One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Tuesday, 17 July 2012. Just before the check-in. Brazil, here I come! With my passport in my bag, I am ready to embark on my long waited trip to Brazil. Time for celebrations – my mum’s 80. Birthday and meeting up with. Family and friends again – and a well deserve break. I am going back to the roots! Marinated Buffalo Mozzarella and Tomato Salad Recipe. 250g buffalo mozzarella cheese - Adriana used 500g instead.

Margot's Kitchen: Spice up your spuds
http://margotskitchen.blogspot.com/2012/10/spice-up-your-spuds.html
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Tuesday, 2 October 2012. Spice up your spuds. In season - new potatoes. This recipe was perfect as a nibble but you can also make it as a starter or have it as a side to roast meat. A small dish was enough to satisfy my cravings that evening. The ingredients for the tandoori mix. Place the boiled new potatoes in the bowl and. Coat them with the marinade. The ingredients for the topping. For the tandoori marinade.

Margot's Kitchen: Every breath you take…

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Monday, 5 November 2012. Every breath you take…. As for this week, aubergines are at the top of my list of most delicious vegetables. I could eat a meal made with aubergines every day. My favourite way of cooking them is grilling or roasting. Here is my twist on Nigel Slater’s grilled aubergine with a garlic cream. Roasted garlic cloves wrapped in foil. Once the aubergines are cool enough to handle. Melt the coconu...

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Wednesday, 17 October 2012. Pulses for the heart. Following the theme on Indian food, I decided to make a soup which is not only comforting and packed with protein but so quick to make that you’ll have the time to potter around the house. You can almost use your cupboard essentials. There you go: easy, quick and nutritious. Plus the coconut oil. Add the chickpeas and red lentils. It's good for your heart! Cicer ari...

Margot's Kitchen: January 2012
http://margotskitchen.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Monday, 30 January 2012. Ok, you have to bear with me because the soup obsession hasn’t finished just yet. Mulligatawny is one of my favourites. It is an Indian type of soup with spices. It is fragrant and has that warming comfort-food factor that I love on cold days. This soup has different variations and is often thickened with rice. Since I learnt a recipe by Annie Bell. The chicken (already browned). 1/2 teaspo...

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Monday, 25 June 2012. Open sandwiches are the perfect quick lunch for the Danish. And the Nordic way suits me fine. I became a fan since my nutrition college days, when I used to go to the Scandinavian Kitchen. For now, here is the one I made today. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. My open sandwich with curried chicken. It's quick and easy! Open sandwich with curried chicken topping. 50 ml plain sheep yogurt.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Wednesday, 29 February 2012. How to.make butter. With an extra double cream in the fridge and a small amount of butter, which was about to run out, I thought it would be a good idea to make butter and post the recipe to show how easy it is to make our own butter (it requires some patient but it is very rewarding). I have already declared my love for butter in this previous post. I hope you enjoy it! Turn the mixtur...

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Monday, 31 October 2011. Stocking up for winter – part 3 Fish. Making fish stock - like chicken and beef - is very simple and easy. Although the other stocks take a long time to cook, it’s better not to simmer the fish stock for too long as the flavour becomes bitter. When making fish stock, use the whole fish carcass and head (see nutritional benefits below). The line caught sea bream carcass after being filleted.

Margot's Kitchen: An open meal
http://margotskitchen.blogspot.com/2012/09/an-open-meal.html
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf). Tuesday, 18 September 2012. The menu at my friend's house in Brazil. The dish I chose to post here was our starter. He told me that he had it at Gabrielle Hamilton’s restaurant in New York years ago and, since then, he added his own touch. "It is Solange's favourite", he says. I am now adding my own touches and that is the way recipes fly around the world. The spinach for about 1 minute. Layer the sautéed spinach.
