Another cliche - another masterpiece

Saturday, 15 November 2008

I really don't know how we create miracles. We just do it. And because it happens so often, it might sounds like a cliche. But its true - we did another masterpiece!

Banitsa is the Bulgaruan response of the Italian Lasagne. I don't want to say something arrogant, because I deeply respect the kitchen of the Boot (especially pizza), but our banitsa is more tasty.

When you eat banitsa, you feel the nobility of the Bulgarian culinary genius and the wisdom of many generations of Bulgarians who grew up with that perfect food - a combination of the best pastry ever made (of course from Bulgarian grains), the unique eggs of the hens (happy to live under our warm sun), the aromatic butter of the sheeps (the smartest in the world) and the proud white cheese of the local cows (makers of the best milk in the world, the Swiss are behind them)! The people who eat banitsa are predisposed to feats, victories and achievements in every field of the life.

Home made banitsa

I bet that John Atanasoff created the first computer because his father brought the gene of Banitsa-lover in the genetic code of of his ancestors.

My mother cuts to pieces

That evening with my parents we mad that one and only masterpiece. I didn't have time to make photos during the process (my hands were dirty). Now I share with you the result and I run to eat. Bye :)

Enthusiastic Salad

Tuesday, 28 October 2008

Some ignorant people might think that I'm a man who doesn't feel the need to be a cook. That opinion is totally not true and I'll prove it right here and right now! Yes, as a conservative person I do believe that there're some typical masculine activities like drinking rakiya and watching football. Also thare're some natural waman deeds like the longtime shoping. Yes, I proclaim that every frog must knows its pool!
Making food is an act of creativity for every real man. Dear readers, I'm a Creator!
In my family the men are very passionate about the good food. We love eating, but we love cooking too!

Grated turnip and carrots, decorated with olives

This evening I bought few turnips and carrots. I peeled these vegetables and I grated them in two separated cups. Then a put some salt on the turnip and after few minutes I squeezed the stinging juice. Then I mixed the carrots and the turnip, I added oil and vinegar. Finally I decorated the salad with olives.
The result was "Mmmmmmm"!

Sunday morning with pancakes

Sunday, 5 October 2008

The good pancake is a real poem, a song full with joy.

This morning I woke up and I smelled the sweetness of pancakes oozing through the stairs and permeating the room.
I like these sunday mornings, when my family have more free time. Among my mother's specialities are the pancakes and the fried slices with eggs.

Sunday breakfast

Can I dеscribe the gladness of my hungry soul and body when I saw my Sunday breakfast on the table in the kitchen? It will be hard. So I'll limit my story, sharing with you this photo. A delight for my eyes!
Few pancakes, three pieces of cheese, a cup of yoghurt, a little cup of huney... New culinary record of my mother. Enjoy!
