"Like to cook" - the second helping

[Dartz]

250ml Coka Cola
250ml Ketchup
60ml Worcester sauce

1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sault

Raspberry Mousse (contains gelatine)

Mango Vanilla Mousse (contains coconut oil)

Chocolate Mousse

[robkelk]

Summer Berries & Lemon Cream Choux

Literally a Cordon Bleu recipe

[robkelk]

Lamb and Apricot Pine Nut Pilaf

Contains the three "c"s: cardamom, cinnamon, and clove.

They suggest a side dish to serve this with, but I think it looks to be a meal in itself...

[robkelk]

Butter Chicken

Contains cashews.

(And please buy the cookbook that this is from.)

Pirate Treasure Pancakes

While this one does have a recipe for pancakes, the important part is the techniques used to make the itty-bitty pancakes.

[hazard]

Or purchase a 'poffertjes' pan (the English translation is 'Dutch miniature pancakes', so...) and make those. They are usually served with powdered sugar and whipped cream. The recipe AFAIK isn't meaningfully different from pancake batter and usually they are flipped with a toothpick or small fork. Greasing the pan in that case is often done with a cooking brush dipped in oil.

Something both ancient and vegan...

Syrian "Foul Shami "

മെഴുകുപുരട്ടി - or, in the Latin alphabet, Mezhukkupuratti. This recipe replaces the usual ivy gourd with zucchini, so I won't be trying it.

Oh, about a month or so back, Peggy and Helen went shopping at the Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater (about an hour away from us) and came back with (among other things) a block of frozen cooked udon noodles. So in the last few weeks I've made a couple of udon dishes:

Yaki udon -- stir fried udon

Nabeyaki udon -- udon soup

The latter recipe I tweaked a fair deal, skipping the tempura topping and the fish roll because I don't do seafood, but it came out great. I have a standing request from Peggy to make both again. (But we don't have enough udon left! Oh no!)

[hazard]

I'm pretty sure you can acquire udon uncooked easily enough, and as it's uncooked you can just have it delivered through the mail if you find shopping for it too bothersome.

I mean, it's just pasta.

[Bob Schroeck]

Oh, we can get it much closer. It's just that she surprised me with it and I had to find recipes so it didn't live permanently in the freezer.

Edit: I should note that we (Peg and I, and/or our friends) head up to the Mitsuwa market as a fun daytrip. They have a food court with branches of some Japanese franchises that don't otherwise set up in the states, their grocery has a few products we can't find at closer Asian groceries (although the local H Mart has started stocking a few), they have a branch of NYC's Kinokuniya Book Store... stuff like that. It's not a shopping trip, it's a daytrip for a good meal that usually ends up with groceries coming back with us.

makes sense to me~!

The radio recipes should be returning this weekend - the first episode of the new season was aired today, and it takes a few days between airing of the episode and posting of the recipe.

While we're waiting:

Pikoodinigan

If you don't speak Algonquin, call it "maple toffee". The ingredient list has one entry.

The radio recipes should be returning this weekend

It did - we were distracted.

Happy Thanksgiving!

(Canadian Thanksgiving, that is.)

Last week's radio recipe is tandoori turkey. (Or tandoori tofu, or chicken, or shrimp - the recipe is for the marinade.)

[robkelk]

Last week's radio recipe is Ravioli con spinaci e formaggio

Meatless, but contains cheese ("formaggio") and egg.

[robkelk]

Last week's radio recipe is brine for poultry.

[robkelk]

While we're waiting for last week's radio recipe, here's a short quiz, aimed at kids: Can you tell the difference between vegetarian and vegan?

[robkelk]

Have a list: 12 one-pot wonder meals to make all season

Nine soups, two main courses, and one dessert. Recipes range from vegan to heavy on the beef.

[Star Ranger4]

Its not as important for YOU, Rob, since your 'harvest' festival was almost a month ago, but its good timing for those of us south of you.

While I have never done so myself, its claimed on a LOT of cooking shows that Brining one's bird is THE secret to both flavor and moisture

The jury's out on that, the last I heard. But there might have been some blind taste-tests that I'm not aware of.

Anyway...

Last week's radio recipe is brine for poultry.

[Star Ranger4]

True, Rob.

[robkelk]

Just discovered a Facebook group called "The Arctic Kitchen". I don't do Facebook. But there's a couple of recipes from that group on the web: cranberry bannock muffins and cake doughnuts from scratch.

[robkelk]

The radio recipes have been irregular lately... Last week's is butternut squash velouté with sweetbreads. (Contains rum.)
