funny language that sounds like a cross between German, English and someone throwing up. (Someone might think that was a description of Danish, another ugly language that sounds like people gagging on […]
This cake is so bad, it would make any high profile clergy-politician found at a sleazy motel in the company of an underage crack hore and a big bag of bribe money seem good.
It is filled with nuts, butter, eggs and sugar and is very unhealthy. And it tastes so good, you want to […]
We’ve had lots of company recently – and I have thus made lots of deserts!
Here’s a desert easy to make using the afterheat of the coals after a barbecue.
You need:
Peaches (most other fruits can also be used – the sky is the limit!!) Vanilla sugar (sugar blended with real vanilla pods – keeps […]
Here’s a fatty breakfast that will win over anyone who likes that fried, buttery, sweet, cinnamon-y taste…
4 slices of bread – stale is good 2 eggs, whisked with a bit of milk and cinnamon and vanilla sugar Butter for the pan 2 fresh peaches – or bananas might do the trick. Or strawberries – […]
Here’s an easy and delicious salad:
Watermelon in mouth size pieces Feta cheese Sunflower seeds, roasted lightly in a pan with a dollop of honey Rucket leaves Balsamic glaze (storebought – it is too much work to make it your self and it stinks up the house!)
Sunflower seeds are […]
