            about this blog!



              i enjoy cooking.

           it's as simple as that.         (sometimes i'll even bake,

          if i have the patience.)

     i am definitely a fan of things

       like butter and bacon, but

       i also believe it is absolutely    possible to cook incredible meals

           that are also healthy

         and low-fat/low calorie.

       i especially love discovering

        new recipes, techniques,

     and cooking/kitchen products,

and now i can share them with you,

  as well as my personal endeavors!

Imam Baildi

When I was at the farmers market picking up the red peppers and the tomatoes for the gemista that I recently made, I could not resist picking some up some eggplants and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. Another one of the more memorable dishes that I tried in Greece was a slow roasted eggplant dish that was covered in a really simple and tasty tomato and onion sauce. Once again I was surprised that something with so few apparent ingredients could be so tasty! Not wanting the eggplant to be left out of the slow roasted vegetable fun I was planning on trying to reproduce the dish at home. I did not catch the name of the dish while I was in Greece but after a quick search I came across a recipe for imam baildi by Peter on on Kalofagas that seemed to have all the right ingredients.

thanks, bloomaciousfoodie: Blood Orange Margarita :: SLOSHED!.
margaritas have been the drink of choice recently, especially because we recently bought 2  bottles of different tequilas to taste test. i’ve seen blood oranges at the store lately, so maybe it’s time to switch it up a bit!

Individual berry meringue pots - and a cookbook review

The pots are fantastic - just as quick and easy as the recipe suggests, pretty to serve, and delicious with their combination of sweet meringue and tart berries, and their vibrant red colour.

i think these might be next on my list, after we finish off all the cookies i’ve been baking recently. the boy is actually much more of a berry dessert guy, anyway, so i think it’s his turn for a change.
