For this recipe first, you will need a supply of persimmons from *vuon ong hang` xom'* :-) or farmers markets as it's best to pick them slighty soft - ripe and with a bit of branch to tie them up like Christmas ornaments. Second, you'll need a LOT of patience because it will take the persimmons[...]]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:12:00 +0100 6e6eada3c549252a6a0bd7346dfff0ce Desserts http://kikonepu.over-blog.com/article-dried-persimmon-101512303-comments.html#anchorComment http://kikonepu.over-blog.com/article-article-sans-titre-95287489.html
With Christmas cooking done and a bunch of Yuzu limes on my hands, I decided to make some Yuzugettes and mendiants to wrap up a good first year for my little Yuzus.

Brined and everything ... First lesson learned: check to make sure that the turkey is 'fresh' and not injected with saline solution before brining Second lesson learned: defrost the turkey at least a day before brining and if bought fresh there is no need to put it in the freezer ... duh!

This is my first 'Vin Chaud' and I am so glad I finally made it! Even with the left over on the second day, I can 'smell' the bouquet and the orange/lemon taste super while the vin chaud over ice is just as delicious :-) INGREDIENTS: - 2 bottles of wine (150ml) - 150 gr brown sugar - 1 lemon[...]]]> Sun, 25 Dec 2011 21:50:00 +0100 5778e32d4be116db7ab5bc648b3acd0a Drinks http://kikonepu.over-blog.com/article-vin-chaud-94773758-comments.html#anchorComment http://kikonepu.over-blog.com/article-spinach-salad-a-ma-facon-70625247.html
This has become my signature salad because ... I make it just about once a week. :-) Ingredients: - 6 cups Spinach ( I like the leaves to be a bit thicker so no baby spinach please) - 1 fuji apple (preferably organic, if not peel the thick/glossy skin please) - 1/2 cup cheese grated ( I like[...]]]> Wed, 30 Mar 2011 22:46:00 +0200 d2e2435af3f8075837e5b13dbee82668 Salads http://kikonepu.over-blog.com/article-spinach-salad-a-ma-facon-70625247-comments.html#anchorComment http://kikonepu.over-blog.com/article-bo-luc-lac-a-la-slanted-door-49318089.html
This is adapted from chef Phan's recipe from the famous Slanted Door SF. Instead of serving the 'shaking beef' with the traditional cresson salad and salt and pepper dip, I served it on a bed of mache also known as corn salad, rapunzel, field salad, or lamb’s lettuce.

I love allrecipes.com, really. I've tried a few of the recipes there and they all turned out as expected, i.e. really good - that is if you picked the recipes with the most and highest ratings :-) This is 'adapted' to make it less sweet and enough for two.
