Cooking is Passion.
I was probably born with a predisposition for lovingfood passed down by poverty stricken post WWII family cooks. My blurred childhood memories revolve around table set with food, foraged through clever explorations and deep personal connections.
Sounds stange
In 2017 people cannot imagine that not so long ago, my home country, was so poor that the only food items on the super market shelves were salt and vinegar.
People became very creative with very little and created interesting meals for their families.
No one ever taught me how to cook. But everyone always cooked in my house and it just rubbed off.
The easiest and the nutritious food in the world is food that has been simply preparedyes it is great to use traditional techniques that require hours of baking but alfresco food is so yummy and totally simple to make.
These two recipes could be side dishes to your meaty main or simple vegetarian toppings for your rice or pasta or whateverthis is delicious on bread or toastI used it last weekend on my home made pizzas.
