Hero Recruitment

May I introduce some more Heroes on this rainy 4th of July here in Ghent? … Well I will do it anyway.

Let’s start with aandekook.be, another Dutch blog writing on nothing but food. Mmm. I like food! Cheesecake recipes, baking your own bread, you name it, you find it.

Next we have Titeca’s Webpalet. Karel is an IT consultant at the University of Leuven, writing on his personal life, seems to love google, hates topposting and will be daddy soon!

Yesterday, on a lazy Sunday stroll, I bought the amazing "Il Cucchiaio d’Argento" in the infamous Sterling Bookshop in Brussels (sterling as in pound sterling; it is the only bookshop I know that actually sells at the price you see printed on the cover – which turns out to be cheap).

"The Silver Spoon" is the ultimate Italian cookbook, first published in 1950. It contains over 2.000 recipes, not too many photos and is very clear on all the basic stuff (sauces, stocks, …). The english translation is available from Phaidon.

It is very extensive and contains recipes for a very wide range of ingredients (even 9 recipes for cervella ~ brains). You can browse by vegetable, fish and meat variety, and find individual recipes that you can put together in a menu.

It leaves a lot of room for your own imagination, as it only presents independent recipes for a basic ingredient, and only sometimes suggests what could go together with what.

Each page contains 2 to 3 recipes, with a separate list of ingredients and a very clear description of what you have to do. Not too strict, but with more than enough information. A nice detail is that the english translation also contains the Italian names of the recipes.

Yesterday, I tried the pork with oranges. Today the Costolette alla Villeroy and the Zucchine Capricciose. I love it.
One day (only one), I will make some stuff for my dear colleagues…
