Dear Amigos,
It's a been a while since I've last posted and I still have not completed my European honeymoon diaries yet, but still to come. I must say that other things have happened since that have inspired new blog posts, so I am planning to go with the flow of my creativity, and see where my writing takes me. These days have been hot and we have tried to cook at home as much as possible, for both economic reasons (our 2-month European extravaganza set up back a pretty penny) and to learn to cook well and on our own. As we both so firmly believe, most things you can eat in a restaurant, we can cook also... and we know what was put into each dish. Below I would like to include some of my favorite dishes that we have made over the last few weeks...
Above: Cold homemade gazpacho, Italian cheeses, sardines from Fauchon and French baguette from La Fromagerie...
Above: Spaghetti with a tomato sauce, and buffalo sausage
Above: Fried vegetable wontons, and fried shrimp pockets with sushi rice
Above: Cast iron pan chicken thighs, special spices, cabbage, onions and carrots
Above: Baked salmon, red onions, white special sauce and lemons for garnish
Above: Devilish Chicken (dijon, panko and percorino coating) with arugula and cherry tomoat salad and steamed sushi rice
Above: Wild salmon with extra virgin olive oil, rosti (hash browns) and steamed green beans
As you can see, we love to eat, believe in having a few courses, and love to set up the table so that we truly appreciate the experience of eating, and eating together. Cooking is love, and Love is cooking!
All the best, and happy eating,
Avila
