Fusion Cuisine - Arroz con Guandú et Chicken stir-fry

Arroz con Guandú is a traditional dish in Panama.I made this dish for the first time just like the Panamanian do.I do want to make it again but jazz it up a little bit, I am sure you can give it some more life, but even the traditional version was very tasty.
I was also in the mood to stir-fry.I love stir-frying anything, playing with the wok is a lot of fun and all those colours really give me a wonderful feeling. I made some chicken seasoned with salt and black pepper, a pinch of hoisin sauce, some veggies,and roasted sesame seed oil to stir-fry.

It was delicious!!!

Steak au Poivre Avec Salade Niçoise - C'est parfait!

I guess somedays I just feel like going French all the way.The grestest thing about French food is that it's easy to make, you use ingredients that you don't have to go searching high and low, they're so common.J'aime bien la cuisine Française!
To kick off my dinner I made this wonderful Salad from Nice.Salade Niçoise is always a thrill, you can build it up any way you want.Love it!








As a main course I decided to make my version of Steak au Poivre.I decided to change the sauce, I made some wonderful French Béarnaise Sauce and used it on top of my steak.It was to die for!

Banana-fruitcake for Breakfast

Eggs? bacon? pancake with syrup? Noooo!! Just some fresh home-made Banana-fruitcake to kick off the day!

Shrimp Canapes

Sometimes you just feel like indulging yourself to some wonderful shrimp canapes.And that was just what I needed to pamper myself and feel good about life again.

Kao Phad - Thai Fried Rice

I love Thailand and its wonderful, colourful and tasty dishes.
The coolest thing about this dish is that you can use your own veggies and make it according to your taste, lots of versions of it!

Moqueca Brasileira - Brazilian Bouillabaisse

This is a wonderful fish dish very common in Brazil.You can use all sorts of fish and shellfish to make it.Also, we use this Brazilian oil called Azeite de Dendê.You won't find it any place else, but in Brazil.It's got a unique flavour, colour, fragancy and texture to it.It's quite important to make it by using a clay pan and wood stove.
I could have it everyday and wouldn't get bored!

Caçarola - traditional Brazilian dessert dish

Caçarola is a wonderful and easy-to-make Brazilian dessert.All you need is some flour, sugar, eggs, milk and some Parmigiano-Reggiano.I decided to jazz it up by making a warm cherry sauce to top it with.
It was so delicious!

Kassler and Mustard à l'ancienne

I do love the flavour on these wonderful German smoked kasslers, you really don't need to season them at all, grill 'em or cook 'em in the oven and they're ready for bites.
I played with them a little bit and made them somewhat differently.Onion ring, red pepper ring, some Teriyaki sauce, some butter and a slice of fresh pineapple.Wrap them up in aluminum foil and pop them in the oven.
As a side dish I wanted something quite French.I made this sauce using some Mustard à l'ancienne, butter and high quality white wine, I boiled some potatoes and sautéed them in that wonderful sauce.

Summer Salad

Summer Salad is a great solution for someone who wants to eat well and a lot.The wonderful Mexican Salsa Fresca combined with chives and a secret sauce made out of coconut milk really dresses this salad quite well.Plus some cubed fresh mango adds a lot more flavour and colour to this dish.And to make sure it really tastes good, I added some grilled spicy shrimp on the side - Grab a bite!

Pollo Picatta

Chicken Picatta was my supper, lovely taste, wonderful sauce and very easy to make!
