What do foodies do?
I'm an IT professional, used to be a programmer, now project manager. But all I really do is think of food all day, plan dinner, and my blog. I live for the day I escape the industry and work in a kitchen!
Sssh... don't tell anyone ;)
Dinner Tonight: Beet Rösti
Glad to see I'm not the only one drawn here with the promise of beef rosti ;)

What's the craziest thing you ever ate?
I ate pig ears last week - they were just as awful as I should have expected!

Dinner Tonight: Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad
Replace all or some of the rice vinegar with lime or lemon juice and chuck in a whack of chilli to try a great variation on this!
Rice noodle salad/soup is one of my summer staples!! (Tho my soup only takes 10 minutes to prepare - no long simmer required! )
Hendrick's Gin: An Old Standby in the New Generation of Gins
I love gin, and am mostly an old-school gal... but Hendricks makes a gorgeous Sunday afternoon drink.
A few years ago, I did a taste test with some friends with 11 different gins - hendricks was by far the most popular overall. My favourite was the Plymouth Navy Strength - but at 57% you have to be careful ;)
Sichuan Peppercorns
Ooo - I love sichuan peppers too!
One of my favourite recent recipes is slow pan-fried sichuan duck. I served it with bok choy - but it would equally well with mashed potatoes and a rich fruit-based sauce...
Ideas for Duck Breasts
simon - that sounds fabulous - I'm definitely going to try this.
Poutine: Curdy Canadian Comfort
I have only ever tried poutine once, so, soooo good... the taste memory lingers on, my mouth is watering once again...
I wonder if I can source curds in the UK...
I want poutine... :(
Easy Curry Recipe
Here is another super easy recipe :)
Fry up an onion until soft then add a couple of cloves of garlic, and maybe a tablespoon of grated ginger and fry for another couple of minutes. Add whatever meat you are using and brown. Add some curry powder (see the packet for quantities!) and a tin of chopped tomatoes and simmer for about 20 minutes. (Season as required)
To get a creamier curry, add some yoghurt when you add the tomatoes, and/ or some cream at the end. (Don't let the cream boil!)
If you don't add cream, you could try adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a slightly different flavour!
Can You Handle the Stink?
Strange coincidence!
I tried a washed-rind for the first time on Sunday night - the Durrus and also a calvados washed brie! It was part of one of the most amazing cheeseboards I have ever seen (about 30 gorgeous cheeses...). The Durrus was my favourite. The stink was potent; I couldn't believe I was even going to put it in my mouth... but when I did it suddenly transformed into this deep, smooth, creamy lushness.
I am a washed-rind convert, and look forward to stinking out public transport soon!
Ibérico Ham: Crazy Good But Worth the Price?
Another amazing way to eat jamon (with bread!):
Split your bagette in half, you can optionally toast the cut side. Rub the cut side with a split clove of garlic, then follow by rubbing it with a wedge of tomato so the bread soaks up the tomato juices. Season with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper and place the slices of ham on the top.
Ibérico Ham: Crazy Good But Worth the Price?
Interesting thread!
I fell in love with jamon when on holiday in Spain a few years back (I'm from the UK) It is still pretty expensive stuff, even over here - but to me it's worth it for a treat. When I pay that much money though, I don't make a sandwich - just a platter of jamon, some smokey cheese, and olives. Add a glass of wine, and that's my heaven!

About: I'm an enthusiastic, messy, passionate cook who loves nothing more than writing about cooking, thinking about cooking or reading about cooking... Well, except maybe eating...
Favorite foods: chiles, chilies, chillies, fish, tomatoes, curry, pasta, indian, vietnamese, thai, soup
Last bite on earth: That is like asking my favourite song - it changes with the weather, my mood or the company! But it would need to be savoury; spicy and piquant. Something lively, that would set my mouth alive. But, anyway - what a morbid question!
I ate pig ears last week - they were just as awful as I should have expected!
