Some cool drink for a hot day

Posted: May 26th, 2010 | No Comments »

It sure is hot. Humid, too. I’ve found the perfect way to cool off without ever having to get out of the house by making my own fruit coolers. You can really do this with any fruits, but this is what I had on hand. Cool off, enjoy the sunshine and relax. This recipe serves 2, so share it with someone special to you.

Posted: May 12th, 2010 | 1 Comment »

This is such a light pasta, perfect for warm early spring or summer days. Bring home fresh vegetables from the garden or farmer’s market and come hone to enjoy cooking a quick and easy meal. If you can’t find corrallini pasta, which is a tiny, bite-size pasta, you can use ditalini or any small noodle instead. Read recipe on My Halal Kitchen…

Breakfast Eggs with Smoked Salmon

Posted: April 29th, 2010 | 1 Comment »

It’s time for some delicious food again. This week Yvonne Maffei introduces you to a amazing tasting perfect day starter. I didn’t ask the chef at Colette for the recipe, but instead I tried to re-create the dish myself at home by guessing at the ingredients that were most likely in our brunch. It tasted so good, I think I may have nailed down a recipe we’ll be having for our own brunch at home. For brunch we decided on the Scrambled Eggs with Atlantic Smoked Salmon and Red Pepper Coulis (sauce). It was perfectly cooked, with quality smoked salmon and just enough punch of flavor coming from the red pepper- a delightful combination. Read recipe on My Halal Kitchen…

Penne Pasta with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce

This week we’ll present another delicous cooking idea thanks to My Halal Kitchen. One of the best things about large squash such as pumpkin is that since they have a long shelf life, you can decorate your home with them (I personally prefer the real thing to any plastic decor) and still have time later on to use them for what they were created- as food.

Looking for some delicious food?

Posted: April 15th, 2010 | No Comments »

Maybe you return from an enjoyable trip but still miss all the delicious food. Or you just take some time off from your job and like to cook some great meals. So we did a little collaboration with “My Halal Kitchen” and present you each week a tasty meal or some cooking tips. Let’s start with an exotic Grapefruit Shrimp Curry.

I wouldn’t normally make this type of recipe out of the blue or just for having both grapefruit and shrimp somewhere in the kitchen. I made this recipe because a fellow website editor was asking for recipe writers, cooks and cookbook authors to come up with a recipe where ‘grapefruit is the main feature’.
