If you are acquainted with Indian food, like I thought I was then consider this question I pose to you today: Is Indian food countriversal (like universal but for countries)? Is it?
Well I certainly thought it was. Sipping on a mug of steaming ginger tea and chatting with friend and neighbor I reeled off all the Indian dishes I loved so – Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken and on and on I went. Dishes that my old friends and neighbours had lovingly prepared for me time and time again.

When Macbeth asked for a posset to be prepared for him before going to bed he referred to a curdled milk drink, popular in his time. It was considered a specific remedy for some minor illnesses, such as a cold, and a general remedy for others, as even today people drink hot milk to help them get to sleep.

I had wanted to make my own pasta forever and getting one of the silver, rolling thingies was top of my list in Nigeria, in 2003. So when a friend moving abroad offered me his brand new, unused machine, I snapped it up!

Currently on a mission to create awareness about Nigerian cuisine - its flavours, history, culture and similarities with other world cuisines!I’ve always wanted to make a terrine so when Penny tooted the International Incident Party horn, I danced to her tune.
A year ago, I updated my library with a purchase of Franck Pontais’s book ‘Terrines & Verrines’- one of the few English books (the other mostly in French) on the subject of those two master categories of cuisine a la Francais. Terrines are great make-ahead (and good-to-freeze) dishes for large gatherings – making great accompaniments to main courses; alternatively, they could be well portioned into small portions for starters or canapés. So armed with this great catalogue of beautiful recipes and flavours, I set about trying out mini versions.

Till someone else made a case/presented the value proposition for it and caused you to do a 180 degree turn? Me too.

I say it goes by many appellations. It starts off as ‘Poor planning results in burnt paella’ and quickly transforms itself to the ‘Husband’s most requested dish’.
Paella in Barcelona
No mean feat, considering that husband has no long term, short-term memory when it comes to meals.

I wonder if it is actually possible to adopt royalty. Well, if it isn’t then I would like to give a slaw of mangoes to the Dutch queen on this gracious occasion of her birthday. A bit of tropical meets spring meets western and tastes delicious. And more even. Read more…
