So the last time we went to our regular farmer’s market, we told you that we picked up some venison. And we made venison stew and it was GOOD. Mmm we miss that stew. But we also picked up some smoked English mozzarella (and regular mozzarella) that we promptly forgot about. Don’t get us wrong … Continue reading
It’s funny because having grown up on “regular” meats – chicken, lamb, fish – over the past few years we have developed a love for venison. We do feel ever so slightly pretentious by seeking it out but actually it’s proving to be quite a versatile meat. We’ve had venison burgers, roast venison haunch, venison … Continue reading
We read somewhere that Madhur Jaffrey (Indian cooking legend) learned to cook only after she moved to London for university. Her mother would send her recipes from home to ease her homesickness and the rest is history. Now we learned how to cook much earlier than that, but our mother still likes to supplement our … Continue reading
There was a time – not too long ago – when we did not like salads. At all. The Salad seemed to represent self-denial and bland rabbit food. We just could not understand why someone would willingly choose one as a main meal. Now – it’s a different story because we’ve realised a salad, could … Continue reading
So when we rediscovered the fig jam we bought on our Croatian holiday in our cupboards, we were revisited by all the memories of the beautiful food we ate there. One of the things we tried was burek – pastries that originate from Turkey but are found all over the Balkans. We loved them and … Continue reading
So we just came back from an epic trip to Seoul, South Korea and we had to share something amazing (and of course food-related) with you that we discovered: Korean vegan food. Yes, we didn’t know about it either. We like to think that we are knowledgeable about quite a few international food cultures and … Continue reading
We truly believe that there’s nothing that can’t be improved with mozzarella. Even mozzarella. When in doubt, add (more) mozzarella. Fresh and uncooked with chopped tomatoes, on pizza, even on plantains, it’s absolutely gorgeous. So you know Melanzane alla Parmigiana, you’ve seen our Plaintain alla Parmigiana and now have a look at our equally yummy … Continue reading
So we’re always going on about how easy it is to make things at home that you’d usually buy at the supermarket instead. And we’re telling you today that you need to start making your own fishcakes. Honestly, you have no idea what are in those supermarket ones. Plus maybe they drop them on the … Continue reading
We love a good deal. 2 for 1, half price, reduced items – who doesn’t love a bargain! Call it in the immigrant instinct in us or something. Anyway, we spotted a leg of lamb on special offer and couldn’t pass it up. Normally, we would roast meat simply to allow us to use it … Continue reading
As you know, a couple of weeks ago, we asked, “what are we going to do with the kale pesto” we made. Here’s one super yummy solution – put it on pizza and add mozzarella ad artichokes! It was actually a perfect solution – an example of how the universe comes together in a way … Continue reading
