... I lose myself in the wealth of recipes out there, thinking, "damn, I want to cook more often, and more elaborately, than I currently do."
I'd like to try the recipe tantalisingly referred to here (the first one, the one that's only mentioned, not described in detail), and this carrot and ginger soup sounds awesome, too, and there are about a million varieties of quiche I'd like to try (I've never made a quiche yet!), and I'd like to try this lentil and chestnut soup, too, and not just because it's a recipe that Methos seems to be fond of (if only I knew where to get the required frozen chestnuts - I love chestnuts, but I'm not sure you can buy them in that particular form here), and I'd really like to try making this soba dish, which I ate and loved in Cardiff a few years ago - but I don't know where to get (or how to make) dried shallots, and they were rather essential to the combination of tastes that made the dish so great...
I'd also like to try my hand at some ridiculously complicated cakes (basically, stuff with lots and lots and lots of different layers), sometime, but I'm kind of scared of that.

Date: 2010-02-08 09:46 am (UTC)Ich suche nur noch da, weil mir schon einige dieser Rezeptseiten Trojaner und ähnlichen Mist einschläusen wollten.
Esskastanien gibt es inzwischen eigentlich fast überall, momentan zumindest. Habe ich sogar bei ALDI gesehen letzte Woche.
Jep, die Seite kenne ich.
Date: 2010-02-08 03:17 pm (UTC)Ja, wo man frische Maronen kriegt, weiß ich - aber für die Suppe braucht man welche, die quasi schon vorgekocht sind. Klar, ich kann auch welche frisch kaufen und dann erst kochen und schälen, bevor sie in die Suppe kommen, aber das ist so mühselig... und das Kochen scheitert bei mir sowieso schon so oft daran, daß ich nicht den Nerv/die Zeit habe. :-(
Na ja, muß ich mal nachforschen. Irgendwo gibt's sowas bestimmt. Oben schreibt mir K. ja schon, daß Alnatura sowas manchmal hat.
Hab gestern noch ein Rezept für Rote Beete-Wasabi-Suppe gefunden... das muß ich auch mal ausprobieren, vor allem, da ich vor kurzem aus Versehen mal Wasabi gekauft und nicht gebraucht hab - und rausgefunden habe, daß Rote Beete richtig lecker sein kann.

Date: 2010-02-09 07:07 pm (UTC)solche habe ich aber auch schon im supermarkt gesehen. hm... aber nutzt ja nix, wenn es die hier gibt. oder ich weiß, wo man sie her bekommt.
