The Swedish Chef who went to Italy because he was curious about the italian cuisine. A pleasant mix of ingredients and spices with meaty chunks of information and mouthwatering pictures. It´s modern haute cuisine and photography.

It's time for chocolate!

My kids wanted to make cookies today which is always fun. They love to help and it they get to learn some new skills like measuring and following instructions. They measure the ingredients and add them to the bowl then put the blobs of dough on the cookie sheet. The kids love these ones and they are the favorite of my wife. I like the spice and tend to do 'heaping' on the spice measures. The Corn Flakes add a wonderful crunch. These go fast in my house so I always make a triple batch.

A healthy version of a classic dish.

1 cup grated Carrot (2 medium Carrots)
1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
2 small Green Chilies
2 tbsp Cilantro, finely chopped....

the shortbread crust is a perfect buttery container for the filling. the filling is not overly sweet - i would venture to say that it is more spicy than it is sweet. the original recipe called for aniseed which i am not a fan of - so i substituted cinnamon and a bit of apple pie spice.

i know it is cliche - but i cannot believe it has been a year since i began picky cook. it has been a tremendous amount of work - thankfully it is work i love to do so it makes it totally worthwhile.

If you are looking for a special cheese course to serve for your sweetheart on the Valentine’s Day, look no further. We found a perfect cheese for the occasion – a “chocolate” cheese.
