Baking and Grilling- Our new interests

We have been regulars at the French Bakery at Landmarks and may be all these trips ignited a desire in us to explore and learn more on making and grilling.

Shenna loves it and that truely is the inspiration.

Also, baking and grilling help in minimising the oil used, we can cook the fish and meat using the oil in them!

Also, cooking is fast and hassle free, doent require too much personal attention once the stuff is put in the oven.

Thus, one sunday morning, about a month back we started the jouney.

I did some research on the net and went on to make Chiken Ala king. It came out decent enough so that we got more confidence to continue experimenting and exploring.

Can now say that we love the Chiken ala kind we make at our home from the day we started using Chiken stock for the white sauce, there's no sustitute for it.

The Chiken in the Chiken ala king can be replaced with vegetables and it becomes vegetable in white sauce, equally delightfull to savour.

We have also baked sweet potato with black pepper and olive oil, tasted quite nice as a snack.

Grill mushrooms with balsamic vinegar, black pepper and salt, make the dish with some onion and cucumber and you have what we call grilled mushroom salad. Shenna polished off the full plate we made and that told us that we got his seal of approval!

We have got enough confidence to try a greek dish of grilled sole fish. We marinated the sole fish with garlic, salt, pepper and lime. The added some olive oil and parley to it and grilled at 190oC for about two minutes. It tasted nice and Dons loved it. Im still not completely happy about it and wanted to do it again with some dil, it needed to be spiced up some more.

Pity, forgot to take the pictures!

Well, we will make mushroom and eggplant in tomato sauce today evening. Again, have done research but I have few variations in mind.

Watch this space!
