Last week I commented on an Indian eggplant/aubergine dish which is to die for! It´s called Baingan ka Salaan (Eggplant with a Sauce!) and is typical of the region around Hyderabad. This dish is HOT, so unless you´re a chile freak like me, you may want to cut down on the chile peppers. It also...

I gave up Corporate America in 2001 and opened a Food business: conserves, pickles, chutneys, jellies - you name it, I bottled it. I also followed my passion for cooking and started giving courses, classes, doing lunches, doing events, and so on. The biggest event (so far) was a Gala Dinner for...

Quite often, I'll eat a plate full of salad for lunch. At the moment I can't seem to find my appetite again, after the double flu whammy in December, so today I settled for a chunk of Camembert, fresh arugula/rocket/rucula (whatever you prefer!), fresh butter lettuce, tiny cherry tomatoes from...

For once, I'm going to ask a serious question. Having just experienced 2 Xmas bazaars, I was left with the distinct feeling that everyone looks for something NEW. 3 items were particularily successful; a hot garlic sauce, an Indian condiment called Kasundi, and a neat little concoction I...

Yesterday was the annual "Diplomatic Ladie's Christmas Bazaar". I always get there early so that I can pig myself on French cheese at lunchtime... A Maroilles Mignon; orange-rind cheese from Boulogne-sur-mer. A Pont L'Evêcque A Caprice des Dieux A pyramid of ash-covered goat cheese A...

I picked this recipe up from an Indian website, made a few modifications, and ate it for dinner on Saturday night. "Dum Aloo " ( Aloo is potato and "dum" is originally a technique where the food is sealed inside a pot with a strip of pastry.Hot coals are placed on top , and the pot is placed on...

I've just answered a white vs brown rice post in which an author made what seemed to be an off-the-cuff comment... which was very relevant. Whilst not wanting to get "serious" in this wonderful forum, I think our next challenge as foodies/ chefs/wannabe chefs/ gourmets/ parents is here...
