Campanelle with aubergines, zucchini and feta

17. April 2008

I found this Greek, traditionally made pasta and I am a sucker for nice packaging so I bought it. I also thought, let’s try it and see if we like it for the deli. I decided to prepare it with aubergines, zucchini and feta cheese. It’s not a fancy recipe, but it is really tasty [...]

This was another one of those days when you don’t have time to go shopping and have to make do with whatever there is in the fridge. It was my son’s birthday so I had to make the things he like best, which is soya kebabs and chips. Peas and potatoes are a staple in [...]

"Olive oil? Asparagus? If your mother wasn’t so fancy, we could shop at the gas station like normal people." Homer Simpson That’s a springtime classic. I should have made the ravioli myself. But I wanted this for a picnic and since it wouldn’t be served immediately and would be eaten cold, I thought “why [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 don’t think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble. (Agatha Christie) I thought I could make this recipe when I have people over and am too bored to cook properly for some reason (what reason?). It looks [...]
