That's a true sign of a good cook !!!
I don't eat anywhere that has a SKINNY cook.
Then come here for dinner - fat cook (me) and I made a huge dinner tonight. Lots of left-overs because it was not so good. (normailly everyone loves my cooking). DH and I decided we would try vegetarian and fish dishes from around the the world once a week. Got out my Moosewood cookbook, and it starts with Africa ... apparently none of us likes African food. Sure smells good, but taste is not so good.
West African Peanut soup - onions, ginger, chili peepers, carrots, yams, veggie stock ... saute and blend then add peanut butter and lots of V-8 in an attempt to thin it out, garnish with chives. I managed to make 1 cup of peanut butter expand to 10 cups of spicy peanut butter .... that is all I could taste, and it was nearly as thick!
C???? (somewhere in southern Senegal) Stew - fish marinated with onions, chili pepper, lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce ... then grill the fish, saute the onions with red bell peppers and yams, served over rice (served over millet, but we have none).
Salad - cabbage, carrots, pineapple. dressing: lemon huice, orange juice oil - no one was willing to even try this - still in the fridge.
Good thing is I managed to use up much of the vegetables in this weeks CSA box...
I would try the salad. It sounds good to me. But the soup sounds not so good. lol I would try the fish for sure too.
