It’s cold and rainy and what
could you want more than to cozy up on the couch with a delicious bowl of <b>fragrant</b> and <b>spicy prawn curry</b>. <o:p></o:p>Full of flavour and packed
with flavourful spices like <i>cumin</i>, <i>coriander</i>, <i>cinnamon</i>, <i>cardamom</i> and <i>turmeric</i>, this <b>curry</b> is not only aromatic but also wonderfully healthy. Adding curry leaves brings a signature South
Indian flavour to the dish. The tanginess of tamarind and fresh lime mixes well
with the creamy coconut sauce. Finally,
the addition of fresh prawns lends a light touch to this curry and even makes
it a good summer dish. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Additional garnishes like
fresh coriander, cucumber slices, pappadums and steamed basmati rice make this
a complete meal. Try out my recipe for this fragrant prawn curry tonight!</div>

Oh finally. Finally, another post! I'm sorry my loyal friends but I finally got myself together to do a post and it's on a subject near and dear to me - cookies. I have, on many occasions, rambled on to friends that I have not been able to find a delicious cookie here in Australia (sorry Aussies!). Cookies, often called biscuits here, are simply not cookies. Biscuits are awfully hard and crunchy. While I too enjoy a good crunchy biscuit now and then, it's the lovely softness of a cookie which brings a smile to my face. To me, the quintessential cookie is one that is soft and chewy and perhaps a bit crumbly too.<br />

These cookies are the real deal. A simple recipe made with dates and plenty of peanut butter (au naturel of course) - these wrinkly little balls of goodness are great to have with your next cup of tea. Not too sweet, but just a touch of sweetness added by the dates, and full of nutty flavour, these cookies are a winner. Not perfect looking but pretty darn good.<br />

<br />
<b><i>peanut butter and date cookies</i></b><br />
makes about 12-16 cookies<br />
<br />
<i>2/3 cup peanut butter (use organic/natural, no additives)</i><br />
<i>2 tbsp coconut oil</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup brown sugar </i><br />
<i>1 tbsp honey </i><br />
<i>2 whole eggs</i><br />
<i>1 tsp vanilla extract</i><br />
<i>1 1/3 cup organic plain flour</i><br />
<i>1.5 tsp baking powder</i><br />
<i>10-15 dates, pits removed and chopped roughly</i><br />
<br />
Method<br />
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.<br />
2. In large bowl mix peanut butter, coconut oil, honey, eggs and vanilla.<br />
3. Add dry ingredients - flour and baking powder and mix. At this point the batter might look a little strange and crumbly but just mix until combined.<br />
4. Add in date pieces and mix a touch further.<br />
5. Scoop out on lined baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes or until just cooked through.<br />
6. Take out to cool and enjoy.<br />
**note these are not very sweet cookies so if you like them sweet, eat with some fruity jam!<br />

A little bit of this and a little bit of that...that's all it takes to make a flavourful and delicious stew for your next dinner. The only effort this <b>fragrant seafood stew </b>requires is a trip to the nearest fish market or seafood counter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In this particular stew I used fresh <i>king prawns</i> (a favourite here in Australia), <i>black mussels</i> and <i>squid</i>. In addition to the salty and briny flavours of the sea, I added some classic aromatic accompaniments like plenty of <i>white wine, chopped garlic</i>, fresh and tinned <i>tomatoes</i>, a touch of <i>chilli</i> and handfuls of <i>herbs</i> such as bay, fresh lemon thyme, rosemary and basil. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSOLzjyfellxpxMNiAy4HTGrDPLsiqax9lbZP4e6r8pis_ylMQcGhYUY2nRHCYSpqgS4rNmuaa616xGpQH6bIWnhzzkzkXcVBahFhMsbFQOBI9p3gAuRVH4FAKWivJxdMbCVRyj0ePoU2W/s1600/prawn+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSOLzjyfellxpxMNiAy4HTGrDPLsiqax9lbZP4e6r8pis_ylMQcGhYUY2nRHCYSpqgS4rNmuaa616xGpQH6bIWnhzzkzkXcVBahFhMsbFQOBI9p3gAuRVH4FAKWivJxdMbCVRyj0ePoU2W/s1600/prawn+3.jpg" /></a></span></div>

The key to this dish is to let things stew - but not the seafood! Sounds funny, I know. First cook everything except for the seafood together on a slow heat, stir the pot a little and then, when all the tastes have come together you add the <b>star</b>. Fresh prawns, mussels and squid cook in just a few minutes and they don't need any more handling than that. Follow the recipe and you'll have perfectly cooked seafood every time! So lovely and delicious...</div>

<b><i>fragrant seafood stew</i></b><br />
serves 4<br />
<br />
<i>1 tbsp olive oil</i><br />
<i>3 shallots, chopped</i><br />
<i>3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped</i><br />
<i>2 bay leaves</i><br />
<i>1 sprig of rosemary</i><br />
<i>2 sprigs of lemon thyme</i><br />
<i>1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved</i><br />
<i>1 tin of tomatoes (use a good brand if you can!)</i><br />
<i>1 cup white wine</i><br />
<i>1 red chilli, seeds removed and chopped</i><br />
<i>1 tsp sugar</i><br />
<i>sea salt and cracked black pepper</i><br />
<i>water (about 1/2-1 cup)</i><br />
<i>6 large prawns (like king prawns or similar), cleaned</i><br />
<i>8-10 large mussels, scrubbed</i><br />
<i>1 squid (cleaned, skinned and sliced into pieces)</i><br />
<i>handful basil leaves</i><br />
<i>fresh lemons, quartered</i><br />
<br />
Place a large pot on medium heat and once hot add oil, shallots and stir for a few minutes. Then add garlic, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme. Sweat for about 5-10 minutes and then add tomatoes and white wine. While simmering add chopped chilli, sugar, salt and pepper to taste. At this point add some water because it will evaporate while cooking. Let stew for about 20-30 minutes on a low heat and add a bit more water if too dry. At this point increase heat to medium and place seafood in - prawns first - let cook 1-2 minutes with lid on, then stir in mussels and squid, place lid on pot. Wait just a few minutes until mussels are open. Turn off the heat and serve right away in bowls with fresh basil leaves and a quick drizzle of olive oil to mellow things out- serve with fresh bread and lemon.<br />

<b>Quinoa</b> (pronounced 'keen-wah') is considered a superfood. While I can't speak much on the reasons why this is the case, I can tell you that quinoa is actually an ancient seed and that it's quite delicious too. It's packed with protein and a perfect substitute for folks with wheat and gluten allergies. I know it's on the list of many healthy food eaters but even the more indulgent eaters of the world would love this dish.<br />

Combining simple ingredients - <i>toasted quinoa</i>, <i>crunchy raw almonds, fresh vegetables like red capsicum, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers</i>, along with <i>sweet sultanas</i> and fragrant <i>fresh mint</i> leaves - make this quinoa dish <b>the perfect lunch</b>. I won't leave out the dressing: made with a touch of garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon, balsamic and a touch of honey and chilli - it's the best accompaniment to bring out all the flavours of the food.<br />

<b><i>nutty quinoa salad</i></b><br />
makes 3-4 servings<br />
<br />
<b>salad</b><br />
<i>3/4 cup quinoa </i><br />
<i>1/4 cup raw almonds, chopped roughly</i><br />
<i>1 small cucumber, quartered and chopped</i><br />
<i>1 small red capsicum, chopped</i><br />
<i>1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, chopped </i><br />
<i>1/4 cup organic sultanas/raisins</i><br />
<i>1/2 bunch fresh mint leaves, torn</i><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>dressing</b><br />
<i>1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil</i><br />
<i>1 small garlic clove, crushed</i><br />
<i>1.5 tsp dijon mustard</i><br />
<i>1/4 lemon, juiced</i><br />
<i>1 tbsp balsamic vinegar</i><br />
<i>1/2 tsp crushed dried chillies </i><br />
<i>good pinch sea salt and fresh pepper</i><br />
<br />
To make quinoa: place medium size pot on medium heat - add washed quinoa grains and stir consistently until grains become toasted (about 5-7 minutes, depending on heat). Once toasted, add almonds and enough water to cover quinoa. As quinoa cooks, keep adding a little bit of water at a time (about 1/3 cup) until fully cooked. Let cool.<br />
While cooking quinoa, in a separate bowl mix vegetables, sultanas and mint. Make dressing by combining all ingredients (garlic is meant to impart flavour to the dressing, discard after letting it sit for a few minutes). Once quinoa is cooled, mix all elements together and adjust seasoning. Eat right away or place into fridge for a great lunch the next day!<br />

There is a cafe in an area of Toronto called Kensington Market. When I lived there I used to spend my Saturdays getting a deliciously hot and strong cappuccino and walking from stall to stall to see the various fruits and vegetables grocers had to offer. My morning was finished with a snack or lunch at an amazing vegan food spot called <b>Urban Herbivore</b>.<br />
***<br />
Now this is the type of cafe I would want to run -- if I wanted to run a cafe, that is. The place works because it offers a simple and fresh menu, often using overlooked ingredients that add that perfect little touch. They even make their own bread for sandwiches -- it's those little details that make a place like this so memorable.<br />

One of my favourite items from this cafe is a sweet potato muffin. This is a serious muffin -- not one of those cake-like, sweet and fatty offerings drummed up by many bakeries and cafes. In addition to using <i>sweet potatoes</i>, these muffins have <i>whole grains</i> and just enough <i>sweetness</i>.<br />

This is my version of their muffin -- <b>sweet potatoes, ripe bananas, sweet crimson raisins, wholegrain spelt oats, wholemeal flour, olive oil</b> and <b>agave syrup</b>. Definitely try this recipe out and if you're ever in Toronto, definitely visit <b>Urban Herbivore</b> - you won't be disappointed!<br />

<b><i>sweet potato muffins**</i></b><br />
makes 12 muffins<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>1 cup spelt oats</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>1/4 cup crimson raisins (or any other kind)</i></div>
<i>2 ripe bananas, mashed</i>
<i>1/3 cup olive oil</i><br />
<i>1 egg, lightly beaten </i><br />
<i>1/4 cup dark agave syrup</i><br />
<i>1 and 1/2 cup wholemeal flour</i><br />
<i>1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda</i><br />
<i>1 tsp ground cinnamon</i><br />
<i>1/4 tsp ground cardamon</i><br />
<i>1 and 1/4 cup sweet potato, cubed, cooked and cooled</i><br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 175 degrees C.<br />
Place oats and raisins in a medium bowl and add enough boiling water to cover. Let soak about 10-15 minutes. For wet ingredients, mix mashed bananas, olive oil, egg and agave syrup in a large bowl. For the dry ingredients, place flour, baking soda and spices in a bowl and mix. Strain soaked oats and raisins (rinse with cold water until cooled) and add to wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix carefully - don't over-mix!, then add in cooked sweet potatoes. At this point if mixture is too dry, add either 1/4 cup yoghurt or 1/4 applesauce.<br />
<br />
Place batter into muffin tin and bake about 30 minutes or until knife inserted comes out relatively clean (because you're using bananas you want to keep some moisture) Take out and let cool - serve with cream cheese - enjoy!<br />
<br />
*note this is not a vegan muffin but if you want to make it so, just remove egg and replace with apple sauce.<br />

It's amazing that just a few ingredients can create such a delicious treat. <b>Banana bread</b> is one of those baking staples for when you are lacking time or patience. It's not just easy to put together but even when you mess up the recipe a little it often still turns out wonderful and moist!<br />
***<br />
This recipe combines the sweet and creamy textures of overripe <i>bananas</i> (there are many in this recipe - I've used 4!), <i>wholemeal</i> and <i>plain flour</i>, <i>olive oil</i> (yes, I bake with this!) <i>eggs</i> and a touch of <i>brown sugar.</i> The perfect accompaniment to your morning or afternoon tea. Enjoy!<br />

I actually cannot believe that summer flew by so quickly - even though it was definitely not the warmest, sunniest summer I've experienced here. In fact it's been rainy and cloudy a lot!<br />

The fall is quite lovely and its cooler evenings mean that certain deliciously hearty and pastry-rich items feature back on the house menu.<br />

<b>plum & marzipan tarts</b><br />
makes 4 tarts<br />
<br />
<b>pastry</b><br />
<i>175g plain flour</i><br />
<i>80g butter, cold and cut into pieces</i><br />
<i>pinch of sea salt</i><br />
<i>1 tsp caster sugar</i><br />
<i>1 egg yolk (keep white aside)</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup cold water (you won't need it all)</i><br />
<br />
<b>filling</b><br />
<i>5-6 small plums, sliced</i><br />
<i>50g marzipan, cut into pieces</i><br />
<i>1/4 cup brown sugar</i><br />
<i>squeeze of lemon juice</i><br />
<i>1/2 tsp cinnamon</i><br />
<i>4 tsp honey</i><br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.<br />
To make the pastry: Sift dry ingredients into a bowl - using hands rub pieces of butter into the flour until mixture resembles sand. Mix in egg yolk and then bring mixture together by adding a bit of cold water (a little at a time) until it forms a ball. Wrap pastry in cling wrap and place in fridge 20-30 minutes.<br />
<br />
To make filling: mix plums, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon together. Keep aside.<br />
<br />
Take out pastry and with rolling pin roll out until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into appropriate sizes for tart cases (I used 15cm tart cases) and place into case carefully, pushing in all edges. Place into fridge 20 minutes. Take out lined cases, dock pastry and blind bake with beans/rice in oven for 10 minutes. Take out and let cool. Add pieces of marzipan to each case and add plum mixture, top each case with tsp of honey. Bake in oven about 45-50 minutes or until golden and plums are soft. Take out and let cool. Serve with cream or vanilla ice cream.

At this point, place water in a large pot to boil for pasta. Salt the water, add pasta and cook until al dente (about 11-12 minutes for wholemeal pasta). To finish the sauce, add peas and cook 2 minutes, then add cream, mace, salt and pepper to taste. Finish the sauce with fresh parsley and dried chili if desired.

Yum, I love parties.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCiIn1yl7tqZ-k6HzWzHyQxC6lwaRe2qHlRjt0FXD6w9cOwjEESIU5yy6M-Tp04MJOn2ij55zSf5JLkmEg83L41o4WkvdHXij5u_3Xh9WxYYvYKA8lEZ0QkN1PNwqbd2URp539kul0okRK/s1600/trashy+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: -1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCiIn1yl7tqZ-k6HzWzHyQxC6lwaRe2qHlRjt0FXD6w9cOwjEESIU5yy6M-Tp04MJOn2ij55zSf5JLkmEg83L41o4WkvdHXij5u_3Xh9WxYYvYKA8lEZ0QkN1PNwqbd2URp539kul0okRK/s1600/trashy+4.jpg" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
