I'M BACK!
China was a blast, the food and the people are so different to those in Australia.
Just to let you know Scorpion isn't that bad, it has a dry after taste and a crunchy first bite but other than that they taste quite... delicious?
Anyway, today I began cooking through approximately 179 recipes which are to be completed by the due date of this project, which I'm unsure when that will be.
Nigella Lawson:
When I was little I used to cuddle up with my mum and watch Nigella's famous T.V shows. I used to love the food she cooked (mostly the desserts) and now in 2011 I'm cooking through all of her home style recipes and maybe even adding a little flare of my own.
Mortadella and Mozzarella FrittataThis is the first dish in the book and also what I thought would be the easiest of them all... I was kind of right.
I came downstairs this morning ready to go and I suddenly noticed that I had forgotten to buy parsley and mozzarella cheese, so my loving father rushed down to the supermarket and fetched those items for me.
Everything was great until it came to the cooking of the frittata, I put it under the grill for three minutes instead of five (Oh no she didn't!) and then cooked the rest of it on the stove... bad idea... I really should have left it in the oven for longer so the top could cook the bottom of the frittata took on a nice brown colour... I really should have cooked it less on the stove and more in the grill.
But the end result looked quite good, you would have never known it was burnt
As a person that hates EGGS! This was a big step for me to cook let alone try, but it tasted alright even though it was a little over cooked on the bottom.
My dad on the other hand loved it, i quote "It's light and fluffy, smells good and... tastes amazing" - Andrew Dawson.
One down many more to go, tonight I'll will be cooking Pasta alla Genovese with potatoes, green beans and pesto.
