Pressure Cooker IKEA Swedish meatball noodle soup anyone? I have just made the most ridiculous dinner ever–that tastes good. Not everyday is beautiful food day. On the days when I’m tired, or when I’m inflamed from Rheumatoid Arthritis, I need something quick and easy. I don’t usually cook with packets of things but my son Alex does love the IKEA sauce mix–and let’s admit it, so do I.

The first thing I think about when I think of party buffet tables (a common thinking subject in my brain) is quiche. It might possibly be seen as a bit retro now, but I’m told (by my teenage children) that retro is good. So we’re bringing back the quiche! Quiche Lorraine is the absolute king of all quiches, and even my egg-wary husband will happily stand over the counter and gobble up two slices of this before it even makes it to the buffet table....

No reviews On a side note, this recipe demonstrates how pH changes occur during cooking using turmeric. Watch how the color will switch from yellow to red and then back to yellow during cooking. Curcumin, the pigment in turmeric, is sensitive to changes in pH and turns red in alkaline environments, which the baking soda provides. 6 1/2 cups/1.5 L water 1 tsp ground turmeric fine sea salt 1/8 tsp baking soda 1 Tbsp sambar masala, homemade or store-bought 1/2 tsp ground Kashmiri chilli powder 2 tsp tamarind paste concentrate 1 large/about 400 g white or yellow onion, quartered or chopped 12 oz/340 g fresh or frozen okra, diced (optional) 1/2 cup/50 g unsweetened shredded fresh or frozen coconut 1 to 2 medium carrots, diced 1 to 2 drumsticks, cut into 2 in/5 cm pieces (optional) For the Tadka 2 Tbsp virgin coconut oil or neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed 1 large whole dried Kashmiri chilli 1 tsp black or brown mustard seeds 10 to 12 curry leaves Comment * Name * Email * Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment....

Today we’re combining a toasty peanut crust with a caramel nut filling and peanut butter milk chocolate topping. Finishing it off with chopped Snickers and salty peanut crumbs. I made this the other weekend on our trip up in the mountains and retested it this past Monday, just to make sure it was totally worth your while....

To all of you non-UK folk out there – have you ever heard of a Bakewell tart? Living in the UK (in fact i’m only about 30 miles from the town of Bakewell) I’m lucky enough to get my fair share of Bakewell tart. I’ve heard that you can’t get it in the USA! Oh my goodness! If I was ever going to emigrate, forget the English teabags and sausage rolls – my suitcase would be full of Bakewell tarts....

The soft swollen dumplings form a top layer by slowly simmering in a sort of rustic thick stew and made for a delectable bite. The creamy sauce has a strong garlic flavor with both savory and sweet notes. Best served piping hot, though tastes equally good at room temperature and makes a delicious side dish along with Mexican rice. A dependable and comforting recipe. 1 Combine all the ingredients under ‘dumplings’ in a bowl, adding enough milk to form a dropping consistency and keep aside....

This week I’m going to focus on one of the other senses that make up the Flavor Equation: Sound. At home, we rely on sound quite a bit in the kitchen; we look for certain sounds during eating and pay attention to certain sounds when we cook. Sounds can indicate quality. Freshness can be conveyed by the crunchy sound of a vegetable, like a stick of celery, as it breaks, the crisp sound of pappadums as they shatter, and the hollow sound that comes from tapping a perfectly ripe watermelon....

Lately, there’s a lot of controversy over recipes with a lot of text before the actual instructions, whether we need it or not. I address this in my essay at the newspaper for my column, the most useful recipes were the ones that described an instruction or introducing me to the history behind an ingredient or the construction of a dish and how it came to be. You can get the recipe and my thoughts at my column here ....

Yesterday there was a bit of chill in the air with no sunlight, pretty dull kind of weather that called for a spiced one pot dish like Vangi Bhath aka Brinjal Rice. There are a good number of Vangi Bhath Masala versions based on the region its prepared. Many spices go into the making of Vangi Bath masala and if you think too many spices might overwhelm the rice dish, you are wrong, as each spice lends a unique flavor of this brinjal rice....

You can explore with different spices but go slow on the amount of spices you’d add to the marinade. You wouldn’t want the spices to overpower the flavor of fish. I have avoided garam masala but a pinch can be added. Do not omit lemon since its the key to the bright flavor of fish roast. 1 Combine ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, red chilli pwd, turmeric pwd, cumin pwd and coriander pwd in a flat dish....

These eggplants sometimes have a bitter taste, especially during summers, and you can offset the bitterness by sprinkling a tsp of salt over them and place them in a colander so that the bitter juice of the brinjal pieces trickles down. Then wash them thoroughly in water and squeeze off excess water. Vakaaya Paalu (milk) Posina (pour) Kura is a very simple, easy-to-make, healthy dish where the brinjals (as name suggests in Telugu) are cooked in milk which gives the curry a rich and sweet flavor....

One of the things, my mom and I like to do is, snack. We snack a lot and if there was one way to mark the start of the new year here, an appetizer or some sort of snack would be fitting. And so I have an easy hazelnut and walnut based pâté flavored with mushrooms, tea and a few aromatics for you. To make a nut based pâté, you’ll need a blender with a bit of oomph to grind those nuts down and the powerful new Ascent blender from Vitamixdoes just that!...

Now that Sally’s Candy Addiction book tour has come to a close (still working on a few random stops through the year, stay tuned Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Canada!) and I’ve made 598 batches of caramels and toffee for all the book tour stops, I have… more candy for you. Caramel candy to be exact. In the form of a cluster, similar to a turtle candy but we’ll swap out pecans for buttery cashews and semi-sweet chocolate for creamy white chocolate....
