The V. and I decided to have 1(one) yes, just 1 new year's resolution this year - well we normally don't do such things so this is our first attempt to have one. We decided to cook each week a new dish/new recipe. Since I have so many cookbooks, it's time I use them dilligently. The V. also has a cook book which he alone can read - it's in Cyrillic so it's almost like a secret language to me. So far we are doing well, we take turns in cooking. Last week was The V's turn, so this week is my turn to come up with a new dish.Here are some of our yummy creations :) We have actually done 4 recipes so far, all baked, 3 savoury meals and a dessert.
This is a traditional bulgarian dish called moussaka, some of you might know it from the nearby greek restaurant or holidays in Greece or even Turkey. It is actually a bulgarian dish as well - the difference is that Bulgarians don't put eggplants in their dish compared to the famous greek variation. This one is a vegetarian moussaka, major ingredient was rice and potatoes.
Recipe from the cookbook - good.
This is the best ever carrot cake ever:) almost flourless with 500 grams of carrots in it! Yummy and cream cheese frosting. If you want the recipe, just leave me a comment. I brought this to church for a special coffee time. The women were flocking around the cake asking who the baker was till The V proudly pointed to me.
Recipe from the cookbook - excellent!
This time The V. put meat in his moussaka - just potatoes, minced meat, tomatoes,herbs, and spices. This one needs a few adjustments in the future. I told The V. he should have used his Mom's true and trusted recipe but hey, we want to be a bit adventurous.Recipe - needs improvement.
Oh and this is the first ever new recipe I cooked for this year which gave me the inspiration to cook a new recipe every week, I got a cook
book from my blogger friend Raquel when we had our first meeting :). Thanks again Raq for the wonderful gift. This is shepherd's pie with lentils and vegetable in it.Recipe - very good!
Well that would be all for now. Will show you what I will whip up in my kitchen this week.
