| Singapore cuisine |

Singapore is the busiest port in the world, in a strategic location, and is also a most busy city, a unique mosaic society.
Wherever you go in Singapore you’ll see its name associated with the word “unique”: Uniquely Singapore describes perfectly well Singapore’s identity. Singapore is a rich contrast of old and new, of flavors from the cultures that build it: China, Malaysia, India, and of course, the Peranakan culture (Pernakan means “locally born”). Singapore’s cuisine reflects this unique cultural diversity.

Here is the recipe for 'Pia's choc and cranberry cookies'. This recipe comes from my recent times in Vancouver, Canada. Canadians are such warm and welcoming people, and one of the things I love when visiting my family there is that there is always a cookie jar filled with delicious homemade cookies. I have now picked up the tradition in my own home and make sure my cookie jar is full when guests stay. These cookies are always a hit, and they make a great snack for travellers or people on the go. They are full of goodness and can be best described as a mini-muesli bar - dainty enough to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee but hearty enough for packing in your lunch bag as an afternoon snack.
When it comes to writing snack recipes I like to try to keep wheat and sugar to a minimum as I feel we eat so much of it in our western diets that it is nice to have a break from it in snacks like these. So, you will notice there is no wheat and very little sugar in these cookies...
Assemble:
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter, stirring to combine. Remove from the heat.
In a bowl combine the sugars and salt. Stir this into the peanut butter mixture. Using the same bowl beat the eggs and vanilla. Stir into the peanut butter mixture.
In a large bowl combine the oats, pecans, currants and cranberries. Stir into the peanut butter mixture.
With slightly wet hands, mold small amounts of the mixture (about one tablespoon in size) into round balls and flatten slightly. Place on a flat pan covered with baking paper. Cook for about 15 minutes at 180C (until nicely golden). Meanwhile melt the chocolate pieces in the microwave or stove top method until smooth. Remove the cookies from the oven and while they cool on a wire rack, spoon small amounts of the melted chocolate over each cookie. Place the rack of cookies in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set before placing them into the cookie jar. Enjoy!

Des
anecdotes sur a la nourriture
|
|
Tout
cela est très personnel, je mets ici au fil de l'eau
ce qui me vient en premier.
CARACU parce que j'adore l'os à moelle d'une part et
j'adore le nom d'autre part... j'en mange toujours en pensant
a maman!
TORREJAS parce que maman en faisait tout le temps avec le reste
du riz ou bien des épinards... et du coup je le fais
aussi, bien que ce ne soit pas particulièrement léger
ni digeste.... et surtout je passe mon temps a oublier le nom
et a chercher durant des mois ce mot a nouveau!!!!!!
GNOCCHIS... parce que Stella les fait en 15 secondes top chrono
pour une table de 20 personnes. "Es tan facil!"...
according to her!
ARROZ CON LECHE... me quiero casar... impossible de commencer
sans chanter cette comptine infantile...
SORBET A LA GOYAVE: fruit fabuleux et sorbet fait par maman
en Egypte... quand j'y pense, toute l'Egypte revient à
moi! Et pourtant, je ne peux qu'y penser... car j'ai essayé
de reconstituer ce goût et il n'y a rien à faire...
je ne le retrouve pas... alors je le garde dans mes souvenirs!
CAMEMBERT - SAUCISSON: spécialité de mon père
qu'il fallait lui ramener pour le rendre heureux quand on habitait
en Egypte!
