C is for...cooking
Sunday, 3 April 2005
retracing my steps
for healthy cooking decal we were asked to bring recipes to share to be compiled in the recipe book they're making for the class

after a bit of thought i organized, added my comments to 5 recipes:

-Broiled Salmon
-Champagne Cake
-Bonbons
-Apple Coleslaw
-PaellAsian

i had a little blurb for each recipe & it's kinda crazy but i knew i was obsessed with food but i did not realize the importance of it til i did this because you could tell the story of my past year with these recipes...at least somewhat

Broiled Salmon i wrote:
This is one of the simplest entrees that can be prepared in minutes & has a big wow factor. It can be used with most fishes (skinless boneless filets are preferably used). I served this to my friends with a triangle of puff pastry & drizzled with creamy lemon dill sauce. It was very presentable. It can be served with any sauce (pesto, honey mustard (equal parts mustard & honey mixed together), bottled teriyaki sauce, or even store bought salad dressings) or in a sandwich. It forms a light brown crust on the salmon & as I?m sure you ALL learned from the cooking techniques/spice lecture, broiling (the heat source comes from above instead of below like grilling) seals in all the juices & flavors.

referring to chanda's birthday dinner & many of my meals last semeseter

for champagne cake:
I made this for my friend?s 21st birthday. For those reading this for the alcohol, the alcohol actually cooks out in the oven from the heat (but you can brush on some as the end for extra flavor & to add moisture). I frosted it with a really simple white frosting, but since this is supposed to be healthy, I?ll just recommend the cake.

for bonbons:
So, my friend claimed she hated coconut & then she tried these & she couldn?t stop eating them. Yea, I know, they aren?t healthy, but I think one bad recipe isn?t TOO bad.

for apple coleslaw:
I made this one Fourth of July with blue cheese stuffed burgers and roasted potatoes. It?s very refreshing.

for paellAsian:
My friend & I developed this recipe for a rice recipe contest. It only allowed 30 minutes and 6 ingredients (besides oil, salt, pepper, and water). So, we didn?t win, but we cooked it a lot afterwards because it was super yummy & a ?one-pot wonder.? It?s a take on the traditional Spanish paella which is red (from the oh so wonderful saffron) & usually has a lot of seafood.


then i decided to update my recipe file to include all the recipes i've made thus far...so i kind of forgot & i went to my old food blog (which i kind of forgot existed)

old food blog

& i realized chris & i made all this stuff i forgot about & i can't believe i forgot! like jerk chicken & pulled pork & coconut shrimp aka cs:) soo good!

so i printed them all...it was kind of a weird feeling...

on another note...

i went to the berkeley farmer's market today...cuz i was out of food basically haha

it's rather exciting but things are kinda pricey but what do you expect...it's organic fresh stuff...

i bought some swiss chard & collard greens & strawberries that were to die for & a few other things i can't say cuz it's secret:)

i also find out today that the olive oil/vinegar place in the ferry building that has the most amazing blood orange olive oil is in berkeley! gawd i love berkeley...it's so amazing...

i should go in search of it...it's near 4th st on cedar...

hmm...i really need to make errands to certain food places i really really wish i had a car at this moment in time...or a motorcycle...i'm pretty mad at myself for not getting that license before 21 but you know what...i really didn't have the time (anyways this should go on my other blog)

anyways i'm off topic...so i end
