Smoky Baked Mushroom Cheese Dip with #bigbanyanwines for the holidays
Smoky Baked Mushroom Cheese Dip is a definite crowd pleaser, and a great addition to the holiday table. Smoky Gouda, wine simmered mushrooms, garlic and fresh thyme make one of the best cheesy dips ever. Baked briefly under a hot grill until the cheese melts into gooey goodness. Serve immediately with simple crusty artisan bread to soak up the wine juices and deliciously flavoured cheese.

Persian Roasted Eggplant Walnut Dip … earthy, smokey, moorish, delicious!
This Persian Roasted Eggplant & Walnut Dip has a lot to offer. The twice used garlic, the walnuts, then the creaminess from Greek yogurt make it endearing. The caramelised sweet onions and garlic add more depth to the flavour. Play around with ingredients to suit your palette. That's the beauty of dips.

CHIPOTLE GARLIC FOCACCIA & ROMESCO DIP
“We may not be able to get certainty, but we can get probability, and half a loaf is better than no bread.” C.S. Lewis Made some scrumptious Chipotle Garlic Focaccia some days ago, & it’s begging me to get posted. The pressure of posts lining up is threatening to burst my drafts folder, as I struggle with this silly writer’s block. No time on hand is another matter altogether, & as I recently said to Judy (on Twitter obviously) – It’s a wonder we get anything done…half my recent life has been twittered away!! And then of course there’s always the Greek foodie, Peter, who twitters about wondering which post…

LAVASH CRACKERS AGAIN, WITH A ROASTED BELL PEPPER DIP…GUILT-FREE SNACKING!!
“Good taste is as tiring as good company.” Francis Picabia There’s something about these crackers. Never has guilt free snacking been this indulgent, this happy! Munch till you drop? These crackers take food addiction to a new level…no stops here. This is the only time I’ve actually repeated a Daring Baker challenge, that too, more than once. The vegan lavash crackers continue to entice me. The dip I made this time is inspired by the one I saw at Meeta @ What’s For Lunch Honey? . The look of it had me absolutely mesmerised…the Ajvar dip; a Middle Eastern eggplant & roasted bell pepper dip. However, I have quite an…

HOT SWEETCORN DIP…Totally addictive!!
“The belly rules the mind” Spanish Proverb A new recent discovery has been Closet Cooking, Kevin’s fabulous blog that had me wanting for more with each label that I clicked. As I said to him, each post of his made me more anxious as I went through a bookmarking frenzy the first time I visited it in depth!! Was just a matter of time before I attempted one of the bookmarks…the HOT CORN DIP! I love the use of colour in making food…just sets the place on fire. Spend half my time playing with colours. I had to make my deviations because I tend to avoid mayonnaise (because of raw…

Indian Flatbread / Chapati Wraps with Turkish kebabs … WRAPPING IT UP…
“Blues is to jazz what yeast is to bread. Without it, it’s flat.” Carmen McRae, Jazz vocalist and pianist Indian Flatbread … Chapati / Roti Wrapping it up…fresh,healthy & fun! Here’s what I did with part of the Turkish Adana Kebabs I made a few days ago. I made Indian unleavened flatbreads, chapati or roti, & made wraps using the kebabs as the filling, with bell peppers, onions, a Yogurt dip & a new discovery…Pomegranate Molasses. Served it with a Mexican corn salad on the side. I find unleavened flatbreads very healthy & versatile. They are made out of whole wheat flour dough only, which just has to be kneaded…
