B is for BANGLADESH. You may be wondering why I am making Payesh – Bangladeshi Rice Pudding when I am already somewhere in the I’s on my more or less alphabetical culinary journey around the world. Simple, Eva requested this recipe the other day before heading back to school and when I went to make […]
Skoudehkaris is the national dish of Djbouti which is located in East Africa and was, at one point, a French colony. We all loved this . Even my generally non-red meat eating husband gave it an 8/10! Eva gave it a 9/10. I really liked it too. It was flavorful and fun to eat because […]
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 […]
Last night was Belize! We made rice and beans with coconut milk. It was ok – glad to have tasted it, but it will probably not be on my list of things to remake. The Bengali rice was definitely superior. Recipe source: Belizian Coconut Rice and Beans
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 […]
C is for China. We had planned to start higher up in the C’s but need to do a bit of defrosting etc before we can delve in. Yesterday was the hmmm what do we have in the house and what will Scott eat. I settled on a mango and chicken recipe. Scott and Eva […]
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 […]
