Cookbook Challenge 2.0 – Pork Vindaloo
This recipe is adapted from “Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges” by Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
I don’t normally cook Indian curries, most of the time it is either Indo,Thai or Jap curries and it’s also interesting that this curries use vinegar. The recipe called for red wine vinegar however I used plum vinegar instead (dont think this is a right move because it has really high salt content
). Strange things is my pork vindaloo taste abit like beef rendang ha ha ha
Sliced Beef 4.0 – Beef in Oyster Sauce
Almost every household who cook Chinese food would have Oyster sauce in their pantry/fridge. Nowadays Oyster sauce is used in various asian cooking, one of old fav dish is Beef in Oyster Sauce. Easy to prepare and need very few ingredients.
The Cookbook Challenge – 52 weeks, 52 themes and 52 Recipes
Yes, I am up for a challenge!!
I have been considering on a few challenges recently,
- doing 90 days Bikram Challenge, I have done 30 days previously but 90 days for me is hard work!
- or doing the Yoga Aid Challenge (completing 108 sun salutation for charity) – Melbourne 6 December – still deciding hmmmm
- and then I visited Rilsta @MyFoodTrail and saw The CookBook challenge, instantly without hesitant I knew i found the “Challenge”. In short, I will make use of my cookbooks to cook one dish (committing to only one for now) per week for 52 weeks according to the theme of the week. Please visit Rilsta’s site for more details if you are interested in joining
Wish me luck!!!!
A jar of bread crumbs – how many dishes can you create???
Whenever I visit my local supermarket to get sandwich loaf, there are always 2 for a fivers deal, good price isnt it but for a small family, how am I going to be able to finish those loaves in a few days times!!!
I guess I have a few options one is to freeze one loaf to keep it fresh or if I can’t finish it in a few days times i will just make my own bread crumbs.
Here are a couple recipes that I have tried before
