 Sourdough bread Wow…ok so we are back to the sourdough bread recipe. It should be known (if you don’t know this already) that wild yeasts are sometimes a finicky lot, and mine was or is no exception. I took 3 attempts to make a loaf that I was proud of and now finally we can get to business. And so it goes…winter, rain and wind. I can find nothing better to do on a blustery day than to bake. So since it is blustery here and I have nothing to do…we are going to go through the process and bake naturally leavened sourdough bread. San Francisco made be famous for sourdoughs, but lemme tell ya you can make a rocking one here in southern California or anywhere else for that matter at anytime.

Start your year off with this great Flax bread recipe. The New Year always seems to start with a big thud around here, with the rush of the holidays being over and the partying that accompanies this subsides. Trading in your beer or cocktail for that New Year’s resolution is one that most of us seem to dread. Less drinking, better eating habits, more exercise, more of this and less of that always top everyone’s wish list for the coming year but how much of it do you really follow through with?

Not only does it add some pressure to make sure you use them all up before they become dog food or spoil can sometimes be a daunting task. You want to be creative but at the same time be familiar to those around you so you don’t look like a crack pot. Well I have some good news; you can look like a chef…really!

It seems like only yesterday I switched over from my old, crusty html site and created my blog. The reasoning behind it was simple…I no longer had to create/update pages in dreamweaver/golive and upload them to the server. The new “free” CMS (content management system) system would take care of all that for me, freeing me up (or so I thought) write and cook more. The reality of opening another restaurant quickly sank in and I was posting a couple of times a month. It did free me from being tethered to the software, for which I am eternally grateful.

Ginisang mungo, or mung bean soup is one of those timeless dishes. When the weather turned cold here the other day and I thought to myself that is was time to make a soup this is the one that popped into my head. Easy to cook, this dish carries its self well and a vegetarian, meat or seafood dish. My resent memories of the soup go back to Dubai, where is would be awaiting my arrival home after a long day in the kitchen. Mung beans are easy to digest so this made for a great late dinner, where otherwise I might not eat or I would just grab a couple of Maamoul cookies and a coconut water and I was good to go. |
