Your Dreams Coming True In The Kitchen

I was curious about the ingredients "cup of water" and the "½ tsp" of cinnamon mixed in a cocoa cake. I never had cocoa cake with cinnamon before, it is delicious.  As I said I am not a dessert making guy and wanted to surprise Maria (the expert) and thank Ellie for this beautiful idea.

As You Can See I like Pepper...Only This Is Green Pepper. Baked Scalloped Potatoes go very well with grilled meats as well as the sautée scalloped potatoes. Only the baked type is slightly richer in ingredients.

T oday's recipe is from India inspired by Mridula Baljekar's "Curry Lover's Cookbook". This edition is published by Southwater. Southwater is an imprint of Anness Publishing Ltd 2003, Hermes House 88-89 Blackfriars Road, London SEI 8HA. Quoting Ms. Mridula Baljekar The use of green spice mixes is popular all over India. Although in southern India the mixes are generally used to cook vegetables and fish, in the north, where most people are meat-eaters, they are often used to prepare meat and poultry dishes.

A s a reminder of the cuisine of the eightees, you can use the well thickened mushroom sauce to fill  Vol-Au-Vent freshly made with puff pastry.

A good idea for your today's dinner would be pork chops with a blueberry sauce and cubed potatoes which can be made very easily provided you have the little thingy....

Sauce Moutarde: Mustard Sauce: - ½ liter of fresh cream 35%. - 5-8 Tblsp. Dijon Mustard (the one with the mustard grains) called A L'Anciènne.
