Kitchen stories

If you remember I've mentioned that The V. and I decided to be more adventurous in the kitchen and use the cookbooks we have at home to perk up our dinners/lunches/desserts.. We thought we could at least make it once a week but that prove to be so ambitious. Nevertheless, we did anyway make some progress and came up with yummy, new recipes.

So here are a few pictures of this project.


I have a lot of rhubarb growing in my garden and I really didn't know what to do with them so I decided to make some jams - rhubarb with ginger. If you like ginger this is indeed a winner!

Very simple potato gratin (just thinly sliced potatoes, red bell peppers and sliced cheese on top!)

I thought I should be a bit ambitious and made my first ever quiche from scratch, including the dough - filling is just spinach, leeks, cheese and egg. Very yummy, it was a winner. not bad for starters-

When I was sick I was craving for some filipino food - The V thought he could make something for me and decided to cook Tinola The V way.. I told him he should have put more water in it because it should actually be soup but he followed the recipe and this is how it looked like. It was yummy though and probably help me to get better soon :DSo that's it for now..
If you need any of the recipe, just email me :D
