B is for Bangladesh and the best meal we have had yet on our alphabetic gastronomical world tour. Everyone absolutely loved it. We are big cardamon fans…especially Eva. Love how they season oil or ghee with cardamon pods, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, peppercorns and cloves. Always wondered what made rice so tasty…now I know. Watched […]

Bolivia-Picante-de-Pollo

Picante de Pollo – Bolivia

Posted 2 CommentsPosted in Beans, Bolivia, By Country, Chicken, Latin food, Main dishes, Recipes, South American food

My mouth is still on fire from the Bolivian Picante de Pollo. It calls for 1/4 cup of Cayenne pepper….I made a half recipe so I used half…but theoretically the full recipe would have been even hotter. Luckily we had some of the Belizian rice left from last night to temper the heat from this […]

Belgian Endive Salad with Apples and Walnuts

Escalope de dinde, Stoemp aux legumes, brussel sprouts & a Dame Blanche, Gaufres de Liege (Turkey cutlet, Mashed potatoes with vegetables, Ice cream sundae, carmelized Belgian waffles) – Belgium

Belgium was a total winner on our culinary world tour. We started with an endive, apple and walnut salad with a mustard shallot vinaigrette. Eva’s thoughts…AMAZING! Main course was supposed to be a veal cutlet in a beer and carmelized mushroom sauce but we used turkey instead. The greatest discovery though was Stoemp which looks […]

Burundi = beans and onions

Slowly making our ways through the B’s. Last night was Burundi. SALADE AFRICAINE KACHUMBARI. Very tasty. They soak their onions in salt water before putting them in the salad. Apparently a similar salad is eaten in other African countries like Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Checked out on a map where it was located and read […]

Belarus - draniki

Draniki (Potato Pancakes) – Belarus

Posted 2 CommentsPosted in Belarus, By Country, European recipes, Main dishes, meat, Potatoes, Recipes, Side dishes, Starch, Vegetarian

Also made potato pancakes from Belarus known as draniki. There were a bunch of differences between these and the traditional Jewish latke I normally make. 1. they grate the potato super fine. 2. They do not squeeze the juice out of the potatoes so you have a mixture that is the consistency of apple sauce. […]

My friend, James, had asked me what I was planning to make for France on our cullinary tour du monde. Actually, I had planned to skip France as I cook French food all the time. But his question got me thinking…hmmmm, what would I like to make, that I have never made before? The answer…vol […]

Bosnia chicken and peppers

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 […]

Chakalaka – Botswana

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 […]

So tonight was Brazil!!!! Shout out to my dear friend Luiza Kosminsky Scourred a bunch of Brazillian sites trying to figure out what sumptuous brazillian dish I could make that my non-red meat eating husband would eat and stumbled upon Moqueca Bajana, a fish stew. We all LOVED it. In fact, Scott, who is not […]
