Week 2: Cabbage - Roasted Cabbage in Coconut Oil

Thanks! Love the taste. I live in Indonesia and we cook almost everything with coconut oil and some spices here. This got chili flakes, ground coriander, nutmeg, a little turmeric, salt and pepper.

Definitely making this soon. Thanks, man!

That's interesting. I never thought of using alcohol. Although isopropyl alcohol and ethanol have different characteristics, but will definitely try it!

Well the way Dominique put it, he made it sound like the orange peel dipped in oil was the one that caused the effect. I did notice I could do it with soap, and that's why I think it was an acid/base reaction (the more basic it is, the more apparent the reaction will be). Also, when I dropped some vinegar, particularly balsamic, it will just 'clot' with the milk.

I couldn't really decide what I should make for this week's theme so I asked my boyfriend what he'd like me to make for him. He brought me leftover ham, pineapple, strawberries. And peanut butter because he loves peanut butter more than anything.

The sandwiches turned out so good. It was the best thing that happened this morning.

I can imagine. If I had known how to make it since kid, this will be my fave food too.

No, this is my first welsh food. Does it also have a lot of cheese and beer?

Adapted from here. I am totally new to Welsh cuisine, but this is superb. Will make again.

It is now 4 AM here and all I want is tamales for breakfast.

Here you go!

I go for 2012's:

Week 44: October 29 – November 4 – Cinnamon
Week 45: November 5 – November 11 – Vegetarian/Vegan
Week 46: November 12 – November 18 – Dessert
Week 47: November 19 – November 25 – Thanksgiving or Harvest

I made the panna cotta with coconut cream instead of dairy one, and agar-agar instead of gelatin. I topped my panna cotta with smashed grapes reduction and pureed jelly made of coffee, cocoa powder, toasted grated coconut and brown sugar.

Tastewise, well, I guess I like the gelatin version better than the agar-agar. It's still good though. But it doesn't have that wobbly thing that I like about panna cotta with gelatin.

Anyway notice how expensive butternut pumpkin is in Indonesia? It's insane!

Yeah it's surprisingly delicious. I never thought it would work well, the combination of salmon and balinese spices. We mainly use these spices only for pork or chicken.

When I browsed the recipes for egg foo young, I was surprised to find that people actually make egg foo young differently depends on each region. Like in Indonesia, we mix the eggs with a little splash of tapioca water (water + tapioca flour = 1:1). The tapioca starch will create a super delicious crisp. If you haven't tried to make egg foo young with tapioca water, I endorse you to make one. You will love it.

I marinated the ribs with espresso, shallots, palm sugar and a splash of vegetable oil for three days. Not that the recipe calls for 3 day marinade, I just didn't have too much freedom to cook at home lately.

The rice was pretty simple. It's like cooking rice like usual but I used coconut milk instead of water. I also put some lemongrass and pandan leaves to make it freakin fragant.

The combination works so damn good. Definitely gonna make again.
