Tomato and Basil Pasta is a simple and flavourful pasta recipe based on the Italian Caprese salad. Caprese salad is comprised of very fresh, ripe tomatoes served with slices of fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese and fresh basil all simply dressed with best-quality extra virgin olive oil.

The red tomatoes, white cheese and green herbs evoke the Italian flag. As well, this simple preparation allows the individual ingredients to shine. Hope you will like the video recipe that added artichoke hearts!

Breakfast is one of the most important meals though there are people who tend to skip it. I like soft boiled egg and in Hungary and the western countries, eating soft boiled egg by dipping the toast cut into 'finger-sized' like these in the photo. For most asians, it is served on a plate and sprinkled with pepper and some dark soya sauce, like this:

I love cherry tomatoes. That's the French Cherry Tomatoes and they looked really deliciously good! :)

Beef Burgundy or boeuf à la bourguignonne is a well known traditional French recipe. It is a stew prepared with beef braised inred wine, traditionally redBurgundy, and beef broth, generally flavoured with garlic,onions and a bouquet garni, withpearl onions and mushroomsadded towards the end of cooking. Traditionally the meat was larded with lardons, but modern beef is sufficiently tender and well marbled that this very time-consuming technique is rarely used anymore. However, bacon cut into small cubes is still used to produce the initial cooking fat and added to the dish at the end.

Tom yum is characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors, with fragrant herbs generously used. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, limejuice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers.

Tom yum is usually made with prawns (tom yum goong or tom yum kung), chicken (tom yum kai), fish (tom yum pa in Laotian and tom yum pla in Thai), or mixed seafood (tom yum thale or tom yum po taek) and mushrooms - usually straw mushrooms or oyster mushrooms. The soup is often topped with generous sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro (coriander leaves).

How about Caviar Canapés and Champagne? :)


Given its high price in the West, caviar is associated with luxury and wealth. In Russia and other Eastern European cultures, though still expensive, caviar is commonly served at holiday feasts and special occasions. In Russia, the concept generally includes both sturgeon roe (black caviar) and salmon roe (red caviar), the former not necessarily superior to the latter.

In East Asia, "caviar" made from caplin roe may be found on sushi and is often very affordable. Salmon roe is called "ikura" in Japanese, a derivative of the Russian, "ikra" (caviar). Sturgeon-derived caviar is not eaten by Kosher observant Orthodox Jews because sturgeon lack the scales mandated by the kosher diet. Sturgeon possess ganoid scales instead of the permitted ctenoid and cycloid scales. In Islam generally all sea or river animals such as fish are lawful and halal which applies to the sturgeon as well as its caviar.

 A beef tenderloin, known as an eye fillet in New Zealand and Australia, filet in France and fillet in England, is cut from the loin of beef.

As with all quadrupeds, the tenderloin refers to the psoas major muscle anterior to the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae, near the kidneys. This muscle does very little work, so it is the most tender part of the beef. The tenderloin can either be cut for roasts or for steaks.

Tenderloins from steers and heifers are most common at retail, but those from cows are common in foodservice applications, such as less expensive steakhouses.

A common misconception is that the tenderloin is also called a Chateaubriand steak, when in fact, the Chateaubriand is a recipe for a particular tenderloin steak which originates from France.

Typically, the Chateaubriand is taken from the center-cut of the tenderloin, in a large enough portion to feed two. There are three main "parts" of the tenderloin: the butt, the center-cut, and the tail. The butt end is usually suitable for carpaccio, as the eye can be quite large; cutting a weight-portioned steak from the butt will invariably yield a very thin steak. The center-cut is suitable for portion-controlled steaks as the diameter of the eye remains relatively consistent. The center-cut can yield the traditional 'fillet mignon' or tenderloin steak, as well as the Chateaubriand and Beef Wellington. The tenderloin tapers off into a tail, which is generally unsuitable for steaks due to consistency of size concerns, but can be used in recipes where small pieces of a tender cut is called for, such as Stroganoff.

Chicken Tandoori is a highly popular Indian dish consisting of roasted chicken, yogurt, and spices.

The chicken is marinated in yogurt and seasoned with tandoori masala. It is moderately hot, but the heat is reduced in most Western nations. Cayenne pepper, red chili powder or kashmiri red chilli powder is used to give it a fiery red hue. A higher amount of Turmeric produces an orange colour. In some modern versions, both red and yellow food colourings are used. It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in a tandoor (clay oven), but can also be prepared on a traditional grill.

Momo, is a type of dumpling native to the Newa people of Nepal. It is similar to Mongolian buuz, Chinese jiaozi, or Central Asian manti, closely related to Russian pelmeni, German Maultaschen or Italian Ravioli. The Tibetan word Momo is a loanword from the Chinese mómo 馍馍

Momos are made with a simple flour-and-water dough—white flour is generally preferred—and sometimes a little yeast or baking soda is added to give a more 'doughy' texture to the finished product.

The fillings are meat: different kinds of meat filling are popular in different regions. In Tibet, Nepal and North Eastern India, goat, buffalo, chicken, yak meat, and pork are the most popular, while in Ladakh, India lamb and yak are common, while in other Indian cities (e.g., Guwahati, Shillong), pork and chicken would be the most popular meat used in momos.

Minced meat is combined with any or all of the following: onions, shallots, garlic, and coriander (cilantro). The mixture is spiced with salt, pepper, and often ground cumin. Some people also add finely puréed tomatoes, and many variations are possible. Momos are a traditional food in Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, and Ladakh.

A blintz, blintze, or blin (plural: blintzes, blini, or blinchiki; Russian: блин blin, блины (pl.); cf. Lithuanian: Blynai, blynai; Polish: bliny; Ukrainian: млинці, mlyntsi; Yiddish: בלינצע blintze, Kashubian language: plińce) is a thin pancake. It is somewhat similar to a crêpe with the main difference being the fact that yeast may be used in blintzes, but not in crêpes.

Blins may be prepared and served in three basic ways.
They may be eaten "as is". In this case the batter may contain various add-ins, from grated potato or apple to raisins. These blini are quite common in Eastern Europe and are more solidly filled than the spongy pancakes usually eaten in North America.

They may be smeared with butter, sour cream, jam, honey, or caviar (whitefish, salmon, or traditional sturgeon caviar, although the latter is not kosher and therefore not used in Jewish cuisine) and then they might be folded or rolled into a tube. In that form they are similar to French crêpes. The caviar filling is popular during Russian-style cocktail parties.

A filling such as jam, fruit, potato, cottage cheese or farmer cheese, cooked ground meat, cooked chicken, and even chopped mushrooms, bean sprouts, cabbage and onions (for a Chinese eggroll-type blintz) is rolled or enveloped into a pre-fried blintz and then the blintz is lightly re-fried, sautéed, or baked. Such blintzes are also called nalysnyky (Ukrainian: налисники) or blinchiki (Russian: блинчики).

Buckwheat bliny are part of traditional Russian cuisine.

So this version is made by me today :)

Hungarian Lecsó is a thick vegetable stew which consist mainly of Hungarian peppers and tomato, onion, lard, salt, sugar and ground paprika.

Steps:
1. Heat the lard (I prefer smoked szalonna) in a large pot over medium-high flame.
2. Add the onions and sauté until translucent and starting to brown.
3. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the paprika until well blended.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low and return the pot to the flame.
6. Stir in the peppers, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer until the peppers are cooked through and soft.

*Do not add water as the moisture from the fresh tomatoes and paprika will create the best texture. Adjust seasoning such as salt and pepper powder and serve.

I have made this many times, my husband Zsolt loves the szalonna (bacon) be served separately like this:-

but if you want to make a healthy weight-loss version of this stew, use olive oil and just a few drips.

Enjoy!

To be really honest, I don't mind an oven like this. I can imagine how delicious are pizzas or even traditional Hungarian Cassarole dishes will taste like if they are baked and prepared in this amazing oven. I love the Hungarian Potato Casserole, the Goulash Casserole and the Cabbage Casserole. This is what I've made for the Hungarian Layered Potato Casserole though not using this rustic looking outdoor oven.

Steamboat or Hot pot is 火鍋 huǒ guō consists of a simmering metal pot of stock at the center of the dining table. These thinly sliced mutton are also called instant-boiled mutton 涮羊肉 and are mostly found in the Inner Mongolian (better known as Mongolian Fire Pot). 涮羊肉火鍋 is created in the Yuan Dynasty and these fresh non-greasy yet tender mutton are specially chosen from the back, rear legs of the sheep. 


While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot and are cooked at the table. Typical hot pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, leafy vegetables, mushrooms, wontons, egg dumplings, and seafood. The cooked food is usually eaten with a dipping sauce. In many areas, hot pot meals are often eaten in the winter.
