http://foodblog.schweerelos.net You get them, we get them. Just hope they don't get you. Wed, 06 Feb 2008 05:40:41 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Not much text required, really: I made bagels (following Anne's recipe, with 350g high grade flour and 150g organic wholemeal flour) twice in the last week. They're great. With and without sesame. I first tried out this recipe two years ago and it was quite a failure. Back then I mistreated ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2008/02/06/bagels/ About a year ago, a recipe for No-Knead Bread published in the New York Times made its rounds through the foodblogs. I'm usually quite skeptical about these fads, but I did go and have a look at the recipe after reading so much praise about it. The bread is baked ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2008/01/13/no-knead-bread/ One of my flatmates bought a big bag of courgettes (called zucchini in other parts of the world) the other day. I remembered that we'd once made really nice stuffed courgettes but I couldn't find the recipe anywhere. It think the recipe below is close enough though. This recipe takes a ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2007/12/02/mince-and-feta-stuffed-courgettes/ For those days when the local veggie coop box brought you yet another cauliflower, or when you're recovering from having a wisdom tooth pulled out... I think the basics for this recipe are out of Cuisine (the NZ version), but it's heavily modified. Cauliflower Soup 1 big onion 50g butter 1 cauliflower ca 6 medium-sized potatoes vegetable ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2007/10/04/cauliflower-soup/ This is what I made for dinner tonight (I'm sorry there's no picture; my flatmates came home just when dinner was done and we immediately started eating). Red Rice and Tuna Baskets 3 sheets flaky pastry, frozen (they're about 30x30cm here) 3 handful red thai rice (normal rice probably works just as well) 1 ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2007/10/01/red-rice-and-tuna-baskets/ The other day, I had a good reason for baking a cake. Somehow, I didn't really feel like chocolate (still not quite sure how that could happen, but nevermind...). We did, however, have lots of nice sprayfree lemons in the fridge. So I decided on lemon, passionfruit and preferably white ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2007/10/01/lemon-and-passionfruit-cake/ It's still blueberry season here in New Zealand -- but you have to be a bit careful, some varieties are not really nice. The other day, I made blueberry clafoutis, a recipe I'd wanted to try out for ages. I didn't change much from the original, but here is a translation. Blueberry Clafoutis 500g ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2007/02/17/blueberry-clafoutis/ I felt like baking the other day, so I made chocolate crinkle cookies from a recipe at Anne's Food. It feels a bit strange to make them: most of the moisture comes from melted chocolate and butter, and they have to stand in the fridge overnight. Then you form small balls, ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2006/11/24/chocolate-crinkle-cookies/ Today I tried my first bottle of Innis & Gunn. I think it is one of the best ales I have ever tried, and urge all of you to try it, assuming you like ale. Innis & Gunn won the International Beer Competition 2004, and I understand why. The ale has ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2006/07/30/innis-gunn/ For those of you who do not speak Swedish, that would be "My Grandmothers Rhubarb Pie" (barbarians ,) ). It is not a pie in the traditional sense with a bottom, but it does have a nice crust. When I made it the rhubarb turned out to have a very ... http://foodblog.schweerelos.net/2006/07/30/mormors-rabarberpaj/
