There I bought a vegetarian cooking book written in Dutch about the Italian Cuisine which presents every meal on an excellent photo. Photos are very important for my cooking to help me as an orientation. |

Bear in mind that most often the photos in cookbooks are done separately from the writing, with a food stylist that adds all sorts of ingredients not in the recipe and uses different methods to cook. So, in case of doubt, trust the text, not the picture. |

Oh, I didn't realize that! Good to read such insider knowledge from an experienced cook.

Deze keer: PENNE MET TOFOE
Vandaag heb ik dus het eerste gerecht uit mijn nieuw Nederlands vegetarisch kookboek gekookt.
De ingredienten:
150 g tofoe (ik heb bio-tofoe genomen)
500 g volkorenpenne (pasta)
50 g geblancheerde amandelen
100 ml oliijfolie extra vergine
1 klein bosje basilicum (vers!)
1 klein bosje peterselie (vers!)
2 teentjes knoflook
zout
De toefoe moet dus in water gekookt worden en je zou eigenlijk de toefoe met alle ingredienten samen in een keukenmachine vermengen totdat een smeeuige massa ontstaat.Zo'n dure keukenmachine heb ik niet, dus ik heb dan maar een houten kooklepel en een stamper gebruikt en het is niet echt smeeuig geworden, meer zo kleinbrokkelig. Het eten smaakt me wat ongewoon, ook wat droog, want het is niet echt een saus.Iedereen mag het graag nakoken en proeven, maar ik zal dit gerecht niet nog een keer koken.
Koken is echt iets van vallen en opstaan, als je tenminste bereid bent om nieuwe recepten uitteproberen. Maar juist dit uitproberen is essentieel om er wat bijteleren.

PANKUKOJ (= Pancakes)
Por la dua fojo mi uzis mian Germanan recepton por baki pankukojn kun bananpecoj. Lastfoje tio ne estis vera sukseso, pro tio mi acxetis novan kuirpoton? (germane: Bratpfanne) kaj esperis havi pli bonan resulton. Do mi prenis la saman recepton kiel antauxe, nur mi anstatauxis la lakton per mineralakvo. Denove mi ne estis kontenta pri la kuirresulto, estis brokla afero, ne estis vere glata pankuko. Mi dufoje provis bone kuiri gxin sen sukseso, do min nun resignas pri tio kaj per la futuro elektoj altiajn tipojn da receptoj (ekzemple kun legomoj) kiuj lauxeksperience estas por mi pli facile kuireblaj.
La sama teksto kun Esperanto-akcentoj:

Cucina Italiana oggi: PASTA INTEGRALE DI VERDURE
La ultima settima sona stata due giorni in Olanda, per questo non ho cucinato niente. Ma oggi ho avuto voglia di cucinare una ricetta facile.
Ingredienti:
- 320 g di pasta
- 50 g di ricotta dura
- 100 g di passato di pomodoro
- un peperone rosso
- un peperone giallo
- una melanzana (= Aubergine)
- 2 zucchine
- uno scalogno
- un ciuffo di basilico
- 3 cuchiai di olio
- sale + pepe
Non hanno piu avuto la ricotta, per questo ho scelto "creme legère". Ma questa è una ricetta tipica per me, do niente sconosciuto per me. È facile da cucinare, posso anche raccomendarla per prinicpianti della cucina. Non vorrei soltanto provare ricette difficile o esperimentali, ma anche facili.
Buon appetito!

OUR CHRISTMAS COOKING: Basmati and Nut Pilaf
It's a very special day in Germany, whereas in other countries - like in the Netherlands - it's quite a normal day without any traditions. The most important tradition in Germany on this day is called "Bescherung", that means the family members give each other presents and Christmas carols are sung.
I celebrate Christmas not with my family, but together with my friends, which has some advantages. One advantage is that we don't cook and eat TOO MUCH, as many people traditionally do.
So this is our first cooking session on Christmas.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups of Basmati rice
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 crushed garlic clove
- 2 carrots, coarsly grated
- 2 spoons sunflower oil
- ground coriander
- 2 cups vegetable stock or water
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted nuts or almonds
- freshly chopped parsley
With Basmati rice it is recommended to rinse it before and let it soak in water for 30 minutes. So we did this as well. I have some experience with this recipe and it is one of my favourites. It's a fascinating mixture of spices in this meal, which gives it a kind of exotic taste.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Weekend 07 - 10 January 2010
A FAMILY'S COOKING LESSON?
This weekend I will visit my family, who lives in a montain region in NRW, I hope that my train will arrive there and I will not be snowed under.
My father's girlfriend has a profound cooking knowledge and I want to take the opportunity to learn there. I don't know, if she can teach me things I want to learn about Pizzas, Quiches and these dough made meals, because she cooks according to the traditional German cuisine with meat, sausages and potatoes and that typical kind of stuff.
So I don't know, if I come with my Mediterranian cooking ideas... And she doesn't know any foreign language at all, so I should leave my foreign language recipes at home.
Anyway, I am curious!

I like your cooking log! I'm surprised how much I can understand via transparency among related languages, although I would not attempt to make anything without a good command of a language.
Families and food can be funny. My father, in his sixties, has just discovered what ovens do. No joke! This has the rest of the family laughing because he talks about it like it's some amazing revelation: "You can heat things!" Really, he was with my Mom for thirty years. We had an oven. She used it every day. He never noticed? And it took him about eight years after their divorce to find the oven and turn it on.
I would do much more in the kitchen if I had the physical ability. I try but it is very difficult and often too painful with the hand impairment I have. So I love to read recipes even when I can't make them. I hope you have a good visit and learn a lot about new, delicious things in many languages!

I want to cook a Brokkoli Quiche this weekend, if I am allowed to do this. I hope that I will get some useful instructions, I have already chosen a recipe. Cooking is a very manual activity, so I can imagine that it is difficult do with a hands handicap. But even if it's too painful for you to do it, you can read cooking magazines and books (and watch cooking on TV) to get some language inspiration of the food topic.
Unfortunately, I was eductated in the old-fashioned way, that cooking was a chore, which only girls had to learn. Therefore I didn't want to learn it as a child, I even hated it. But now I see so many enthousiast male and female people cooking on German TV and on our Administrator's website, this has changed my attitude towards cooking completely.
