Cooking
Food is my biggest, all-consuming, passion, my second language. It doesn't always need to be spectacular, but it should be home-made, healthy and shared. I learned everything I know by observing my friends; now I return the favour.
Seaweed. You will have to go and forage it yourself most often, but it is totally worth it! Delicious and nutritious...Tip: wreck and kelp are great gluten free substitutes for pasta
There is something happy about yellow food, and if it can be cheap who is not happy! 2 cans of corn, one onion, two potatoes, veggie stock, cumin, chill, smoked paprika, coriander, avocado, and wild garlic flowers to decorate. OMG
It really does not matter what you put into it, as long as you beat the eggs into a foam first...and cook it really slow...here: onion, bacon, spinach, cherry tomatoes, basil, and lots of cheese
Crush raspberries with a fork, add dijon mustard, honey, basil leaves, vinegar and shake into a chunky dressing. Place grated gouda on a piece of parchment paper in a pan. Heat until cheese melts and let cool until cheese-chips harden. Soak walnuts in boiling water & remove the skin. In a pan, heat up sugar, add some water, butter and honey until caramel forms. Throw in nuts, stir and let cool on parchment paper. Serve on juicy young beetroot leaves with a toast (recipe by Andrzej Polan).
Cut strawberries in half. Sprinkle with freshly grounded pepper, add a bit of sugar and some wine (or fruit) vinegar. Leave to macerate. Massage gorgonzola (or truffle oil) into spinach leaves or crumble onto them. Cut fresh figs in quarters. Soak walnuts in boiling water and peel skin. Combine all ingredients in a serving bowl.
Grill a salmon filet on parchment paper (no oil). In a pan, sauté chopped leak and sprinkle with salt, pepper and curry powder. Mix in crashed salted pistachios. Serve salmon on the bed of leak and pistachios with a drop of olive oil. Make incisions in a large potato and squeeze into each space a different filling (e.g. onion, cheese, spinach, tomato). Bake the potato until soft. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Peel carrots so that they are square in cross-section. Fry them gently in sesame oil with some fresh ginger. Cut roasted beets into similar shape as the carrots. Mix sunflower sprouts with vegan mayonnaise. Assemble into square rolls. Place the carrot on nori. Put an equally high/wide layer of cooked sushi rice next to it. Place beets on the rice. Put an equal layer sprout mix next to it. Flip four times forming a square roll. Squeeze with the bamboo mat to strengthen the square mould.
Cut an old Mauritia flexuosa and wait two months for the maggots to hatch. Cut open when the maggots make enough noise you can actually hear them, collect together with the fine sawdust they created (probably pooped). Serve at room temperature, unwashed. A selfie bonanza, I assure you.
Maka pasta dough according to your fav recipe. Roll out into a large square (30x30 or so) on top of a clean cloth. Arrange ingredients on the pasta: sautéd garlic-spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, fried mushrooms or chicken if you feel like killing something tonight. Sprinkle with parmesan. Roll the pasta, helping yourself with the cloth. Wrap up the roll in the cloth. Tighten the ends with a string. Boil together with the cloth for 30-40 min. Untie, let breathe and serve with roasted pine nuts.
