Kitchen is Open!

Amongst the boxes that I unpack first is the Kitchen boxes. As I opened one box, I saw my electric mixer! I had the sudden urge to bake... One thing I missed is to bake for my former colleagues. I know they will eat the cakes. But what about my new colleagues? Would they enjoy as much as the French?
I made brownies and banana cake this evening. This is the first time I make brownies. It is kinda like a suicide mission!
As I pack those square cut cakes in a plastic container, I was thinking of the what ids. What if they don't like my cake. What if there is other people who can make better cake than I am. What if this is too much and that at the end of the day there are a lot of leftovers. What if.. what if...
Anyway, the cakes are made. So what I could do is to bring them to office. That's about it!
I'll post the pic later.

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

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.
