The Daring Cooks Soufflé: Rising to the Challenge

I have many habits – good and bad. Some I’ve stemmed with age, like tearing recipes out of magazines. I don’t do that anymore. Well, I shouldn’t do that anymore and I don’t except when I come across a stack of mags with recipes I know the ‘owner’ would never cook. Take my sister, K for instance – she loves to cook and eat but in moderation, especially the cooking part. Now when I visited her in her new flat in Glasgow a few weeks ago, we spent the weekend talking food, I made a couple of lemon cakes for her and pored through loads of ‘Good Food’ mags that had been given to her by the previous occupant of the apartment.

Daring to Cook Brunswick Stew!

It was a year ago, almost to this day, when I gave up watching TV, for good.
The good news is one year later, I’m back. But why did I let go in the first place?

Well, this – my hiding place, my lab, my joy, my blog. For me…and for you (if you want, of course!)
I wasn’t particularly sad to ditch NCIS and Numbers, after all, years before when we moved from Nigeria, I gave up BBC Food and what’s TV life without that? Nothing I say.

Minced Chicken Satays with the Daring Cooks

The January 2010 DC challenge was hosted by Cuppy of Cuppylicious and she chose a delicious Thai-inspired recipe for (Pork) Satay from the book: 1000 Recipes by Martha Day.

We, cooks had the options of doing what we wanted as long as we marinated the chosen meat or veg!!!
