{No Bake} OTTOLENGHI’S PRESERVED LIMES … Preserve the Bounty
This August, I signed up for the Preserve the Bounty Challenge hosted at Nourished Kitchen which is an intensive 5-week challenge designed to teach you how to preserve the bounty of summer without pulling out the canner. Participants receive an email and tutorial once a week covering a traditional, time-honored food preservation technique. In Jenny’s words, “There’s many, many methods for preserving food without canning; however, in this challenge we’re focused on only a simple handful: freezing, sun drying, salt-curing, oil-curing and fermentation. Each one of these methods helps to maintain nutrient content better than the process of hot water or pressure canning.” Preserve the Bounty: August 2010 It’s August…

{Baking} Ottolenghi’s Individual Cherry & Plum Clafoutis … & a chance to win a Kitchen Aid Mixer
“If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, what Am I Doing in the Pits?” Erma Bombeck YIKES I did it again!! Yes, it was back to the Ottolenghi cookbook for the nth time. Well I had cherries, neatly pitted in a bowl, all thanks to a cherry pitter that Purple Foodie sent me from Mumbai. Well you see, last year I sat for hours pitting cherries by hand, one by end, and sobbed my woe begone tale on twitter. Jamie was horrified that I still lived in the stone age, and didn’t have a cherry pitter! “A what ???” I hollered right back! Never seen one here, and was entirely…

CHICKEN PAILLARD FRIED IN CUMIN BUTTER … MOORISH is the word!!
“We are shameless! We want to seduce you,to stimulate your imagination, invigorate your senses, and tempt you to try the wonderful flavours of Moorish food!” Greg and Lucy Malouf… from the book, Moorish ‘Moorish: Flavours from Mecca to Marrakech‘ by Greg and Lucy Malouf is every bit moorish as the title suggests. Yes, indeed another yummy cookbook is mine! I am the happy recipient of this delicious cookbook. Nanette from Gourmet Warrior in Melbourne recently mailed it to me when I won a raffle for a Blogger Aid event for Haiti. The book which Naneete sponsored for the H2Ope for Haiti event came with mouthwatering recommendations and is now sharing…
