Classic Food Books/Writers
I agree with you about Nigella Lawson, love her book but not too impressed with her stuff generally.

What writers or books on food do you consider classics? Not just recipe books, but books on food, eating whatever.

Chinese 5 spice - Zambian style
Since coming back to Zambia, I have developed certain cravings (and no, I’m not pregnant!). This is because some things you just can’t get here or they are not as nice as back home or they are so expensive. I have been in mourning for cheese, good quality chocolate, mozzarella di bufala (*sigh*)Thai and Chinese food. My yearnings were only exacerbated after watching a programme about the Cantonese food traditions. I have really missed 5 spice powder which I used to use a lot back in the UK. Than… Continue

Zanzibar Inspired Fish
Soon we'll be returning to Zambia and I cannot wait to share with you all the little known cuisine of this part of Africa, as well as some of my favourite recipes!
In the mean time, here is a kind of stew/curry/soup that was inspired by very little being left in the cupboard, and a desire to cook something that would remind my husband and I of the spectacular food we had when we visited Zanzibar.
I use river cobbler for this dish simply because it is incredibly cheap and keeps its shape when c… Continue

Ray, what a fantastic selection of books, I quite agree about Michael Ruhlman, an excellent chef and entertaining writer ... am off to check out your blog to see how they influence you!

If you're still looking for a recipe for crumpets, I gave them a go a week ago and it went rather well. My post is here, but I got the recipe from Food Stories here.Yummy!
I put together a whole collection of yummy breakfasts for a post a couple of weeks ago. You can find it here - http://www.foodforfriendsyeah.co.uk/2010/01/29/enjoy-eating-eggs-this-weekend/ and it includes recipes for eggs benedict, baked eggs, scra…
Mmm, breakfast... Sometimes I wish I could eat breakfast all day. During the week I have porridge, usually with dates, and sometimes a boiled egg with toast, too. At the weekends, it's any number of eggy combinations. Yesterday I had spicy poached e…
...Certainly not 'Garlic and Sapphires' by Ruth Reichl. I just bought it (cheaply, thank god) and put it down after two chapters. Totally dislocated writing and , quite frankly, a boring story.
For me, the daddy of all is Kitchen Confidential by An…
My own personal favourite is smoked salmon or Mackerel with scrambled eggs. Not what you'd think of for 'healthy' but all good fats and lots of omega 3!!
Hi Liz!
My Mum and I used to make this for breakfast a lot during my teenage years. Oat bran apple cinnamon muffins. Very healthy and filling ( http://bit.ly/8aTlSA )
After spending about a month last July in Spain working on a farm, I developed q…
Hey Liz,
Check this blogpost out, hope you like it as an option :) Rashmi
Thanks Alicia - Got it now. The pearled spelt is the spelt berries with the outer husk taken off - a bit like polished white rice instead of brown.
We make cheese from time to time and use the whey for making sauerkraut and other fermented foodstuf…
This is a great breakfast, filling and delicious.
TASTE OF TEXAS SCRAMBLED EGG TORTILLA WRAPS
2 rashers bacon, fried crispy
*substitute with sausage or ham
2 eggs scrambled
Grated cheese
2 warm flour tortilla wraps
Texas Fire Water
Or
2 tablespoon…
Oh, what is whey syrup? And pearled spelt - how is this different to spelt berries / grains? It's so interesting to hear about unfamiliar foodstuffs.
During the week, I will usually have either buttered (seeded batch wholemeal) toast, or porridge & chopped banana.
The weekends will consist of a Full Scottish Breakfast.... Fried (yolky egg), potato scones, bacon, lorne sausage, buttered toast, a…
I used the River Cottage Bread book recipe for crumpets... it worked in the end!
I think next time I do them it will be a lot easier. Definitely worth a go, though.
How about some healthy eating ideas for the new year?
MaryMoh I LOVE maltesers can't wait to try your recipe
