Fish: Fish recipes in a second


Bringing cooking ideas to the table everyday is not a joke. Sometimes we just run out of them and only we can do is the most traditional thing that comes to the head first.
This is what's happening to me lately, after going to the seaside and seeing lot's of sea food shops I come back with my head full of fish.
But since I have no imagination left for the day I just settle for this.

Oven grilled fish with potato and carrot puree.
Enjoy!

Grilling on the boat



It's called a floating market, you will find all kind of food being prepared on the boat and while on another boat you can buy and be served all kind of food. This lady menu of the day included grilled fish and all seafood you can imagine you wanted to eat on your trip to the river.
Want to take home some vegetables too? No, Problem the lady on another boat will sell you just that.
Have a grilling boaty day woun't you?

Dessert: Improvise from what you have


We had dinner the other day with friends at an Italian restaurant here in Bangkok. The chef gave us a list of the dessert menu and we were like no'Tiramisu' please and the guy said let me see what I can come up with.

Just imagine the bigné cakes that you can get from any supermarket, transforming them into something like this?

Fill in with icecream of your choice, decorate with chocolate syrup if you have. Give it a hollywood touch with a rose or any other flower available yummmmmmyyyy.

Satays: meat skewers




on the same visit to the market I also got this. This lady is preparing Satays which is chicken, beef or pork skewers. Satays are marinated in curry and fish sauce.
To have the wooden skewers not burning them when you start grilling soak them in water. I usually soak them when I prepare the meat as it marinates the skewers are also soaked.
Have a nice skewers weekend

Vegetables I like the floating ones


Our recent visit to a floating market just outside Bangkok, it is amazing how you go shopping on a boat, buy your vegetables and fish from another boat, cook them on your boat and sell to the buyers from another boat.

Thailand famous floating markets. An experience of a lifetime.

Living: Blooms around your kitchen




My Mom in Law Kitchen balcony. She loves flowers and spends this period of the year planting new ones or just working around the old ones. The holiday house in the mountains, homes lovely velvety roses.
But, I tell myself instead of flowers I would put potatoes and all vegetables.
Flower lovers send your balcony pictures to me!
