AAF’s Recipe of the Day
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on June 14, 2008 – 4:43 pm -Chances are that if you’re wine-tasting in France, will be offered as a savory accompaniment. It’s a simple puff made from an easy to follow recipe of pâte á choux, flavored with Gruyère cheese, nothing fancy. They are best eaten hot right out of the oven, they simply melt in your mouth.

Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on June 12, 2008 – 12:37 pm -A simple dish of baked fish with sliced fennel makes a wonderfully light and nutritious lunch..or dinner. In the South of France, it’s done at least twice a week, when in season. This would also go well with yesterday’s recipe, the perfect Hollandaise.

What’s more there’s no cooking involved except the blanching of the bell peppers, the eggplants and the asparagus. With this recipe use what we call the goat loaf, a creamy concoction from France, available in most good delis and supermarkets, as seen below.

AAF’s Recipe of the Day
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on June 7, 2008 – 4:21 pm -A Thai Yellow, vegetarian curry is on the cards tonight. Even though I love the red and the green versions, I really go nuts for their creamy yellow curries, with rice, yellow lentils and potatoes added to it. A carb heaven, a wonderful way to recuperate from a boozy night! This is a recipe for vegetarians, it works well with either fish or chicken if you feel like it though as a vegetable curry, it’s unbeatable.
You can make your own paste or you can buy it. I’ll go the hard road and show you how you can make the paste, providing you have a food processor (I once attempted to do one with a mortar and a pestle, took a good hour and nearly broke my thumb) Read more »
