Sunday, 4 March 2012. Smoked cod with light Romesco sauce. I'm back. A few months ago I got a job and after so long without working, having all the time in the world, I found it a bit difficult to make time to publish and even to read other blogs! I hope to be back on track soon. Last week I spent a few days back at home in Catalonia and now I have tonnes of inspiration and encouragement from family and friends to post again. 300 g smoked cod. 1 roasted red bell pepper. 1 whole roasted garlic. Follow my ...

Monday, 14 November 2011. I've got a lack of cooking mojo lately. I cook everyday, mostly simple things and when I cook something different I'm not entirely happy with the result so I don't publish it. I guess it's just a phase. Good job that the people from La recepta del 15. Always motivate me to try something new. Their proposal for this month is bread. It's quite simple to make although it takes time and practice to shape it nicely. I've got the time but, not the practice. 250g strong bread flour.

Sunday, 14 August 2011. A quick post to introduce my proposal for the la recepta del 15. Challenge. This month is all about peaches! I've chosen this recipe because it's so easy to prepare and I had all the ingredients in the kitchen. It's like a double crumble to put it in some way. Actually it reminds to a German Streusel. 3 diced peeled peaches. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. 188; cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup granulated sugar. 188; teaspoon salt. 189; teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1 cup brown sugar.

Thursday, 6 October 2011. This month the lovely ladies from Film and Food. Have asked us to recreate a recipe that brings back childhood memories. It hasn't been easy to choose just one. Fricandó (Catalan sort of stew), my Mom's rice, my Dad's fish stew, pasta. These were some of my favourite dishes. Any day we were having these dishes was a great one for me. Doing some research I found this recipe from Ma Petite Boulangerie. I made exactly what she says, she explains it very well and even has videos!

Wednesday, 10 August 2011. Pull apart garlic bread. I read many food blogs, I listen to several podcasts, I'm on Pinterest and it's all about pull-a-part bread these days so I had to try it myself. Is a really fun bread to make although not the most straightforward one, it's like playing tetris with dough! But believe me it worth the effort. I made a garlic herby version, but it can be made with cheese, olives, cinnamon, nuts, chocolate, fruit. OK, I have to stop now, I'm starting to drool. To make the f...

Wednesday, 24 August 2011. Beef and Guinness Stew. Mental note: If I want to post about something I've cooked, I shouldn't wait a month to write about it. Well, the thing is that I spent a few months in Dublin 10 years ago (OMG) and I didn't have any beef and Guinness stew, but I've always wanted to try it. I used feather steak. A cheap and ugly cut with unappetising connective tissue in the middle, but that means it is perfect for slow-cooking. Recipe adapted from BBC GoodFood. 1 large onions, diced.

Friday, 19 August 2011. What do you do with 3kg of pears? Paul, obviously wanted to make pie and he made a sort of covered tart. He firmly believes that pie must have pastry on top as well as the bottom. I wanted to do some kind of preserve, something we could eat either sweet or with savoury stuff, but easy. Enough since I'm a newbie. In the world of canning. This are the pears left after the tatin. So I googled "glut of pears" and found this recipe. 15kg of hard pears (peeled, cored and sliced). Add th...

Saturday, 6 August 2011. And here we have another recipe I fell for when I arrived here. Actually what it made me fall in love was the smoked haddock. In Catalunya we don't use to smoke fish a lot, of course you can find smoked salmon in the grocery shops, but haddock. I don't even know how to translate it in Catalan. What we've got is salted cod and you know what? I think it might work! So if anybody there is brave enough to try, please let me know how it has turned out. 2 tsp garam masala. Add the bay ...

Wednesday, 31 August 2011. Just in case you didn't know, we were making beer. Look at this. Not too bad, eh? Here you can see my arms reflected on the glass. I've never said I could take photos. Last Saturday was the oficial tasting day. Obviously we didn't wait until Saturday, but trust me it's better to wait. As good adopted Edinburgers (or whatever you call the citizens of Edinburgh) our IPA of reference is Deuchars. And it's not a reliable beer. I mean that you don't always get a good pint.
