When Joey announced she'd be hosting this round of Hay Hay it's Donna Day! (HHDD), I promised her I'd join in. I always enjoyed seeing the entries to the past rounds that the thought of joining in the fun crossed my mind a few times. But like with other food events (I've only managed one Lasang Pinoy round), I worry about committing and then not meeting the deadline. And although we're given more
When you are sealed you start to take care of the health of your body. One thing you can do to prevent and cure a variety of ailments is to take a little reishi mushroom, an Asian mushroom with incredible health benefits.The University of Haifa in Israel reported on Friday December 14 2007 that the reishi mushroom can be used to fight prostate cancer. They found that the reishi mushroom "attacks the cancer cells directly."The reishi mushroom, Ganoderma Lucidum, was a rarity found only in the wild until only the last quarter of a century when the Japanese have been able to cultivate them as a crop.The University of Haifa says the reishi mushroom gives hope that a medication will be developed out of it that could fight prostate cancer. Fighting cancer is just one in a long list of health benefits the mushroom offers.Called Ling Zhi in China, the reishi mushroom has been an important medicinal plant for the Asians for millennia. In the wild it grows upon rotting plum trees and only occasi
Mushroom on Crostini with RicottaContinuing in my series of xmas party foods, I present another simple, delicate creation. Mushrooms on crostini with ricotta. Crostini are basically pieces of sliced bread that have been toasted. You can use a baguette to do this and each piece is perfect for your guests to pick up with their fingers. You can also get creative with the toppings. Just be mindful about flavours and not sticking too many items on the toasts. I use sourdough for my crostini because I love the flavour of that bread. For the mushrooms I make a basil paste in the food processor by whizzing up a bunch of basil leaves with some olive oil and a little garlic. The mushrooms I use are a combination of swiss brown,button and shitake. I fry them in a mixture of olive oil and butter and add the basil paste at the end. The mushrooms take on a different character once they have been married with the basil paste. They get all glossy, shiny and sexy! And you should smell them!

MIXED MUSHROOM & GOAT CHEESE Ingredients8 oz mushrooms (I used an equal mix of Shiitake, Cremini, and Chanterelle)2 tbsp unsalted butter1 small onion, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary2 tbsp finely chopped chives1 tsp finely ground long pepper¼ tsp fleur de sel6 oz goat cheeseMethod1. Cut the mushroom caps in half and then into ¼ inch slices (throw the stems in the green bin). 2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Just as it begins to brown add the onions and garlic. When they get soft (around 4 minutes) add the fresh sage, rosemary, and long pepper. Stir and give these aromatics time to meet and mingle, just a couple of minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and let them get all wilted (5-6 minutes), they’ll reduce in size and but get concentrated in flavour, especially with those herbs.3. Crumble the goat cheese in a medium bowl and pour the mushroom mix on top. Stir together so that the cheese melts.
Here's a little break from all the protein I've been featuring from my last trip. This is a recipe that was inspired by BBC's Good Food 101 Veggie Dishes. I needed something new for my office baon (packed lunch), a change from my usual. I was growing a bit tired of grilled chicken (served with our ever-growing collection of condiments in the office), my usual salad brought from home, or any one
As promised, here is the recipe for the mushroom pasta I made yesterday for lunch using the fabulous hunk of cheese I bought at the markets . On a lazy Saturday afternoon, the last thing you want to do is linger too long in the kitchen. Now, this pasta is so simple and so easily modified that I don't even know if I should provide you a recipe. You could almost make it up as you go, I did. But here it goes. I used the regular swiss brown mushrooms you can find at any supermarket for this dish as that is what I had in the fridge, but really you can use any mushroom you want. If I were to make this again, I am imagining some porcini, chanterelles, oysters, or if you happen to be very lucky or loaded, you can lace the pasta with shavings of fresh truffle. Divine.You can't tell from the picture above but the sauce becomes a beautiful seafoam green and is quite runny in consistency. The taste is quite strong because of the gorgonzola, and if you don't want such a prominent cheese taste then
This fun guy (fungi) is a Mexican coffee bean farmer near the border with Guatemala. His farm has grown these gigantic mushrooms in the hope of finding the secret that will enable them to grow large coffee bean plants. They are 70cm in height and weigh 20Kg. If it doesn’t work out, they can always use them as novelty umbrellas?

Swedish meatballs are one of the best-known Swedish cooking specialties. However, there are so many recipes. Almost all meatball recipes call for some type of extender such as mashed potatoes, rolled oats or breadcrumbs. Less expensive items than meat. My mother ground very well trimmed meat (ab. 300-400 g) in a hand turned meat grinder. She even used to make her own breadcrumbs. She took 4 crisprolls and crushed them with a bottle between two layers of paper. Then the crumbs were soaked in 1 coffeecup of milk for a while to make a crumb paste. Salt, pepper, grated onion and 1 egg yolk were the other ingredients.My meatballs are a lot easier to make. [The recipe can also be used for patties]. Cook and taste one meatball before you bother forming the rest.INGREDIENTS:* 400 g ground meat (ab. 90 % beef + 10% pork)* 2 teaspoons potato starch* ½ dl (50 ml) milk* 1 - 1 ½ teaspoon salt* ½ - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper* 1 egg* butterMETHOD:1. Mix the ground meat with egg, salt,
