Stir-fried tofu with zucchini

by Alice on febbraio 26, 2008

Tofu is indeed one of the most versatile foods: it can serve a variety of purposes, from appetizer, to main course, to dessert and definitely more, suiting lots of recipes. The fact that it comes in a range of different textures (from extra firm to silken), makes tofu even more appealing. I normally use firmer […]

Sedani rigati with lemon zest and almonds

by Alice on febbraio 20, 2008

I like to consider the pasta I’m proposing today as a quite sophisticated but at the same time extremely simple, quick, cheap and delicious main course. This is definitely the sort of recipe that turns out to be useful when there are pastivore guests to satisfy, or when a last-minute meal has to be thrown together. If you’re going to test this recipe […]

Spicy Hot Chocolate

by Alice on febbraio 18, 2008

           I had been thinking about hot chocolate for a very long time…until yesterday. Yes, I do have other forms of chocolate now and then…but hot chocolate is different, I can’t just have it without pondering. To me, it’s a real, fantastic treat. I always need to search for a ‘good excuse’ to have hot […]

Pear and Apple Yellow Crumble

by Alice on febbraio 14, 2008

I think apple crumble is one of the my favourite treats. Fruit crumbles in general are great. They are delicious and economical, it takes less than one hour to make them and they can be served warm or cold. I had the best time when I was living in England, going from place to place trying to […]

Curried Pumpkin and Carrot Soup

by Alice on febbraio 11, 2008

Is there anything more hearty and restorative than a bowl of soup, especially in the colder months? I think carrot and pumpkin go perfectly well together. If you’ve never combined them in a soup before, give it a try. It has a wonderful, vibrant colour and tastes of naturally sweet vegetables with a hint of spice and […]

Vegan Wasabi Mayo

by Alice on febbraio 8, 2008

Why not try vegetarian wasabi mayonnaise? As I like mayonnaise and I’m a big fan of the pungent green Japanese condiment, I wasn’t disappointed by the result of my experiment: a perfectly smooth mayo, with a hint of wasabi’s peculiar kind of spiciness. For this veggie wasabi mayo I used corn oil (organic). I sometimes use extra virgin […]

Mashed celeriac

by Alice on febbraio 5, 2008

Celeriac is good raw, either added to a salad or eaten on its own, and it’s great cooked in soups and stews. Anyone who likes celery and parsley, will love celeriac. Some people bake it, enjoying the inner flesh once the skin has been removed. The mashed celeriac I’m proposing here can be enjoyed on […]
