  1. Strawberry Mango Coconut Smoothie
  2. OK - am now back home so I get to cook. Grilled Lamb Chops with Thyme, Garlic and Rosemary with Homemade Mint Sauce Hasselback Potatoes (with bay leaves) Drunken Leeks Grilled Black Plums with Cardamom Edited: There's been a change. We are now having deviled eggs with brandy and sherried garlic mushrooms instead of the leeks. Cleaning out...
  3. I bought this pasta in Croatia and Italy and find it to be alright. Not my favourite but it is pretty good for gluten free. Schar has many products including hard bread sticks which I really enjoy. The bread is gross but the ciabatta buns that are par-baked (you finish at home) are better.
  4. Oh, but your dishes look wonderful and I bet they taste even better. I love it when others' passions are evident like this. If everyone let me, I could (and I am not kidding) discuss food for hours and hours and hours, well into the night. My husband's and my conversations always turn into food, even if we start out by talking about business or whatever...
  5. And that just goes to show that great celiac minds think alike!
  6. This is like the one I use. It is very simple and foolproof - it will be lovely! I usually make a raspberry coulis to drizzle on top which would be so nice for your birthday! Open Original Shared Link I know you cannot have the hazelnut cream - just disregard that. It will be fine without but will need some sort of sauce such as coulis. Sounds...
  7. Aw, so sorry IH. I had one of those days yesterday. Thankfully they are rare but when they happen they hurt, don't they? I hope that today is a joyful day for you!
  8. All you do is add freshly-squeezed lemon juice into the water along with some zest. I usually throw in a bay leaf or two. And you can infuse rice with keffir lime leaves - even better! Brilliant. I've also done this with orange juice/zest. Cooking your rice in carrot juice and fresh herbs is also very good. Same with tomato juice.
  9. I have never, ever used cornstarch in Pavlova, actually. It's just a basic meringue with egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar (or a touch of vinegar).
  10. Lots. This is one of my favourites (lemon caper). Delicious on fish and seafood, too: Open Original Shared Link
  11. These look incredible, Simona. I never think to take photos of my creations for some reason. I should get into that. Thanks for showing us all that gorgeous and delicious meals from scratch can be done gluten free. Darn it - I'm hungry and it's only 10 am!
  12. Would you be able to have pavlova? A gorgeous dessert comprised of meringue on the bottom, whipped cream or curd (or a fruit compote in your case) on top and then fresh berries. Stunning with blackberries especially. Delectable, easy and fruit-y. Would you be willing to make a birthday cake from scratch? Gluten free goddess has some that fit your...
  13. They most definitely are crispier with cornstarch - no comparison. Foie gras IS liver. Pure duck or goose liver that is lightly sauteed and often served with a fruit compote or marmalade. My last foie gras was in Croatia in May and it was served with a peach compote. Delicious!
  14. Believe me, it's not willpower - I just don't really like the doughnuts that much and I've tried to. They are cake doughnuts and those I am familiar with and love are the big puffy light yeast doughnuts. I have moments of weakness daily at least! My cravings tend to be salty savoury as opposed to sweet.
  15. Sora, Sora. Tsk, tsk. What on earth are we to do with her? Don't forget to order a mu mu for me as well. By then I'll probably be about 396 lb, especially if I indulge in more aioli and frites! Maybe I'll just use a tent instead.
  16. Count me in the Chicken Liver Lover's Club (CLLC). LOVE 'em, especially in pate. I also love foie gras.
  17. I've been away from home for several days (dog/housesitting) so have not been cooking. Instead, I did all the cooking before coming out. Very simple tonight: Buffalo Pulled Chicken Lemon-infused Rice Broccoli Slaw Strawberries Can't wait to do serious cooking at home in a few days! Though I do LOVE it out here in the country...
  18. Dipping fries in mayo (aioli) is huge in Belgium. They wouldn't dream of using ketchup! They are delicious that way. I have never tried it on meatloaf but imagine it would be very good. Thanks for the idea!
  19. This has been a fun read. Half of one of these babies is sufficient for me as I would rather spend my calories on something I love but what I do relate to is not stopping at just one thing. If I know it's there it drives me crazy. It's as though that snack is sitting there, sticking out its tongue and taunting me. BTW, the Kinnikinnick plant is only...
  20. I get it, too. Cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice with tomato-based sauces really work well and are not uncommon. Many, including myself, add some bittersweet chocolate to chile con carne. It really rounds out the flavour.
  21. Yum. I love satay's flavour combos. Also love jellies on burgers.
  22. This makes sense to me. Similar to beef satay - grilled skwered beef with a creamy peanut butter sauce.
  23. Most of these make sense from a culinary standpoint. To me bacon on ice cream is a natural fit. Same with bacon and chocolate. Bacon jam is awesome. A combination I LOVE is rosemary, chocolate and blue cheese sauce on venison. Another I love is ancho chile with chocolate. Strawberries and balsamic are glorious - some may find that unusual but I don...
