Corn Fritters

Jul

16

2007

Galit wanted some creamed sweetcorn from a can. After half a can she had had enough … my challenge was to figure out what to do with the other half a can. Corn Fritters seemed a good solution. These come out nice and puffy and are perfect with either tomato sauce (ketchup), Greek Tzatziki, and/or ...

Ciabatta

Dec

2006

Having mastered the French style Pain de Campagne I thought I’d move on to another sour dough – the Italian Ciabatta. I picked this style of bread because it is meant to be very light and airy, and ultimately I’m aiming for Maltese Bread which is also light and airy. Because you’re aiming for light ...

Yummy. A delight I picked up when eating at the Haviv household. Traditionally these are served in a Fricasse, i.e. fried bread, but the more health conscious serve inside a baguette or roll. Marie Haviv Tunisian Sandwich Print Recipe

Simple dish I had at Barista cafe in Palmerston North. Don’t overcook the chicken like I did the first time. The mayo mixture has to be “drippable”. Steven Thomas Grilled Chicken with Mayonnaise and Pesto Print Recipe

Brian’s Japanese, Irish, American Potato Salad

Feb

21

2001

Brian seemed to just throw a whole bunch of things together, but it worked. That particular flat always used North American style Mayonnaise, and like Bee and Simon’s Potato Salad, this seems to make a difference. The result of Brian’s seemingly random concoction is a tasty mix of Japanese / Irish / American flavours. ...

Hotcakes, Pikelets, and Scotch Pancakes 2

Feb

2001

Growing up in New Zealand I discovered the joys of Pikelets – small, thick pancakes we used to eat with butter and honey for afternoon tea. Later I discovered Hotcakes, which are served up for breakfast in the US with butter and maple syrup. Much later still, when I started making my own Hotcakes and ...
