Food Like That: Recipes your mouth will like

A basic made up Asian style soup.

This is a very simple recipe that barely deserves a write up. However, it WAS delicious.

I found this recipe for Beef Jerky in The Herb Gardener. I wonder why you need smoke flavour? Boris, you might want to try this. Talk to your friendly butcher or use one of your sharp knives to cut the strips.

I can't find the recipe that I originally made a couple of Christmas' ago, so I ended up making this from scratch. Most people aren't used to having Brussel sprouts shredded -- they're good.

What do you make when you are short on flour and eggs? Jonnycakes! These turned out to be really easy to make and went well with stew, and also drizzled with honey.

I've just upgraded the site to Acquia Drupal 6. Recently, I created a foodlikethat Twitter account. Further tweaks to come.

So, I did a whole bunch of "experimental" baking today. Experimental mainly because a) I don't bake a lot and b) I tried tweaking a bunch of baking recipes. And by "tweaking" and "bunch", I mean not quite having all the ingredients for one recipe, so vaguely scavenging a few other recipes trying to see if I could come up with a Franken-recipe.

First up was corn bread for breakfast. Corn bread is, as far as baking goes, NOT HARD. However, I was faced with no flour, and the need for no dairy. The soy milk worked just fine. But spelt flour...

Thanks first of all to Anthony and Sarah of Farmstead Wines for putting together a wonderful day of cooking, food, fun, and friends.

Now, what was this American Thanksgiving all about? Well, Anthony had invited a select few to join him in an all day cook fest at his home in East Vancouver. Of course to celebrate Thanksgiving (Anthony is originally from the US), but also to enjoy cooking and drink some great Farmstead Wines.

A quick lunch I put together for folks with dairy issues. The coconut milk makes it creamy, and the mustard adds some zing.

A cake I always bake during plum season and freeze pieces for later use. When I grew up, plum cake and potato soup was a regular meal. I don't like the dough very thick, so I roll it out really thin and use the rest of the dough for a braid.
