Portobellos stuffed with cracked wheat

Thursday, April 20, 2006

Life definitely isn’t too short too stuff a mushroom, especially if it’s a big and juicy portobello mushroom. So I bought some portobellos the other day but didn’t want to just grill them or stuff them with cheeses. I wanted to make a meal out of them, so I decided to stuff them with some [...]

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore This is a thin and crispy dough. It’s my favourite dough because it lets me eat more pizza as I don’t feel full after the first piece. Making the dough is neither difficult nor time consuming. And it’s a shame to just make [...]

“Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds. Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.” Hans Christian Andersen – The Princess and the Pea Hilopittes and peas Hilopittes are a kind of noodle. They [...]

This is a recipe that combines two or three recipes I found in the New Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas and in the BBC recipes section (sadly, I had done this a long time ago and it seems I have cooked up the exact link). I had bought the Vegetarian Epicure when I was a [...]

No bake Chocolate Cheesecake

I made this for my birthday and it was seductive and enticing. Because it is easy to make, it doesn’t mean it is harmless. When people ask me “is it too fattening?” I simple answer “it doesn’t have any added sugar”. And it really doesn’t. What does it need sugar for? But I have another [...]

This recipe happened only because I had a spare pastry sheet in the fridge. But it was a success so it might become a classic. Where classic means, the food I prepare when I feel insecure and doubt my abilities and want to make something secure. It takes no time at all, although the pious [...]

“Life is a combination of magic and pasta." Federico Fellini My favourite scene from my favourite movie Lost in Translation, is the one where Bob (Bill Murray) realizes that the situation with his wife is rather irreversible and tries to tell her so on the phone, while he is soaking in the jacuzzi of the Japanese [...]

There are countless ways to make veggie burgers, and every vegetarian / vegan knows that. I just take a look in the cupboards to see what there is available and start from there. This time it was lentils and soya, next time it might be mushrooms or chickpeas. You’ll need: 100 [...]

I’m red but not embarrassed

Only the pure at heart can make a good soup. Ludwig van Beethoven People are at variance on the point of red food. Some say red food is not real food. I talked about it to my friend Steve and he said real food cannot be red. Not even tomatoes, “the devil’s food”. But this [...]

Penny is my sister and this is her cheese pie. She makes her own pastry. Truly, it takes less time that waiting for the ready made to defrost. The fact that my sister is on diet all the time, won’t stop her from making cheese sauce and adding it to the pie which she [...]
