Working our way through the B’s. Today was Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Balken Peninsula. Much of the food was heavy and in phylo or with red meat (which my husband does not eat – so it makes it more challenging to find recipes sometimes…like in this case). I settled on a Kljukusa, which is […]

As soon as we sat down for food from BOTSWANA, what does Eva say? Hey, that is where Bill from Mama Mia went! She was indeed correct… “Bloke in a Boat in Botswana” The food seems to fit the type of profile a bloke in a boat might eat – earthy, rustic, simple down home […]

Costa Rica - Fish with a side of rice, tomatoes and oranges

Costa Rican Talapia with Orange & Tomato Rice and Beans – Costa Rica

Posted alisaglickLeave a commentPosted in Beans, By Country, Central American food, Costa Rica, Fish, Gluten Free, Healthy, Latin food, Main dishes, Recipes, Rice, Side dishes, Top 10

Today’s culinary destination was Costa Rica. Tilapia on a bed of rice, beans, oranges and tomatoes. Funny because the fish itself was very much like how I generally make fish when I cook on my own and without recipes…I tend to marinate chicken or fish in garlic or onions, lemon or lime juice and sometimes […]

Our Colombian adventure was not only fabulous (all of us enjoyed it) but it was so good that it made it to our top 10! We had not planned to do Colombia until a bit later, but I had some defrosted chicken in the fridge so I looked up Colombian chicken recipes and stumbled upon […]

C is also for Cambodia. I made Trey Kho Manor which is a carmelized fish and pineapple dish. We served it with rice which is commong. This dish is often made with whole fish, but I was unable to get a whole fish at the supermarket so I did the best I could. Apparently fish […]

So excited to move on to the C’s with our cooking adventure that we almost accidently skipped our last B – BULGARIA. Thank goodness we didn’t skip it, because it was one of Scott’s favorite meals so far. We had an eggplant dish called KYOPOOLU. It consists of roasted eggplant and pepper combined with tomato […]

Burmese Kaukswe (Tofu with Yellow Coconut Curry) – Burma

We decided to do another burmese dish in tribute to my brother Bhikkhu Subhuti, who was kind enough to help me make this blog a reality. In his other life (pre-monk life) he was a highly skilled programmer… and now he occassionally uses his skills to help others, but generally tries not to spend to […]
