Something for the V-day

My V-day gift :D

Hibernation

I'm hoping to settle in so that I could start cooking and baking huhuhu...
Although my kitchen in Nancy is small, but I kinda missed it.
I hope to be able to do the moving soon. It's so effing slow here. It is possible that I will be able to re-store my stuff in 2 weeks time.
Be patient my little pots and pans...

Jejemput Pisang

I dunno what is this thing called in english. It is like banana puff or beignet.
Anyway.. all you need ingredients: flour, banana of course, sugar, milk, bit of salt, bit of bicarbonate soda.



Mix all together:


Then deep-fry:

Lunch time! Grilled Salmon

Typical lunch on Sunday afternoon... grilled salmon, grape juice and fruits of the season. Bon app!

Feuilles de Vigne / Olives farcie feta

I've discovered the feuilles de vigne and feta cheese when I was on my first work trip to Sofia, Bulgaria.
Feuilles de vigne literally translated as vine leaves in english.
It is a typical food for those mediterranean countries including eastern europe and Greece. It is usually rolled vine leaves with rice inside it mixed with aneth, lemon juice or some other bit of spices. The feuilles de vigne is best eat with yoghurt sauce. But they are yummy even eating like that.
I bought feuilles de vigne at a market near my house where they also sell different type of olives. My fav is Olives with herbs. But as I like feta cheese as well, so I chose Olives stuffed with feta cheese this time. Feta cheese is a simply goat cheese.
Something that reminds me of the good ol warm Mediterranean weather during the icy cold time at the moment.

Gâteau au yaourt à la confiture fraise

That means.. Yoghurt cake with strawberry jam. And it's yummy!!!
I managed to get the cake nice and airy. The jam is a great complement to the cake.
The best thing about this cake is... it is so easy to make.
The measuring of the ingredients is based on the yoghurt pot. Easy right?

If you google, you can find a lot of recipes.
This is what I used:

Ingredients list:
1 pot of natural yoghurt
2 pots flour
2 pots sugar
½ pot oil
3 whole eggs
1 packet of dry yeast
1 packet of vanilla sugar

Instruction:
- Pour yoghurt in mixing bowl
- Then goes in the sugar. Mix well
- Put in eggs, then flour, followed by yeast and vanilla sugar
- Comes in the oil
- Mix well
- Bake for about 30 minutes in temperature 4 (180 C)

- Once baked, put it out from the baking pan
- Let cool a bit
- With a knife, cut the cake horizontally
- Spread the jam
- Put the top back
- It's ready!!!










Like the cake is so easy to be made... I even had time to make mini chocolate cake!
