The Origins Of Traditional Halloween Food

October 31st 2011 00:57
Halloween pumpkin jack o lantern carving
Halloween began as an Irish, Celtic and Scottish tradition celebrating harvest time at the end of summer. During the eighth century the Catholic Church designated the first day of November as 'All Saints Day ('All Hallows') - a day of commemoration for those Saints that did not have a specific day of remembrance. The night before was known as 'All Hallows Eve' which, over time, became known as Halloween.

The traditional Halloween cake in Ireland is the barnbrack cake which is a fruit bread. Other traditional foods included colcannon, a meal of potato, kale and onion. Coins were wrapped in baking paper and placed in the food for children to find and keep.

Villagers in Ireland hoped that a lantern carved from a turnip in their window would keep wandering spirits away. When millions of Irish migrated to America there was not a great supply of turnips so pumpkins were used instead and the Jack-o-lantern was born.

In modern times Halloween food includes toffee apples (candy apples),
Pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup and pumpkin bread as well as spooky food such as witches fingers, grape eyeballs, watermelon brains and chocolate spiders for kids parties.

Authentic Homemade Pizza Bases Recipe

October 14th 2011 02:10
home made pizza dough proving yeast
If you find that pizzas from pizzerias are too greasy, or you like a particular combination of toppings, why not make your own pizzas at home? Not only are they always piping hot, but it is cheaper too, after the initial investment in a bag of flour, a packet of yeast, a pepperoni, a jar of anchovies etc.
The pizza dough takes time to rise so I make the dough in the afternoon and by dinner time it is ready to roll out and top with yummy ingredients.
‘Bread improver’ contains secret ingredients known only to bakers. It is not an essential ingredient but it does make yeast dough rise better

Homemade Gnocchi Carbonara Recipe

June 24th 2011 08:06
homemade gnocchi carbonara with parmesan cheese
Pasta carbonara is not a classical Italian dish like cannelloni or lasagne, but a relatively modern one. Carbonara is Italian for ‘charcoal burner.’ Initially made with just bacon, beaten egg and salt and pepper, Pasta carbonara is believed to have originated when American soldiers were stationed in Italy at the end of World War II. The GI’s were issued with bacon and powdered egg which they bartered with the locals.

In the following recipe with step by step pics, I demonstrate Gnocchi Carbonara the way it is made in many restaurants, with the addition of cream and mushrooms

Fried Pickles Recipe For Zesty American Appetizer

March 11th 2011 03:02
Fried pickles recipe American appetizer USA
The United States is not widely renowned for fine food but several valid styles of cuisine have developed there. Cajun cookery was created by French Canadians expelled to Louisiana by the British. Creole (meaning mixture) was developed in the cultural melting pot of New Orleans, and Tex-Mex largely owes its inspiration to Spanish/Mexican traditions. In the following recipe with step by step pics I demonstrate a popular southern US dish, fried pickles.

Fried pickles are so popular they are even featured at annual fairs, and are frequently served in Australia at American themed restaurants such as Hooters. Fried pickles are usually made with cucumber dill pickles, but variations include pickled okra and pickled jalapeños

Two Chef Secrets For Tender Calamari Rings

January 17th 2011 03:17
homemade crumbed calamari squid rings
There are two secrets to making tender calamari rings. The first is to peel the membrane off the outside of the squid tubes. This is most easily done while the tubes are frozen, and in this recipe I demonstrate how. The second is to soak them in milk and kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit has an enzyme that acts on the proteins in squid meat to soften it.

Grandma’s Curried Sausages Recipe

October 31st 2010 02:48
curried sausages and vegetables with yoghurt
In the 1960’s and 70’s Australian cuisine did not enjoy the benefit of dozens of national and regional influences, as it does today. My late grandmother’s curried sausages were the most exotic recipe in her repertoire and the dish probably derives, not from Indian curry, but from England.
However, it is still a good way to dress up sausages and vegetables, especially if they are less than fresh. The yoghurt on top is my addition; I can’t imagine my grandma using it as a savoury condiment, not even on curried pumpkin soup.

Easy Moreton Bay Bugs Florentine With Spinach

Moreton Bay Bug (left) and Balmain Bug (right)
Many international visitors are appalled when offered ‘bugs.’ Moreton Bay Bugs (Thenus orientalis) and Balmain Bugs (Ibacus peronii) are Australian marine crustaceans, not insects. They are bottom feeding crustaceans similar to a crayfish, with eight legs and a powerful tail which propels them backwards. They have a flattened shell in order to bury themselves in the sand and do not have claws. ‘Bugs’ are also referred to as ‘slipper lobsters’ or ‘shovel nosed lobsters’.
They can be served in any way suitable for lobsters and crayfish including mornay, thermidor, in garlic butter or natural (cooked and served cold).

Italian Osso Bucco – Braised Veal Shanks

August 19th 2010 01:52
Italian Osso Bucco veal shanks recipe
Veal shanks are a cross section of the leg, with a round segment of bone in the centre and are relatively inexpensive. The bone marrow is an important feature of this dish; the name Osso Bucco means ‘bone hollow’. Traditional Osso Bucco was not made with tomato as it is a New World fruit. The modern version does include tomato and is usually served with risotto or mashed potato. I prefer to cook the potato in the baking pan with the meat. The starch in the potato helps thicken the sauce and there is less washing up. This is an ideal hearty winter dish and using the oven also warms up the room.

Chicken Breast With Blue Cheese Filling

Chcken breasts with blue cheese filling
Stuffed chicken breasts are always moist and the following recipe, with step by step pics, is also a good way to use up the uneaten blue cheese from the leftover cheese platter. I have used Misty Mountain Blue Vein Cheese from Witches Chase Cheese Company at Mount Tamborine in the Gold Coast hinterland.
Chicken breasts can be expensive but a whole chicken is relatively cheap. Using a sharp knife, it can easily be portioned into two chicken breasts, two thighs, two drumsticks and a carcass for soup, stock or pet food. Raw chicken bones splinter but it is okay to feed cooked chicken bones to dogs.

In Australia, seafood is synonymous with summer, but dishes such as clam chowder, seafood pies and oysters kilpatrick are just a few of the many great winter seafood dishes. The following recipe, with step by step pics, is a slight variation on smoked cod in white sauce, and a great way to use up a leftover cheese platter. I have used imported smoked cod from South Africa, and at eleven dollars per kilogram, the two fish fillets depicted cost $4.80 AUD. The health and nutritional benefits of fish are well known so include some seafood in your winter diet.

Sizzling Hot Oysters Kilpatrick

dozen oysters kilpatrick natural sex aphrodisiac
The old saying that one should only eat oysters when there is an ‘r’ in the month used to apply in the northern hemisphere to avoid the spawning season. In Australia, sustainably farmed oysters are available all year round. Raw oysters are often eaten chilled in the summer, but cooked oysters taste great too! In the following simple recipe I demonstrate a perennial favourite, Oysters Kilpatrick.
Any species of oysters may be used. Making them at home is much cheaper than ordering them in a restaurant, and can be more romantic too, considering the legendary aphrodisiac properties of oysters.

Braised Beef Cheeks Red Wine Sauce
The following recipe, with step by step pics, is for a little known cut of meat. Beef cheeks are meat, not offal. At just $6.49 AUD per kilo, they are cheaper than minced beef or any other cut. However, the animals use their cheek muscles for a lifetime of chewing, and they are not tender. That is why they must be slow cooked until they are so tender they can be torn with a fork. This is an ideal hearty winter dish that is also suitable for reheating.

Other pies are seasonal or ‘occasional’ such as mince pies at Christmas, sweet potato pies at thanksgiving and meat pies at football matches. All I am saying is give pies a chance.

This recipe is suitable for all savoury pies including meat, such as shepherds pie or steak and kidney, vegetarian, seafood and egg. Sweet pies should be made with sweetcrust pastry.

American style Barbequed Pork Ribs are one of the most popular dishes to come out of the United States. I sampled them from the Hard Rock Café’s stand at A la Carte In The Park last weekend and they have inspired me. In the following recipe and step by step pictures, I have added an Aussie flavour by using wattle seed, which has a slightly nutty flavour, and vegemite, which can be used instead of beef bouillon in any dish.
The ribs are cooked, then marinated, then cooked again to ensure they are full of flavour and so tender the meat is nearly falling off the bone.

Authentic Anzac Biscuits Recipe From The Horses Mouth

April 17th 2010 05:39
Original Anzac Biscuit Recipe From Gallipoli
Anzac Biscuits originated in The Great War of 1914-1918 (WWI). Some sources maintain that they were invented by women on the home front to withstand a long sea voyage. However my research indicates they were also made by the ANZACs themselves using oats from the horse grooms and the other ingredients from the Quartermasters store. Both my maternal Great Grandfathers fought at Gallipoli and the Western Front, and my Nan used to make Anzac Biscuits according to the following recipe.
It is very similar to the recipe by ANZAC veteran Bob Lawson on the Australian War Memorial website. A recipe for 'Anzac Crispies', without coconut, appears in the Presbyterian Women’s Missionary Union Cookery Book, which was first published in 1904 and revised in 1973.
As the term ANZAC was not coined until the formation of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp in 1914, the name 'ANZAC Crispies' in the PWMU Cookery Book must be a revision. These recipes are probably all based on the ancient Scottish recipe for oat cakes, as Scots and descendants of Scots served in the A.N.Z.A.C

Traditionally, Italian style garlic prawns are served in a garlic sauce of olive oil or garlic butter, but some prefer the French adaptation in a garlic cream sauce.

In the following recipe, with step by step pictures, I demonstrate chocolate risotto suitable for kids. Variations on chocolate risotto include the addition of nuts, fruit or alcohol.

Quiche Lorraine & Other Christmas Leftovers Recipes

December 30th 2009 06:39
Classic quiche Lorraine recipe christmas ham
A large Christmas ham may linger in the fridge for weeks but there are many ways to serve interesting ham dishes. Serve ham steak and pineapple with veggies and gravy, or how about a Hawaiian pizza? Diced ham cubes can be added to pasta dishes or salads, including potato salad. Ham and cheese omelettes or eggs Benedict make a hearty breakfast, and a toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich is ideal for lunch. In this recipe I demonstrate a variation on the classic Quiche Lorraine.

Recipes For Leftover Christmas Seafood – Battered Prawns

December 27th 2009 07:00
battered king prawns tartare Christmas leftovers
So Christmas day has come and gone and now you have a fridge full of leftovers. Do not be tempted to refreeze seafood. Leftover cooked prawns can be added to salads, pastas, and pizzas. If they are less than fresh try making curried prawns. Prawns and other seafood can also be made into seafood mornay and served on rice, or in a pie or crepe. Leftover seafood can also be made into a delicious seafood lasagna.
I previously posted a recipe for crunchy fish and chip batter, but it will work just as well with prawns. Peeled green (raw) prawn tails are best although leftover cooked prawns can be used too. Simply remove the heads and shells.

Prawn And Avocado Salad Using Four Ingredients

December 22nd 2009 13:16
cholesteol free prawn avocado salad cocktail
Prawn and avocado salad is a perfect cold entree to serve during Australia’s hot summer months. Quick Quiz Question: Which contains cholesterol, prawns, avocado or cocktail sauce? It is a common misconception that avocados contain cholesterol.
Cholesterol is only produced by animals and is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy food. All vegetable matter, including vegetable oil, is cholesterol free. Prawns contain cholesterol, as does the eggs that made the mayonnaise for the cocktail sauce.
Avocados are in peak season now and are better quality and comparatively inexpensive

Homemade cocktail sauce recipe four ingredients
If you’re planning to have prawns over the festive season you’ll need some cocktail sauce. Making it is as easy as mixing mayonnaise, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Some recipes include tobasco sauce as optional. Homemade cocktail sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks. Cocktail sauce is suitable for serving with cold seafood such as prawns, oysters, crayfish and crabs, and with some salads.

Exciting Minced Meat Dishes - Cannelloni Alla Bolognaise

December 14th 2009 03:29
exciting minced meat recipes cannelloni bolognaise
Let’s face it; Spaghetti bolognaise can be boring. But minced meat can be made into dozens of stimulating dishes including lasagna, meatballs, pies and so much more. In this recipe, I demonstrate another delicious use, Cannelloni alla bolognaise. I previously posted a vegetarian cannelloni recipe filled with spinach and ricotta cheese, but meat has valuable nutritional qualities too.
I prefer to make my own Napoli sauce using tinned tomatoes but a store bought pasta sauce is fine. This recipe generates a lot of washing up, but the advantage is that the dish can be prepared ahead of service, refrigerated or frozen, and the wash up done before dinner.

Beef Wellington is a whole eye fillet or steak topped with a mushroom mixture, then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. Some recipes include chicken liver pate or a more complex mushroom duxelle, but this recipe with step by step pics is a basic version.

The origin of the dish known as Beef Wellington is obscured by time. Some say it is named after the first Duke of Wellington, while others maintain it is a variation of the French ‘filet de boeuf en croute.

Baked Potato with Bacon and Pineapple
Winter is a perfect time for baking hot food, with the added benefit of warming the house up. A mate of mine recently served me a baked potato topped with bacon, shallots, cheese and pineapple. I am not a huge fan of cooked pineapple, but this was so nice I had to share it. Pineapples are a variety of bromeliad native to South America and the ‘fruit’ is actually a flower, as I explained in a previous post about pineapple cultivation.

Almost everyone likes crème caramels and they are not that hard to make. Simply combine eggs, sugar, milk and vanilla and bake them in your coffee cups.

The following recipe, with step by step pictures, cost me about five dollars and yielded seven large desserts

National Cherry Festival Homage - Cherry Pie Recipe

July 4th 2009 04:37
National Cherry Festival Cherry Pie Recipe
The 4th of July is Independence Day in the United States, and also the first day of the National Cherry Festival in the ‘cherry capital’ of Traverse Bay, Michigan. The US is the second highest producer of cherries after Turkey. In Australia fresh cherries are abundant around December and January as cherries ripen in the summer.
In the following recipe and step by step pics I demonstrate my take on cherry pie. I have previously demonstrated how to make the sweet crust pastry shells and the Frangipani filling on Rawfish. Frangipani is a mixture of almond meal, butter, sugar and eggs that is sweet and spongy. Just click the links below to go to the recipes.

A Rawfish subscriber recently left a comment on a recipe I posted for a cheap and easy vanilla slice. He suggested making a chocolate slice, and that is exactly what I have done. The following recipe, with step by step pics, is so easy a child could make it, as there is no heating required. Getting kids involved in cooking is fun, and teaches them self reliance. My three brothers and I are all good cooks thanks to a weekly family tradition called ‘make your own’ night.

I have used Tasmanian smoked salmon, where Atlantic salmon is sustainably farmed in aquaculture ponds.

Spanikopta are universally popular, and are an ideal vegetarian option. They are time consuming to make, but are cooked in minutes. I have made bite sized portions suitable for finger food, but larger portions with various fillings can be made the same way

Corned beef and cabbage is believed to be a traditional Irish dish that was introduced to the New World by Irish immigrants. Corned beef has since become a popular dish for Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Corned beef is made with brisket, topside or silverside which has been picked in a brine of salt, sugar and spices. In the following recipe and step by step pictures I have used an 850g corned silverside. The term ‘corned’ originates from the hard grains of salt that were used to salt the meat as a means of preserving it

In the following recipe and step by step pictures I demonstrate how to make a delicious Italian dish that is perfect for vegetarians.

To make a purely vegan version, use egg free pasta and substitute the dairy ingredients with soy milk and cheese.
It takes a lot of fresh spinach to make 200g of cooked spinach, so I have used a packet of cooked frozen spinach. Frozen vegetables may not be as nutritious as freshly picked ones, but retain more nutritional value than wilted old vegetables in the bottom of the veggie crisper.

I use 2 parts potato to 1 part sweet potato because sweet potato alone is not firm enough to form the croquettes. Plain mashed potato can be used, or add some leftover cooked corn or peas for colour. The breadcrumbs can be flavoured with herbs, chilli or parmesan cheese for extra flavour.

Blueberry Waffles – Breakfast Or Dessert?

January 2nd 2009 05:06
Blueberry Waffles Belgian Waffles English Waffles
The modern waffle has its origins in the light thin crisp cakes baked between wafer-irons during the Middle Ages. The oldest known reference to making waffles comes from a 14th century English cookbook and they were quite different from modern day waffles. There are many regional variations of waffles including English waffles, Belgian waffles, Dutch waffles and American waffles, but are they a breakfast or a dessert?
The majority of waffle dishes I have seen are sweet and usually include a fruit topping, however there are a few savoury waffle dishes, including cheese waffles, spinach waffles and bacon waffles. Waffles are easy to make in an electric waffle iron and recipe variations abound.

About one in every hundred people has a gluten intolerance known as coeliac disease. Symptoms range from none at all to malabsorption of nutrients with involvement of multiple organ systems. The only effective treatment is a lifelong gluten free diet.
Gluten is a composite of the proteins gliadin and glutenin which coexist with starch in some grass related grains. Wheat, rye, barley and oats contain both proteins while rice and corn starch contains just glutenin. In the following recipe and step by step pictures I use Arrowroot flour which contains neither.

Low Flying Duck – Glazed In Honey

November 28th 2008 05:05
Peking roast duck traditional Chinese recipe
Peking Duck has been a classic Chinese poultry dish for centuries. Peking was the Chinese capital until the name was changed to Beijing after the communist revolution. But Beijing Duck just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
In Australia, commercially farmed ducks are selectively bred, for a high ratio of meat to fat and bone. In appearance they are like a ‘White Pekin Duck’. Compared to chickens, grain fed ducks are fatty, which is why I call my version Low Flying Duck.
Traditionally, ducks are cooked with the head on, and are hung by their beaks so that the fat melts and drains away. My oven isn’t big enough to hang a duck, so I used a poultry stand to allow drainage

A Chinese chef I once worked with noticed that I enjoyed Coca Cola. At his suggestion I gave him a can and he showed me how to make Chinese Coca Cola chicken. It is made with chicken wings blanched in Coca Cola, seasoned, coated and fried. Topped with a soy sauce and cola reduction which is a lot like Kecap Manis, it is both sweet and savoury, typical of the eastern Chinese cuisine of Shanghai. The combination of flavours is surprisingly good, as the sweetness of the sauce counterbalances the spicy chili chicken wings.

Greek Salad With Goat Fetta Cheese

October 4th 2008 12:57
Greek Salad With Goat Fetta Cheese
Traditionally a salad of tomatoes, garnished with cucumber, red onion and sheep or goats milk fetta cheese, Greek salad was simply dressed with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice. Goats’ milk fetta is slightly pungent but is deliciously smooth and creamy.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures I demonstrate the westernized version commonly served in Australian restaurants. It is composed of Cos (Romaine) lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, chopped parsley and Greek style fetta cheese. I have omitted the red onion for my personal preference. Other versions include capsicum, capers, anchovies or radishes. The dressing is simply olive oil and red wine vinegar with salt and pepper.

Caesar Salad-Salad For Carnivores

People that generally don’t eat salad, such as fussy kids or carnivorous men, are more likely to appreciate a salad with cheese and yummy bacon bits than a simple garden salad. Caesar salad is a widely popular kind of complex salad, which contains cooked ingredients and/or meat, fish, cheese etc.
Caesar Cardini, an Italian born Mexican, is credited with inventing the Caesar salad in 1924. The original recipe is lost in time but it is believed anchovies were not included. Remaining records indicate that ingredients included Cos (Romaine) lettuce, croutons and parmesan cheese dressed with olive oil and lemon juice, and topped with coddled egg.

September 7th 2008 11:59
boiled alive cooking live animals seafood
If you have ever wanted to bring home live shellfish but weren’t sure what to do with it, this is for you. In the following post I demonstrate how to boil a raw mud crab, open it, remove the innards, crack its claws and serve it as Mud Crab Salad. The method applies to any other crab too.

If a live mudcrab is dropped straight into boiling water it may throw off all of it’s limbs, including it’s claws. It is better, and more humane, to render it dormant by placing it in the freezer for half an hour

This year Fathers Day falls on Sunday the seventh of September. That’s this Sunday! Some Dads enjoy barbeques and some like the catch of the day. Irish stew, steak and kidney or a Sunday roast are the favourites of others. Then there are Dads that relish the preference of zombies – Braaains…
In the following recipe and step by step pictures I demonstrate how to make an old school classic, brains and bacon.

Pumpkin Soup With Crab & Ginger

August 17th 2008 10:02
Pumpkin soup with crab & ginger
Crabs are found in all the oceans of the world, and along with some fresh water and terrestrial species, are invariably considered a delicacy. They and other shellfish are often associated with summer, but in Australia some crabs are available all year round.
Whole crabs, segments or crab meat can be used in a variety of hot dishes. In the following recipe and pictures I cook hearty pumpkin soup with crab and ginger to warm up winter. I keep the flavour of the soup mild to avoid overpowering the delicate taste of the crabmeat, by using a minimal amount of ginger and other seasonings.

40 Minced Pork Wontons For Under $10

August 10th 2008 05:10
Chinese recipe pork wontons cheap easy
In my last post I said I know a variety of ways to make interesting dishes out of minced meat. Minced beef can be used for spaghetti bolognaise, meatballs, lasagna, beef chow mien, cottage pie and meat pie, to name a few.
Minced lamb can be used for shepherds pie, moussaka, kebabs, curried meatballs, and Mongolian lamb dishes, amongst others. Pork mince is frequently used in Asian dishes such as spring rolls, wontons, dumplings, dim sum and san choy bau, also known as lettuce cups.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures I demonstrate how to make pork wontons. Pork mince is a dollar or two cheaper than lamb mince which, in turn is about a dollar per kilogram cheaper than beef mince. This recipe yielded forty wontons for under ten dollars

The 14th of July is Bastille Day in France, the anniversary of the day the French proletariat stormed the infamous Bastille Prison, murdering the Governor and releasing the prisoners. Widely regarded as the catalyst to the French Revolution, Bastille Day is celebrated wherever French is spoken, and has also become fashionable in the English speaking world.
In the following recipe and step-by-step pictures, I jump on the bandwagon by demonstrating how to make a classic French style tart with plums and ground almonds, or to put it more elegantly, tartelette aux prune et almandine.

Maple Pecan Pie French Canadian Recipe
Canada Day, the Canadian national day of celebration falls on the 1st of July. To honour our Commonwealth cousins I demonstrate how to make Maple Pecan Pies, complete with step by step pictures.
This classic example of French-Canadian cuisine is traditionally made in early spring, which is also known as ‘sugaring off time.’
Pecan nuts and maple syrup are readily available in Australia but maple sugar may be more difficult to find. Brown sugar can be substituted or omit the sugar altogether as the maple syrup is arguably sweet enough

Shepherd’s Pie Or Cottage Pie: What’s The Difference?

June 13th 2008 12:30
Shepherds Pie Cottage Pie Chef Recipe
I have asked this question of many people; qualified chefs, accomplished housewives, experienced grandmothers and, of course, my Mum. Some people think that there is no difference, but the clue is in the name.
What kind of meat is available to shepherds? The answer; shepherd’s pie is made with lamb or mutton while cottage pie is made using beef. Leftover roast meat was traditionally used but raw minced meat is also suitable.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures, I demonstrate how to make a cottage pie using raw minced beef. The method for shepherd’s pie is the same

Native Maori food New Zealand Whitebait
White bait is the generic term used throughout the world to describe small fishes that are collected en masse and eaten whole. New Zealand whitebait, consisting of the young of several species, is a traditional Maori food which is highly prized by Kiwi’s.
Whitebait can be battered or dusted in seasoned flour and deep fried, but is most commonly served in fritters. In the following recipe and step by step pictures I have used a flour based batter, but it can be made using just egg, or egg white, making it more akin to an omelette.

One of the earliest literary references to ‘Pilau’ can be found in the histories of Alexander the Great. It is known to have been served to Alexander upon his capture of the Sogdian capital of Marakanda (modern Samarkand). Alexander's army brought it back to Macedonia and spread it throughout Eastern Europe.
Pilaff rice is cooked by the absorption method in which the liquid is fully absorbed by the rice

Tzatziki Dip Greek Yoghurt
Tzatziki, or tsatsiki as it is spelt by some, is a Greek dish served with flat bread as an appetizer, or as a sauce for souvlaki and kebabs.
Traditionally made with sheep or goats milk yoghurt, it can also include cucumber, salt, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, dill, parsley and mint. There are a number of variations originating from Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Cyprus, Iraq and Iran.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures, I have made a basic version using a tub of Greek style yoghurt which is quite thick and eliminates the time consuming process of draining the yoghurt in a muslin cloth for hours

Eggs Benedict-Step By Step Pics

February 18th 2008 10:29
Eggs Benedict
One of the first recorded instance of Eggs Benedict was in 1898 in ‘Eggs and how to use them,’ by Adolphe Meyer. Eggs Benedict may derive from the French recipe for Oeuf Poche Benedictine which consists of buttered toast topped with sliced ox tongue, a poached egg, hollandaise sauce and truffle.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures, I have made the more popular version served around the world, using English muffins and sliced ham.

Hollandaise Sauce-Step By Step Pics

February 11th 2008 08:56
Hollandaise Sauce
Hollandaise sauce is primarily composed of egg yolks and clarified butter, flavoured with a tarragon and vinegar reduction. It is an emulsion sauce, meaning that the oil and water are emulsified by the lecithin in the egg yolks, so that they do not separate but remain combined. Hollandaise, and its many derivative sauces including Béarnaise, must be kept warm and are not suitable for refrigeration.
The following recipe and step by step pictures show how to make Hollandaise at home. Hollandaise sauce can be served on vegetarian dishes including cauliflower, broccoli and the famous dish from Brittany, Asparagus Spears Hollandaise. It can also be used on the breakfast menu; such as the ever popular Eggs Benedict.
Other combinations include Hollandaise with steak, seafood or steak and seafood. Many restaurants feature a ‘Reef and Beef’’ or ‘Surf and Turf’ comprising a steak served with prawns or other seafood and topped with Hollandaise sauce

American style Barbequed Pork Ribs are one of the best known dishes to come out of the United States. In the following recipe and step by step pictures, I have added an Aussie flavour by using wattle seed, which has a slightly nutty flavour, and vegemite, which can be used instead of beef bouillon in any dish. The ribs are cooked, then marinated, then cooked again to ensure they are full of flavour and so tender the meat is nearly falling off the bone.
