New Year’s Eve 2007 - Dinner for one
December 31st, 2007Sherry with the (Mulligatawny)Soup, whitewine with the fish(curry) and port with the fruit. There should have been champagne with the bird, but the chicken was already in the soup :).
Tilslørte bondepiker
April 8th, 2007
This is a traditionally Norwegian dessert, very easy and quick and also great if you have leftover bread or cakes. Crumble the dry cakes/bread and brown with sugar in a dry pan.
Layer the caramelized crumbs with whipped cream and apple sauce (pureed or chunky).

Lussekatter
December 17th, 2006These originally Swedish saffron breads are traditionally made for the celebration of the St. Lucia Day on December 13th. I made Lussekatter a few days later this year but they were delicious anyway! It is really worth it to make these with real Saffron, though curcuma can be used as a substitute to get the yellow colour. I think these were the best cakes I have eaten this year!
Rice Pilau (Sri Lanka style)
December 9th, 2006This Rice Pilau was one of the first recipes we ever tried out of the Exotic Tastes of Sri Lanka book. And we have made it several times since then. The pilau can be served as a side dish with a spicy curry or simply as a meal on it’s own.
Omelette with tomato chutney
December 5th, 2006This will be my lunch for tomorrow: Omelette with chick peas and spices, served with tomato chutney. I found both in this book.
Sacher Torte
December 5th, 2006It does not have much to do with curries and we did not make it ourselves, but it deserves to be mentioned; the Sacher Torte in Vienna! It was worth the wait, queueing up among the Japanese, American and German tourists before being seated at the Hotel Sacher.
Almost no-fat “Samosas”
November 27th, 2006Since I don’t want to buy that sad-looking, expensive and non-tasting lunch from the cafeteria at work, I always bring my own lunch. Today I brought these “fake” Samosas, they are made with wonton paper and baked in the oven instead of fried.
Hot Curry Pumpkin Soup
November 26th, 2006Today we cooked this great Pumpkin Soup, which we spiced up with some hot selfmade Roasted Sinhala Curry Powder. Poppadums went great with this soup.
First curries
November 25th, 2006This is the first day of my Blog! To celebrate the launch of the Curry Collection & More, we have cooked a Fish Curry and a Dhal from my favourite curry cookbook; “Exotic Tastes of Sri Lanka“.
