I have been wanting to try out this recipe for the longest time. Firstly because the recipe looked friendly and easy; secondly because the cookies looked so interesting and convincing. A coffee bean cookie. Coffee beans. What else can I ask for but a cookie that tastes and looks like my favourite beverage?
This is a very simple recipe to follow, which makes the weekend a lot easier and comfortable. Imagine waking up a nice tray of piping hot muffins right out of the oven. Mmmm…..
Rösti is a popular dish among many regardless of whether one has been to Switzerland or not. It is a French name, originating from the French canton of Bern in Switzerland. It came from the Swiss farmers as a dish made of grated potatoes, simply pan-fried and served with other sides such as bacon slices, eggs , sausages or salad.
This is a Eurasian style stew, cooked with chicken, loads of vegetables and quite a bit of spices. If you like the taste of spice, this dish is made for you. But if not, stay away. It can be served either with rice or bread, or by itself as a meal on its own too, with its protein and carbo packed ingredients.
Take a Salmond, and cut him rounde, chyne and all, and roste the pieces on a gredire;
And take wyne, and pouder of Canell, and drawe it thorgh a streynour;
And take smale myced oynons, and caste there-to, and let him boyle;
And then take vynegre or vergeous, and pouder ginger, and cast there-to;
and then ley the samon in a dissh, and cast the sirip theron al hote, and serue it forth.
