Artichoke with peas
April 28th, 2006 | Category: Turkish Cuisine, Vegetarian
Artichoke in olive oil is a traditional Turkish appetizer. It has many variations when it comes to the topping, such as potatoes & carrots, broad beans & dill or as in my case: Peas.
This is one of those vegetable dishes, which I hated eating growing up as a child and started treasuring it in my 20s.
Artichoke Quote:
“After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual ‘food’ out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.” by Miss Piggy

Cheese and Wine @ Mahir and Vera
April 25th, 2006 | Category: Baked Goods
Two very dear friends of mine celebrated their tenth year anniversary at Corsica. On their way back, they brought several delicious French cheeses and were quite generous to share them with friends.
Among many, my favorite cheese was Brocciu, a whey-based cheese produced from goat or ewe’s (female adult sheep) milk, which makes it perfect for the lactose-intolerant cheese lovers. Apparently, Brocciu is considered Corsica’s national food.

Baked Salmon in Parchment
April 23rd, 2006 | Category: Meat, Chicken & Seafood
Last week, an ex-colleague/partner in crime/drop-dead-gorgeous close friend, who bears a striking resemblance to Carrie @ Sex and the City, was over for dinner. As always, this get-together was full of laughter, reminiscence of the old days at work and -of course- food.
We started planning the menu a couple of weeks in advance. She specifically had ‘one of those main dishes where only 10% of the plate is full with overly impressive and colourful food’ in mind. After she turned down a couple of suggestions - and knowing that 10% of the plate would be 100% self deception for people like us - she settled for a full plate of baked salmon and vegetables.
