International Cooking

I found a group which is posted food docs including the recipes.

Thank you!

ooh, this could be good, i will come back soon with flapjack, brownie, curry, pasta and roasted vegetable recipes!

Do you still have to test the recipes before posting? ;o)
Hehe, maybe we can cook together one day!

Actually I am also more of a "Frei-nach-Schnauze" cook... :D

LOL... Dir fällt wohl auch keine passende Übersetzung dafür ein?!

Hm... Nee, im Moment nicht... ;)

Ok, here's an italian recipe from Lucia

Pasta con i Broccoli (for 4 persons)

You take a mashed/thinly cut clove of garlic and a thinly cut chili and two anchovies in oil. These you put in a pan with olive oil and gently warm it until the anchovies dissolve. Then put it off the stove and leave it to rest.
Now you take one fresh broccoli of a fantastic green. I mean so nice and fresh that it will give you the shivers the moment you look at it... :D
Then you peel the hard skin off the stem and divide to four pieces. You give it into a pot with water and put that on the stove to cook. When the water boils you add the pasta (ca 400g) and salt. The moment the pasta is al dente you decant the water and give the broccoli and the pasta in the pan with the garlic and chili and mix it.

Best served with red italian wine, parmigiano (to your liking) and Paolo Conte.

A late thank you! ;o)

2 eggs,1 glass of milk,1 glass of oil ( l really dont know if it is used as olive oil in english),1.5 glass of sugar,3 glass of flour,vanillin,baking powder..

l never use the recipes..also l never like using "gr,kg..etc" this is an easy recipe for me to make a cake..you can put little slices of apples over this mix and put some sugar and nuts over the apples.. my favourite cake :)..

Oh thank you Seyda. I am curious how it could be...

I have not included! you want it gives you ideas for recipes you like?
excuse me, but my English is really poor :s

You don't know what I like that's why you should post what YOU like, hehe...
New ideas are welcome for me!

pasta with salmon : (for 2 persons)

- 2 blocks of salmon
- dill
- spaghetti (180 grams)
- liquid cream (20 cl)
- grated cheese

Cook pasta in salted water... cut the stones into small cubes and cook them slightly, then place them in the bottom of a dish (which is in the oven)... cover the salmon and dill and cream... then put the pasta to recover salmon, cream and dill... and cover the pasta with grated cheese.

put the dish in the oven until cheese is golden brown (thermostat 180 °)

and at the table!

This is a fantastic idea GiNa. I love cooking too and I like to try different kinds of food--with lots of spices and especially garlic :) I will write down some recipes for you: foods I like to cook.

I am curious what you will post!

I really love this one:
Chicken à la GiNa P. (self created!)
(Sorry for my "creative" English but I hope you know what I mean...)

You need:
- chicken filet
- a clove of garlic
- honey
- pepper
- salt
- some different herbs (not needed if you haven't, I use a mix of )

To do:
Cut the chicken into pieces. It's your choice if small or bigger (like a steak).
Make a marinade with garlic, honey, pepper and herbs and put the chicken into the marinade.
After 15 minutes (or longer if you want) pan-fry till it's good. Use salt and pepper how you need.

You can eat it with noodles or rise.
Most the time I take zucchini but you also can take carrots or some other vegetables you like.
A soft cheese sauce with herbs and white wine fits perfect.

This is a quick and easy recipe a good dish if you don't have too much time for cooking but want something good. I am a little like you GiNa I usually do not follow recipes just make my own as I go or modify. I also do not really measure things so you will see things like a handful or a little bit of this or that sorry.
Amounts is for 4 people.

-2 skinless chicken breasts cut into small (a bit bigger than bite size pieces)
-1 medium yellow onion cut in half and sliced.
-About 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of sun dried tomatoes cut into thin ribbons or chopped depends on whether you like sun dried tomatoes or not that much. There has to be little.
-About a handful of pine nuts.
-1 1/2 table spoons of pesto.
-olive oil for cooking.

heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet and saute the onions until they are tender. Remove and set aside.
Add a little bit more olive to the skillet and heat. When hot add the chicken and saute until they start to brown. Add the pine nuts and saute stirring once in while until the pine nuts start to brown about a minute or two (you don't want them to turn brown but just a little golden). Add the onions, and sun dried tomatoes and stir cook for a minute or so just to heat the onions and release the flavor of sun dried tomatoes. Turn off the heat mix in the pesto and voila.
I serve this with pasta such as bow-tie, radiatore, penne or similar but not spaghetti. You could do the chicken while the pasta is cooking.
I hope you will enjoy this. I will write more recipes soon.
