Tagliatelle with blue cheese

The simple rustic dish from the Italian classics. Fresh tagliatelle bring the earthy taste with the best falvours of wheat. Most important part of the preparation of the dish is to make sure that the wheat flavours are not dominated by the sauce.

JJAMPONG (With rice noodles)

Visiting Korea one of my most favourite dishes was their spicy seafood noodle soup. The mixture of spices and lightness of the seafood is always something interesting. Every East Asian cuisine has something similar, but I like Korean the best.

Now I like spicy, but I don't like to overdo it when cooking at home.
So my take on the soup is a bit lighter and with more complimentary flavours.

Apple Crumble in a microvawe oven.

For a long time I have been experimenting with recipes that would work using microwave oven instead of gas or electric ovens. Usually baked goods are really not an option for microwave ovens, but this little something got me surprised.
Crumble is the one recipe that worked in the microwave oven as good as in a gas oven. Sure the color resulted in pale yellow, not brown, but the color can be corrected if you have a culinary blow torch.
The crumble recipe is quite simple:
  • baking flour 250 g
  • butter 150g
Mix it thoroughly, add more flour to get brittle consistency, the prices should not stick and make dough.
When cooking in the microwave oven, do not cover the crumble. Your microwave oven should dehumidify so the crumble does not become soaked.

Turkey Stock for Risotto

The risotto is a very simple dish, but it may contain some very interesting flavours and texture. In my case the main ingredient is correct turkey broth. It's rich, creamy and, when prepared correctly, very light.

Celebrating the fresh potato

It is the time of the year when fresh potatoes are gathered to bring us these little nuggets of culinary joy. Their taste is very much like the full grown potatoes, but it has a little bit something more....
Their granular texture and earthy flavour are incredible, if prepared correctly.
