Middle Eastern Inspiration Chicken (with dates and zucchini) (1) by iphigenie

From an old swiss magazine in the late 80s - I am entering the recipe here as is, it shows its age a little so I have made some adjustments adding more spices to make it more middle-eastern (coriander, aniseed, cinnamon, cayenne) This is an "europeanised" tajine recipe, and it tastes great Mus...

Blackberry meringue cake (tourte aux mures) (12) by iphigenie

Translated from Swiss magazine 'Betty Bossi' June 1992 This is a wonderfully summery cake, a very typical swiss "fruit mixed with meringue" layer on top of a lemon biscuit base. Far easier than it looks, if you can manage to fluffy egg whites with sugar, you can do it. It can also be done with ...

"Save the wine for drinking" lamb stew (1) by iphigenie

Improvised this today, and I think this is worth preserving and trying again. There was this old forgotten bottle of really good wine from 1993 and I thought it would probably not be drinkable. I had planned to do a wine based stew, cook the leg in wine, then take it out, cut the meat in pieces a...

Spinach and Pea Rice (2) by iphigenie

Forked and changed Spinach and Pea Rice: "added some ingredients to make it less dry and more suited as a main"

A rich rice dish. Perfect with a simple main dish; also makes a fantastic veggie one pot if you're looking for something quick and healthy (and low GI). If you've got frozen spinach and frozen peas to hand this is a microwave marvel! The original recipe makes a great side dish rice for a fancy ...

Beef and beer stew with a mediterranean twist (1) by iphigenie

This is an "iphigenie fusion" read-merge-extend recipe. I was planning to do the lamb stew I had found here but R came back from the store with beef stew meat, so I had to change my plans. I found a couple recipes with the kind of ingredients I had, then took the best bits of several and merged int...

They are extremely good for such a simple recipe - this was one of the favorite christmas biscuit i...

Thai breakfast shrimp and rice soup by iphigenie

I have been looking for a recipe that resembles what we used to eat in one of the cafeterias at university in Switzerland, and this is my closest find so far. This is not the traditional hot-and-sour shrimp soup - which has coconut milk and chilies etc. This is a clear broth soup, much lighter, a...
