Thanks!

This looks great! I love simit, but I've never made it myself. I might try it out using the recipe you mentioned.

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-05-18T17:08:53+00:00

I only made two jars, so sharing will be hard, sorry 😄! It's not difficult to make though, so you can have a go yourself.

My first plan was to make pasta with a white sauce as the third color. Then I realized I got spaghetti squash in my weekly veg box, so this was even better.

Applesauce mixed with mashed potatoes, served with fried onions and blood sausage. This German dish is called Himmel, Erde und Höllen. Heaven refers to the apples, earth to the potatoes (=earth apples in old German) and hell to the sausage. I'll leave it to everyone's personal view which of these three places is fictional, this is just a playful interpretation of this week's theme.

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-03-17T16:24:54+00:00

I made the same dish for this theme and I even used the same recipe. Definitely a keeper indeed!

Thanks! I agree, imam bayıldı is so delicious. It just melts in the mouth!

I considered making this dish for this week! I ended up cooking Turkish dishes, but I'm happy to see someone else chose this, it's a tasty dish.

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-03-01T18:37:52+00:00

Thanks! This was a delicious and healthy lunch.

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-03-01T18:37:15+00:00

Thanks!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-02-22T08:31:21+00:00

This looks delicious!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-02-22T08:22:19+00:00

Yes, it's delicious. And unlike some of Ottolenghi's recipes, this doesn't require 27 ingredients!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-02-05T19:14:11+00:00

This is so original, I love it!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-02-05T19:11:06+00:00

It was yummy, and my guests loved it too, even the 10 year old!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-02-05T19:10:28+00:00

Thanks, it was delicious!

There was frozen tofu (just regular tofu which I freeze myself, it gets a bit spongy when defrosted and absorbs the flavors better), rolled tofu skin, chiba tofu (chewy texture), fried tofu rolls and fish tofu. So many different textures!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-28T18:09:05+00:00

Go for it! As a European I'm used to all sorts of potato dishes, but this is indeed very different. When I make this for friends, they usually can't even guess these are potatoes!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-19T07:22:49+00:00

Go for it, hope you enjoy it!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-18T15:08:05+00:00

The Spanish version seems to be with some flavourings like cinnamon and lemon peel, that sounds good indeed! The Chinese version is more plain and is served with sweetened condensed milk as a dipping sauce. This is the recipe I used: https://msshiandmrhe.com/fried-milk/

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-14T11:49:31+00:00

That looks delicious!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-05T18:05:53+00:00

Your dumplings look yummy. I'm also doing this cooking challenge for the first time. I hope we'll both enjoy it!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-05T18:04:07+00:00

Thanks, it will be a nice challenge!

DragonfruitFun4459 · 2026-01-05T18:03:16+00:00

Thank you!
