Oven Baked Salmon With Dill Sauce

As I was craving some seafood, specifically salmon, I found a recipe in a Norwegian cookbook for oven baked salmon with dill sauce.

The cookbook I used is called "365 sunne middager på en halvtime" (roughly translates as 365 healthy dinners in 30 minutes) edited by Ingrid Espelid Hovig, and in my opinion it was a fairly easy recipe to follow. Yes, I needed to use a couple of pots, as well as a mixing bowl for the sauce, and something for the salmon in the oven, but having a dishwasher helps in the clean-up.

Now, even with the pink pepper, in addition to the dill sauce, I did find the dinner overall a little bit too plain for my taste. Good? Yes, but still a bit too plain. Perhaps I'm a bit spoiled as I'm a bit used to food with a bit more spice to it, but if you're one that struggles with too much spice, whether it's too flavourful or hot, it might be something for you though.

I might make it again though, even if I struggled with the lack of spice.

Acehnese Chicken With Curry Leaves

As there was a combined Asian and Middle-Eastern grocery store that has finally opened in the small coastal town where I live, it made it a lot easier for me finding some non-western cooking ingredients that the "regular" grocery stores and supermarkets don't have. One of those things being curry leaves, which meant I could finally make Acehnese Chicken with Curry Leaves from the cookbook named Coconut & Sambal by Lara Lee. While this was perhaps a slightly more complicated and time-consuming recipe, it was still fairly easy to make. Even with A LOT of chili in it, it didn't taste too overpowering spicy hot, but I do enjoy when the food has a kick to it. I can admit I'm more used to Thai, Chinese, and Indian food, so I do enjoy trying something a bit different from time to time, and I'll probably make this one again some time.

Why Am I Starting This Blog?

I've been thinking about starting this blog for quite some time and I decided to bite the bullet and actually do it. Why? Because even though Instagram is fun and all that, I felt it didn't quite work out for me the way I wanted. Anyway, let's go back to some time last year. As a book dragon who loves to cook and bake, I naturally have quite a collection of cookbooks (perhaps no shocker there), but I rarely used them. Some? Yes, but most certainly not the vast majority. So I went through them all with page markers (those small sticky post-it style things) and marked each page where I found a recipe I wanted to try that looked interesting and/or tasty. It was a bit labour-intensive as I've got quite a collection of cookbooks, but it was still fun to do. I slowly started working my way, making some of the recipes, while also posting on Instagram and creating a hashtag for the project ( #kristinscookbookproject ). As I mentioned, Instagram is fun and all that, but with th...

Thai-Inspired Chicken Soup

As it's autumn and thus soup season, I looked through my cookbooks and decided I wanted to make a Thai-inspired chicken soup I found in a Norwegian cookbook named "Matmisjon - Ekte mat fra ti matbloggere" edited by Hanne Stensvold. The recipe I used was one of those that's fairly easy to follow, and the only adjustment I needed to do was not using as much stock/water, as I didn't quite have enough room in the pot, but it produced several portions of soup anyway, so it wasn't a big deal really. The soup itself had some warmth and kick to it, as I used both red curry paste and a chopped chili in it, which is rather nice on a cold autumn day. A big bonus is that as it's made from scratch, rather than being one of those soup-mix things, is that it was a bit filling too (I feel that a lot of times, those soup mixes doesn't quite cut it). I dare say this is one of those recipes I'd love to make again.
