Today, I have the pleasure of having another good friend helping me out at the last minute by doing a fabulous guest post. Most of y'all know her already, Minnie from the wonderful blog The Lady 8 Home. When Minnie asked me what I would like her to write about, it was easy, I asked her to do something traditionally Bengali and she didn't disappoint. This is an amazing Bengali fish dish alive with strong, vibrant flavour with a hint of tropical spice. Thank you Minnie for taking the time out to cook, plate, photograph and eat this for me. Everyone is going to love it! ************************************************************************************** Hello All, it's a pleasure to be here at Nazneen's blog today. Many thanks Nazneen for this opportunity. My name is Minnie, and I am the author, chef, cleaner and caretaker all rolled into one at The Lady 8 Home. I grew up in India, and U.S of A is my adopted country now. I grew up eating Indian food only, and whatever other cuisines we ate, it was always flavored with Indian spices. Once in USA, my taste buds got exposed to a plethora of flavors hitherto unknown to it. Fusion stepped in, as did experimentation with herbs that had ... continue reading...
Tea Time, Movies and a Country Walk
Today's guest blogger is someone I've known for a while now. We both started our blogs the same year, just a few months here and there. We first met during an Ottolenghi cheesecake challenge and once I visited her blog and found out she was a fellow Brit, I became an instant follower. To me visiting Glamorous Glutton is like going back home for a bit. I keep apprised of all the goings on in the UK there with the additional treat of acquiring a new recipe. I appreciate GG doing this for me on such short notice and she has done a brilliant job! I couldn't ask for more, tea, cake and a walk in an English village. Thank you so much GG!! Please everyone, welcome GG and please visit her amazing site to see more of her recipes and to read about the UK. ************************************************************************* Nazneen very kindly asked me to guest blog for her, of course as a fellow Brit, although she is now living in the US, I jumped at the opportunity. Nazneen was one of the first people to comment on my blog when I started and has been a loyal supporter ever since. As a small child I hated going for walks. A seemingly unending trail through London parks whilst the ... continue reading...
Pão de Mel ~ Honey Bread
This week I have some wonderful guest bloggers helping me out as I enjoy some time with my family. I called on some of my great friends and bloggers, on short notice no less, and they all delivered beautifully. I am so grateful to them for helping me out and allowing me to enjoy my time at the wedding without having to worry about my site. Today's guest is the wonderful Denise who is the author of From Brazil To You. Denise and I just "met" this year and we have become great friends. She lives in San Antonio and if I had known her in January, I would most definitely met up with her for coffee and some of her delectable goodies. Denise is Brazilian and her blog showcases all things Brazilian. I learn so much from visiting her site about Brazil, a country we associate mainly with football! But it is so much more with such a diverse population and cuisine. So, thank you my friend for introducing me to beautiful Brazil and all its vibrancy, beauty and delicious cuisine. Everyone, please help me welcome Denise and visit her blog for some great Brazilian fun facts and food. ************************************************************************************************ I had just ... continue reading...
Lemon Mascarpone Roulade for Easter
I have mentioned in the past that my primary education took place at a convent. My parents were very particular about our education and wanted a school that not only was academically strong, but also put a strong emphasis on etiquette, morals and faith. I went to school with some wonderful girls from all over the world. Just because it was a convent, it didn't mean that all who went were Catholics, we were a diverse bunch of children; Muslims, Catholics, Jews and Hindus who all studied, learned, laughed and played together in harmony. My exposure at a young age to so many people of different faiths and cultures really helped broaden my mind and my attitude towards peoples of all backgrounds. The years spent at the convent were some of the happiest and fulfilling ones of my life. The friendship bonds I made back then are very much alive and well today and I am honoured to be friends with some amazing women. Of course, since it was a convent, we had celebrations for all major Christian holidays. As a Muslim, I didn't celebrate these at home but my parents had no problem with me going to spend the day at friends' houses if I was invited. My best friend, who was almost an only child ( ... continue reading...
Making Mascarpone ~ March 2013 Daring Cooks’
Ever since I joined Daring Cooks and Daring Bakers, I have been able to only participate a couple of times. It's typical isn't it? You think forever about whether you can commit and then decide, it'll be ok, you can do it and then BAM! One thing after another and you can't. Some months it has been family commitments, or my health issues or challenges that themselves pose a challenge (particularly challenges heavy on pork or alcohol that we do not consume). This month, however, I was hell bent on making sure I would participate in at least one challenge even though I have so much going on right now. I think what made it so easy was researching the challenge and finding some cheeses that are so easy to make. I have made cheese before but I wanted to try something a little harder, but not so hard that it would take up a lot of time that I don't have. I also wanted a cheese I like to eat and use in my recipes. Sawsan from Chef in Disguise was our March 2013 Daring Cooks' hostess! Sawsan challenges us to make our own homemade cheeses! She gave us a variety of choices to make, all of them easily accomplished and delicious! Sawsan's research pointed me in the direction of another ... continue reading...
