BISCOTTI…The Great Italian Cookie!
“You’ll always make good food from great ingredients,but you will never make great food from bad ingredients.” Michael Chiarrello BISCOTTI in 2 TONES!! Here’s what I baked yesterday…BISCOTTI. It’s been on my mind for really long ever since I’ve been haunted by a picture posted on Group Recipes.This particular biscotti recipe is from Rogers page on Group Recipes which I have adapted to suit the ingredients I had available. The fact that the recipe uses olive oil & not butter won me over!! The recipe is a wee bit fiddly as it uses no butter which makes the dough quite sticky and squishy; but don’t let this put you off.…

GINGER IN MANY AVATARS…Diversity is the ‘Spice of Life’!
“Had I but a penny in the world, thou shouldst have it for gingerbread.” William Shakespeare (1564-1616) GINGER GINGER EVERYWHERE…& a pile of it here!Time again for the monthly ‘Think Spice’ at Sunita’s World & it’s GINGER this time. Known for its great digestive properties & medicinal value, ginger is widely used in cooking in this part of the world. I love the warm, earthy flavour it imparts to dishes it’s added to. I use ginger quite extensively, and thanks to Sunita’s spicy thoughts, have been given an opportunity to post a few recipes. With diversity being the spice of life…here goes! GINGER LEMONGRASS COOLER…I found the idea while browsing…

ESPRESSO CAKE…Can you smell the coffee??
““Everybody should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another coffee.” Author Unknown My ESPRESSO CAKE….Mmmmmmm Here starts a brand new week of coffee opportunities. This happens to me every November, when coffee is my favourite ingredient in my month of the ‘Scorpio’! In my words, there are very few things that I would attach an ‘automatic-droolamatic’ quotient to. This cake is just of those..bittersweet & just the right dessert with a cuppa coffee! This is a must for serious coffee lovers, and recommended for those who would like a change from chocolate.The cake has been put together and is waiting to be cut later this evening. It’s a basic…

CLICK: November 2007…NOODLES
‘It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.‘Laura Ingalls Wilder Am pushing my limits…Between dropping the kids off to school, and now returning to get them back (they come back early today grrrrrrrrr…), I cooked, imagined, clicked,downloaded & am now trying to post. It’s been like this since yesterday. The hubby came back after working all night long ( he’s an aircraft engineer), to receive a call an hour deep into slumber that there was a diverted flight with a medical emergency. So we all rushed madly in all directions…me to get the kids ready for school, and he to resurrect & hit…

SMOKED BUTTER PANEER…Paneer-e-Dhungaar is what I like to call it!
“Raising children is presented at first as a true-false test, then becomes multiple choice, until finally, far along, you realize that it is an endless essay. No one knows anything.”Anna Quindlen SMOKED BUTTER PANEER CURRY…‘Paneer-e-Dhungaar’ is what I like to call it! This recipe is the result of trying to keep the dinner table smiling with eager kids. Here’s a nice change to the regular Indian style cottage cheese/paneer curry. It combines the best of paneer tikka (which has a smoked flavor) & butter paneer. I made this up one day when the kids were losing interest at the dinner table, and I had paneer on hand which I wanted…
