World Bread Day / Mexican Baked Eggs / Gravadlax



Blog Post: World Bread Day


Bake or buy a bread, take pictures (if possible) and blog about it on Friday, 16th October 2009. Just one entry per blog, please.


Blog Post & Recipe: Recipe for Mexican Baked Eggs with Black Beans, Tomatoes, Green Chiles, and Cilantro


For sure it was the Tuscan Baked Eggs I made last summer that got me thinking of eggs baked in tomato sauce but I have no idea what inspired me to try simmering the tomatoes with black beans and spicy green chiles.



Blog Post & Recipe: Gravadlax and how to make it


'Gravad lax' is Swedish for 'cured salmon' and harks back to the time when fishermen would save part of their catch by burying it in the beach. Presumably the salt in the sand had a preservative effect and a degree of fermentation held off decomposition for a while. Today, things are a little better organised. Nobody's suggesting you should bury your salmon in the garden, but you can entomb it in a salty rub, some cling film and a fridge for a couple of days and produce something magical.
