25.01.2022 Homemade mixed fruit loaf. What could be better than a thick slice of delicious mixed-fruit loaf, I love it toasted and topped with my homemade marmalade. For this mixed fruit loaf I used my (original bread recipe) and I added dried mixed fruit, a little sugar and cinnamon. Make it whichever way you like it. :)
23.01.2022 Fred Vella's Recipe. Pan fried Carp with delicious chunky salsa. Carp is one of the most delicious and common fish consumed in many parts of the world, and it has a number of great health benefits, including its ability to improve heart health, lower inflammation, protect respiratory health, optimize digestive function, slow the aging process and fend off chronic disease.... My Recipe. Ingredients: 2 Carp fillets 3 tablespoons white flour 3 table spoons oil 1 onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 Scallion, chopped 1 medium sized zucchini (Courgette) sliced 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes, or fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped 1 level tablespoon tomato paste 1 level teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 8 green olives 1 level tablespoon capers 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp rosemary 2 bay leaves 1 tablespoon white wine fish stock salt and freshly ground black pepper Method: After you finish descaling and cleaning the fish, remove the dark blood line along the fish's backbone. You can use the knife to cut the line along or just use a spoon to scrape the line out. Remove the bones and cut the fish into steaks or fillets. Coat the fish fillet with a thin layer of flour. Shake off any excess flour. Heat a large heavy pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat to a medium hot temperature and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan thoroughly. Add the carp fillets to the pan, Cook the fillets until golden browned, about 2 minutes on each side. (cook longer if you have thicker fillets). Set aside. In a medium pan, heat oil, add onion and the zucchini, scallion and let cook for 2 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Add the garlic (Do not let the garlic burn). Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, bay leaves, capers, parsley, olives, basil, rosemary, fish stock, white wine, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper, then turn down the heat to low. Add the fish to the pan and gently turn it over so it is covered in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or spring Onions and serve warm or cold.

12.01.2022 A delicious spicy pineapple marinated chicken cooked in my homemade wood-fired oven/smoker.
11.01.2022 I built my wood-fired oven/smoker with no proper tools, no metal working experience, but lots of cooking passion, (using only recycled scrap). I used an oil drum and a toaster oven door and clay inside the oven floor with a fire pit on the right hand side for (naked flame) also connected an old toaster oven for the smokebox outside the oven. It's not the looks of the oven but knowing how to cook and how to control the temperature using wood fire. The incredible flavour and aroma that only charred cooking can bring. This allows to add tastes that you can’t achieve with spices and sauces, and it brings an earthy element to your cooking. In this oven/smoker, I can create and cook or smoke any gourmet dish to perfection. https://www.facebook.com/fredmaltese1/

07.01.2022 Cooking is my passion. I don't cook from recipes but from the heart depending on the produce available to me and what I feel like eating or making at the time. I enjoy creating my own culinary masterpiece. Each day I cook something different, I'm not tied to a recipe and never cook the same dish twice. Cooking and eating good food is, to me, one of life's greatest joys.

01.01.2022 We fell asleep in one world and woke up in another. Suddenly Disney is out of magic, Paris is no longer romantic, New York doesn't stand up anymore,... The Chinese wall is no longer a fortress, and Mecca is empty. Hugs & kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents & friends becomes an act of love. Suddenly you realize that power, beauty & money are worthless, and can't get you the oxygen you're fighting for. The world continues its life and it is beautiful. It only puts humans in cages. I think it's sending us a message: "You are not necessary. The air, earth, water, and sky without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters
