Salade Niçoise





Ingredients: 2 different types of lettuces, green beans, Kipfler potato, anchovies, cherry tomato, egg, fresh tuna steak, spanish onion.

Dressing: Lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar. Adjust to taste.

Plain Bagel






















Try this: late night, warm toasty bagel fresh out from the oven, cut in half, generous amount of butter, and drizzle honey on top. Serve with a glass of cold fresh milk. Yummmmm~~~

What makes a bagel bagel is the boiling process. Chuck the shaped dough in a pot of boiling water for about 1 minute, before sticking them in the pre-heated oven.

French Baguette
































































Baguette recipe is based loosely on http://www.famousfrenchdesserts.com/french-bread-baguette-recipes.html though I kinda blend step 1-5 into one step.

Tips on making baguette:
(1) Very high oven temperature.
(2) Leave a bowl of water in the oven for the first 10-15 min of baking, then take the water out, and continue baking.

Tomato and spanish onion salad is made by mixing all these together: truss tomato, spanish onion, white wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Adjust to taste.

Guacamole is made by mixing together: mashed avocado, fresh lemon juice, salt pepper. Adjust to taste.
