    Supa de peste ca la Szeged (Szegedi Halaszle) – Hungarian fish soup

    For English version scroll down Fara nici un dubiu aceasta este supa mea preferata de peste si cine a avut norocul sa incerce versiunea la fata locului,adica in Szeged,stie de ce. Desi mi-ar fi placut sa prepar supa cu peste proaspat,a trebuit sa folosesc peste congelat. Folositi boia de calitate ,eu am folosit boia de ardei Kotanyi si v-o recomand si voua. Ingrediente:1  ceapa alba 1 kg macrou (sau orice alt de fel de peste disponibil) 1  cartof1 ardei verde sau rosu1 lingura boia de ardei dulce Kotanyi1/4 lingurita boia de ardei iute1 lingura pasta de tomate sare si piperSe curata pestii , se scot maruntaiele si se taie capetele,apoi pestii se taie in bucati.Se spala bine sub jet de apa rece.Se curata cartoful…

    Supa crema de morcov – Cream of carrot soup

    For English version scroll down Prima reteta incercata de mine din retetarul de la cursul de bucatar a fost aceasta,noutatea a constat ca am respectat toata reteta,va si dau ingredientele pentru 10 portii,exact cum am gasit-o in cartea instructoarei. Cateva observatii: nu a predominat nici un gust,toate ingredientele s-au imbinat perfect,de aceea trag si concluzia ca nu sunt puse la intamplare cantitatile si imi sustin si mai tare conceptia ca bucataria este un laborator si arta de a gati, o stiinta. Daca vreti retete facute cu dragoste sau pentru gospodine,nu le veti gasi la mine,experimentele insa sunt din belsug.Am respectat cantitatile si am cantarit toate ingredientele,mai putin sarea. Cu aceasta…

Am de recuperat din articolele lui,el umbla fix pe unde n-am ajuns eu! Am urcat pentru prima oara intr-un avion,asta dupa ce mi-am tarat ditamai valiza dupa mine.

    Kkak doo gi – Kimchi cu ridiche alba – Radish Kimchi

    For English version scroll down Ca am mai incercat sa fac kimchi stiti deja,dar fara gochugaru ,pudra de ardei iute, nu prea se poate obtine un kimchi autentic,deci pot spune ca acesta este un ingredient esential. Nu pot sa merg mai departe fara a va descrie mai pe indelete gochugaru. Dedesupt este o poza facuta la muzeul satului traditional de langa Seoul si astfel arata ardeii iuti din care se face pudra,dar de fapt nu este chiar atat de marunta,mai degraba sunt facuti fulgi.  In privinta gustului,poate o sa fiti putin surprinsi,dar sa stiti ca nu este atat de iute pe cat va imaginati,daca inmuiati un deget in pudra si-l puneti pe…
