Welcome back to week 2 of my Sunday how-to lessons! This week’s topic: fish and how to grill ‘em. Grilling fish can be tricky; cook them too little and you could get sick, but overcook them and you have dry, flavorless (and maybe even charred!) fish. Keep reading to learn the one rule of thumb for grilling fish that every person should know, plus plenty of other helpful tips! Continue reading »

Spud Sunday: Chive Talkin’
A post by Daily Spud at The Daily Spud
Sometimes, you read a recipe and it wrecks your head.
Case in point: while nosing around the the Idaho Potato Commission website (as you do), I happened upon this, a recipe for baked potato cookies with sour cream and chives. It fairly stopped me in my tracks, I can tell you.
It wasn’t that the recipe called for the use of mashed potato in a sweet, baked good. What with potato bakewell tarts, potato apple parcels and chocolate potato buns, I’m all over that one myself. Continue reading »
This Weeks Guest Chef – Paul Ricketts cooks Tempura Lobster
A post by noreply@blogger.com (Zack Gallagher) at The Irish Food Guide Blog
Paul Ricketts was born in England. His Irish roots were strong and he moved to Ireland 20 years ago. Trained as a chef, Paul spent many years fishing Lobsters & Crabs and he now runs daily fishing trips out of Donegal Town’s old Pier. Paul has been a long-time advocate of fresh Lobster. “It really is the juicest seafood there is” he says, “and if you buy it fresh from your fishmonger, it is no more expensive than any other quality fish or seafood!”.

At the time it was absolutely devoured and barely a crumb remained. This time around, I decided to use apricots from a tin as they are soft and succulent and don’t need peeling and stoning unlike fresh apricots. This makes this cake a perfect storecupboard recipe as chances are that you will have.

I use tripoline past as it carries the sauce very well and I love it appearance a thick ribbon ridged on one side, it is also known in the Diver household as squid pasta as the ribbons do look quiet like tentacles.

Doughnuts!A post by Kel at The Gluten Free Photographer I don’t know about you, but the problem with me is that I always want to eat dessert not long before bedtime. My favourite ‘midnight snack’ is my take on French Market Doughnuts, also known as Beignets. In fairness to the excellence of the original Beignet, my version is quite different as my recipe doesn’t allow the dough to prove for around an hour as a typical recipe of this nature would call.

Unlike Jack (of beanstalk fame) I wasn’t taking my cow to market. I was waiting to be interviewed on the Morning Show on East Coast FM, when Stephen McCabe walked in, bringing with him a delicious aroma of freshly-roasted coffee beans. Let them eat cake! We got chatting and it turns out that Stephen is master roaster at McCabe’s Hand-Roasted Coffee.

SalmoriglioA post by sheila kiely at Gimmetherecipe Risotto with fresh musselsA post by Matt Kane at Curious: The Curious Wines Wine Blog It was the New Zealand green lip mussels that I grew to adore on my trip around the world a few years ago, but I think the mussels farmed off our own shores are superior. Smaller, yes, but they have a better flavour. This risotto with mussels dish was enjoyed a few months ago after a trip to Cork’s English market. Continue reading » |
