I don’t like broth. I’ve never liked it and I don’t think I would ever like a broth in this life. A good broth is mainly fat. Fat is the best taste carrier (that’s why food on a non-fat diet tastes like a cardboard with shavings), and the idea of a broth is the … [Read more…]
When it comes to sharing recipes, there are two kinds of people.

Yesterday evening I discovered that autumn has arrived completly unnoticed. Although on farmers market reign pumpkins and chanterelles, hundreds of varieties of apples and pears, plums “perfect for the jam”, but the days are sunny and warm (even hot). Although I’m closing the window for the night and I’ve pulled a blanket out of … [Read more…]
A few days ago FB I had the following conversation: “And today I’ll have tom yum with corn” “Sounds yum yum” “And it is hot hot.” Excellent summary, to be honest. If you do not know the tom yum soup, it is high time to try. In the stores tom yum paste … [Read more…]
