Allll Riiiightt!! I'm glad to see this thread back, I'm finally back into cooking again. Last night I made Gazpacho, but I used a different recipe which was ok, because I couldn't find my original, which was very good. Does anybody have any good gazpacho recipes?

i know i've written about C&Z a lot (my favorite food blog, chocolateandzucchini.com), but am super excited and keep meaning to post: clotilde quit her day job and gets to put out a book so that we can have treats on our coffee table as well as our computer, how cool is that?! if you haven't checked out her site, you are missing some of the best travels and virtual food around.

"half and half" rice.
You stir fry some (handfull or half a cup) of rice in a pan with oil until its brownny yellow (not too much or it tastes burnt) then you add as much water/stock as you need to boil whatever type of rice it is you are using. Bring it to a boil add the rest of the rice you want to cook stir turn the heat down and leave it till all the water has dissapeared and the rice is cooked.
EDIT: Thought Id get it written up nicer so here is a direct quote from my mum. serves 6
I would add though first sign rice is frying is that it goes white really wite like popcorn color and smells abit like that.INGREDIENTS:
• 3 cups of long grained rice (basmati or similar)
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 4 cups of water
• salt
PREPARATION:
Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Place just under 1/2 the rice in the oil and stir. Keep stirring until all of the rice has changed colour. Most will be dark brown, but some will be just yellow.
Add the water and the rest of the rice. Season with salt. Bring back to the boil, then lower the heat and cover.
Cook for a further 20 minutes.
This is a good rice dish to serve when the main meal is slightly dry or does not have a lot of colour.

yes that's the way we do it night... but we also do it the way I told you with the baking pan... we put a small cp of rice for each person... we frie it with oil and salt, and then after it's a little yellow and hard we add the water where the meat was boiled and put it in the oven untill it's cooked.... but before it is completely cooked when the water starts to vanish we add the meat that has been boiled to be cooked along with the rice... it's delicious...
that's how I always keep diets, in fact my diet always starts from tomorrow...
HUmm theres lso rice with milk in the oven (not sweet though) somtimes has meat withit but I dont exactly rember how yu make it. I think iits
Melt a table sppoon of gee or butter in the pan in the oven add rice add milk (or mix of milk and water) until its about an inch above the llevel of the rice put in oven and then you get lovley soft rice with a crispy layer on the top.
Im making my self hungry just thinking about it

I need a new chicken recipe. I'm bored with the same old grilled chicken.
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Hey Papayahed we sometimes prepare the chicken like this... in a plate we put oil, salt, pepper... then we take parts of the chicken and roll them in this so called sauce and then we bake them of course you can also put some butter in the pan... they are delicious like that...
Have you tried Hot-Pot?
where you boil the chicken and then debone it, you use the broth as a base and in a largish pot place it on a hot plate in the middle of the table (where you will be eating) now the people who are eating this usually use bowls...but not for the soup.
You take some of your favourite vegitables, or tofu, shrimp, lobster...whatever food you like, and boil it in the pot at a low boil, and people remove what item they want to eat and eat it, and add more vegitables or other food to the pot to maintain a continuos chain of food...it is kind of like super finger foods! the next day you can use the soup base for superb chicken soup. (you also put the boiled chicken meat in the pot for the first evening aswell)
List of best ingrediants:
- needle mushrooms
- chicken
- mushrooms
- Tofu
- Bokchoy
- spinach
- pork
- shrimp
- Polak
- duck feet
- cow or goat stomache
- eal
Trust me, it is the bomb!
