The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: September 2008
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. I'm back from the depths of nowhere, aka Bolivia. Verdict: the food is nothing to write home about, though it is interestingly different. First off, let me confess my love of our new kitchen - which essentially boils down to mine if you consider usage. It's big and wide, and though it has a few faults, is ridiculously amazing for a college kitchen. So to kick the year off, we threw a housewarming party, and I cooked up some delicious goodies for everyone to munch on. Now I coo...

Saturday, May 16, 2009. Variety Hour: Hummus bi Tahini, Kebab, Sabzi Pilau, and Coffee! Warning - this is going to be scatter-brained as I'm finally updating with all the things blog-worthy that I've cooked in, wow, over a month! Which has been unfortunately not been a ton =(. School is kind of time consuming, ya know? First off, I'd like to give credit to Desert Candy. S blog for the inspiration for this new. Definitely leaps and bounds better than hummus I've made in the past! Basmati rice parboiled an...

The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: October 2008
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. I love little indian shops! So I just recently discovered a little indian corner grocer a block from my house! He sells paneer, spices, and all the other little goodies. I tried frying up some paneer for the first time, as well as make some dal, and of course, a little salate to round things off. With caramelized onions, sweet bell pepper, garlic, spices, and curry leaves (also a garnish). I think this was Masoor dal - split lentils.but i'm not 100% sure). Does not melt, as I ha...

The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: Two Onions....
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2009/04/two-onions.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. And the only thing watering was my mouth. Okay that just sounds awful, but you get the idea? I wasn't drooling into the food, I swear! I was hungry for a good Afghan treat, but I didn't have a lot of time, so here is an adaptation. Of a classic rustic Afghan dish:. Do Piazeh (lit: "Two Onions"). And drizzled with lemon-yogurt sauce . My father actually typically made this dish very similarly - sans the blackeye peas. And of course, no couscous! What book do you have? Ive been tryi...

The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: Baklava Recipe
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2009/05/baklawa-recipe-from-afghan-food-and.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. I was typing this recipe up for a friend, so I figured I'd post it here! You may remember the Baklava. I made in November. Enjoy! Afghan Food and Cookery by Helen Saberi. Makes about 30 – enough for a large party. 2 cups ground almonds (can sub. walnuts). 1 cup ground pistachio (this is a big part of the flavor, so try not to sub.). 2 1/4 cups sugar. 2 tbsp lemon juice. 1/4 tsp saffron (generous pinch). 2 tbsps rosewater (A neat variation might be orange blossom water though.).

The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: February 2009
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2009. I have always been fascinated by the idea and silky golden appearance of flan, yet I can't recall ever seriously getting a chance to try it, that is until I made it! So while I can't say how it compares, I did receive a lot of positive feedback. It's a great recipe! Cinnamon and Vanilla Flan. I know this might be obvious to some, but I really didn't expect it to actually do that! And Tyler (the food network host who created the recipe) specifically says not to stir. I didn't ...

The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: November 2009
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 22, 2009. Meurav Yerushalmi = Divine Street Food. Two of my best friends bought me a subscription to my favorite cooking magazine: Saveur. Not only are the recipes and photos stellar, but they really make an effort to find real, authentic, world cuisine. When I saw they had an Afghan recipe in their collection I knew it was true love. My first issue arrived and had a mouthwatering. Set of recipes from Jerusalem (which means basically a mixture of Arab cuisines) , including this recipe.

The Culinary Adventures of a Confessed Shakamboo: November 2008
http://foodieman.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2008. I had no studying to do.so I made baklava yesterday! I had never made it before, and I used an Afghan recipe. Baklava is a common treat across central asia, the middle east, and of course, Greece. However, while it's exact origins are disputed, it is quite certain it developed somewhere in the Ottoman Empire, and has since become engrained into the cuisine of a dozen countries. I just about melted reading the recipe. Monday, November 24, 2008. Yesterday, after chopping my us...
