I totally love cooking, although I can't do much without a recipe

Some days I get cooking crazy, I once spent like 6 hours just cooking and cooking all different kinds of dishes, I ate them all! Haha.

Spent my entire evening in the kitchen, at work.. So I cooked a lot, but too bad I couldn't eat it, work, right?

Soo.. What did I do tonight? Kalimare (if I spell it right), salads, gyros, rice and red rice, fish, and stuff like that. Must say it looked and smelled pretty good (A)

I make some fine cereal.

But really, I can cook all sorts of things in the oven and stove...but being vegetarian, I don't get the chance to cook for the 'rents because they're meat eaters.

My favourite detox foods are:

Lentil soup ( green lentils, that ones that become brown after cooking - with onions and garlic, olive oil I put potatoes in it too, I think it's a good combination; served with vinegar of course; a classic Greek dish - takes half an hour to make )

Miso soup, classic Japanese ( my quickie would be with rice noodles and shiitake mushrooms, spring onions - a better choice might be to replace the noodles with different vegetables - potatoes, carrots, courgettes, etc )
Use the miso paste in the last stage of the preparation and remember not to boil it - it will lose its nutricious value that way - not to mention its taste ).

Brown rice ( ok, this is not quite a "detox" food - cause I use red pesto, feta cheese and I top it with sundried tomatoes - adding spring onions as well will give it a special touch ).
But you can make it using the vegetables of your choice..only it comes a little bit blunt like that. I haven't tried the red rice yet.

Rocket+radish+watercress - they're all from the same family and have similar "spicy" flavours - gives a special touch in salads - so does spring onion ( I like it, don't I? )

Steamed broccoli + cauliflower florets as salad - that's very fast to make and a classic detox food

and finally:

green tea as a substitute to normal tea or coffee. It goes well with a hint of lemon.

Yes yes yes!!! Tea is the best thing in the world. Regular tea, green tea, green tea with lemon, green tea with mint flavour, red tea, white tea, fruit tea, vanilla etc. etc.... Nothing out there better than tea.

spyretto · 10-03-2007, 18:37

Even tea with peppercorns?

My night to cook a few days ago, and I made Greek food (again). Spaghetti with what they call "Sucadelapjes" (kind of meat, don't know about the english word), and that was served in a sauce made of Red wine, tomato's, and onions. Even my brother loved it and he hardly eats anything.

Talyubittu · 11-03-2007, 22:54

Then add coffee, and then crush the Hazlenuts

cup..then wait for it to cool down a bit..unless u want
to burn ur tounge..but yeah..
Thats how u make Hazlenut Coffee
