Panna Cotta with Rangpur agar agar topping Panna Cotta with Rangpur agar agar topping By Alessandra Zecchini 03/11/13 08:35 Yesterday I posted about this citrus fruit, which I believe to be a Rangpur "lime" (technically not a lime!). And as promised, here is the recipe: Panna Cotta with Rangpur agar agar topping ingredients 500 ml cream (if you are Vegan use Coconut cream, I...
Rangpur, not Tahitian limes Rangpur, not Tahitian limes By Alessandra Zecchini 03/10/13 09:56 Sue brought me some organic citrus fruit from a friend's garden in Coromandel, she told that they were Tahitian limes. I heard this before in NZ, I think that this is the common name here, but they don't look like limes, more like yellow mandarins, and...

Raita, or Tzatziki Raita, or Tzatziki By Alessandra Zecchini 03/03/13 08:50 Still in yogurt mood, and why not, it is hot and summery and I feel like eating refreshing food. I love making this yogurt sauce, I call it raita when I serve it with Indian food, and tzatziki when I serve it with Greek-Turkish food. The only difference...

Eating horses and Lies on the Plate, a must read from Slow Food International Eating horses and Lies on the Plate, a must read from Slow Food International By Alessandra Zecchini 02/24/13 01:18 Being a vegetarian has many advantages, and one is that I don't eat horse simply because I don't eat beef either (or lamb, or pork, or chicken, or... you name it). Of course you never know these days! I never buy ready made food as I tend to cook from scratch,...

Cherry tomatoes, bocconcini and blue borage flowers By Alessandra Zecchini 02/23/13 07:13 I can never get tired of Caprese, the classic tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil salad that represent Italy both in taste and in colour. But just for once, and just for a change, when I picked my cherry tomatoes from the garden I also got a few borage flowers...

Life is a bowl of (white) cherries Life is a bowl of (white) cherries By Alessandra Zecchini 02/17/13 10:44 White cherries remind me of the crunchy white 'duroni' cherries I used to eat in Italy as a child. I guess that, like the red ones, the best ones that are grown in NZ are exported, as in the shops we only seem to get seconds, and need to spend quite a bit...
Vegan pot-sticker dumplings Vegan pot-sticker dumplings By Alessandra Zecchini 02/14/13 21:25 I love this type of dumplings, for the filling I use what I have at hand really, but generally the base is tofu, Chinese dried mushrooms, soaked and boiled first (keep the broth for later) and fresh coriander.
