I absolutely had to post this...! xd This is a recipe of a very strange looking Finnish dessert, a traditional Easter one. Quote: Mämmi (Currentlynoknownequivalenceinanyotherlanguage) This is one of those suspiciousnesses Finnish kansanomaisia jälkiruokia (ethnic dessert) that have to be taken trustingly. It's really good once you get over the appearance. 6 quarts water 1 lb. malt 3 lbs. rye flour molasses to taste 1-2 tsp. salt 4 Tbsp. chopped orange rind Mix the malt and flour. In a large cooking pan (with a heavy bottom if available), heat about 2 quarts of the water and add enough of the flour/malt mix to form a thin mixture (like velli). Sprinkle with a layer of malt and flour. Cover the pan and place in a warm place to sweeten, about one hour. Now mix the sprinkled flour and malt into the mixture. Add more hot water and again a layer of flour and malt. Leave to sweeten. Repeat as often as needed to include all remaining water, flour and malt. With the last addition, season the mämmi to taste with molasses and orange rind. Cook for about 10 mins., stirring constantly. Whip till cooled. Place in low pans (ah, to have those birch bark mämmituokkoset available). Do not fill too full, because mämmi will rise in the oven. Bake in moderate oven for about 1-2 hours. Temperatures that are too low during cooking and baking tend to make the mämmi bitter. Baked mämmi will be cooled quickly and served with cold cream and sugar. Hyvää ruokahalua!  I love this dessert myself but I eat it usually without anything. And I didn't know you could cook this by yourself at home.... sweatdrop (I'll be right back after I've found the recipe for tippaleipä... ninja ) EDIT: If anyone is interested in Finnish dishes here's more link to recipes heart : Recipes found at Virtual FinlandFinnish dishes at RecipeSourceRecipes at Kutri's KitchenAnd a long list of links for recipes of Finnish food at Canadian Friends of Finland.Yay for Google. xd

Firewolfblue spanishnerd99 Are you a culinary expert, Elisa? smile Well, I'm sure you're better than me! And I come from a family with a big culinary passion. My father is an excellent cook and my mother, too. My younger sister loves it...Food Network is our house's most-watched channel. But me, forget about it! I couldn't cook to save myself from starving! My mother keeps saying I should start observing if I want to be a good cook for my future family. But I don't know, some aspects interest me and others don't. confused

Simple pasta sauce with linguini: doable. Chicken fajitas: doable. Paella: unfortunately not doable.

Chicken fajitas question Yes, it's quite complex, I love to eat it though! Chicken fajitas are made up of grilled chicken, peppers and onions with torillas and other toppings. At restaurants, they serve them to you on a skillet. It's sort of an Americanized-Mexican dish, but I love it too! biggrin

Since I haven't posted in here for quite a while now, here is a white chocolate chip cookie recipe I just tried out last week. My cookies didn't turn out that great, but this weekend I will try again and I'm sure they'll be better and more like the American kind of chocolate chip cookie! Quote: White Chocolate Chip CookiesServings: 60
Categories: Chocolate / Cookies / Desserts Ingredients:1 cup butter, softened 2 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup shortening 4 eggs 3 teaspoon vanilla 6 cups all-purpose flour 1 Pinch salt 2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup white chocolate chips Directions:Preheat oven to 350F. In large bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugars, Crisco all-vegetable shortening, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour, salt and baking soda. Beat at low speed until soft dough forms. Fold in macadamia nuts and white chocolate pieces with a spoon. Space heaping tablespoons of cookie dough 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten cookie dough with the back of a spoon. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Proudly_Jewish I was in Italy this summer, and I must say that the cuisine there was absolutely delicious. smile Then again, macarnoi/spaghetti is my all-time favourite food, so maybe I'm a bit biased sweatdrop really? I went to venice during fall break, and i must say that italians don't know how to serve pizza. xp
