Chocolate Scones

As I had some dark chocolate I wanted to use up, I made chocolate scones based on a recipe from a cookbook called "Sjokolade" (Chocolate), but I'm unsure who the author is though.

Chocolate and scones, what could go wrong? Not much really, as it was a fairly easy recipe to make, so I'll most certainly make it again some time. The only thing I did differently from the actual recipe was that the scones was supposed to be cut into squares, but I decided cutting them into those "pizza slice"-slices instead. Regardless of shape, they tasted good, which is the most important thing.

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.

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.

Making Chicken Satay From Scratch

Alright, it took a while before I got into gear and actually started writing more blog posts for this blog and I'm sorry about that. Anyway, earlier this week I ended up making Chicken Satay from scratch, thanks to a recipe I found in a Norwegian cookbook called Alt Asiatisk 2 - Enkelt, raskt og godt by Elisabeth Le. She also writes the food blog called Alt Asiatisk , so if you understand Norwegian and enjoy various types of Asian cuisine, it's worth checking out. As I didn't have any skewers, I couldn't put the pieces of chicken on those, but it made making this dish a bit less of a hassle in one way. Personally, I found the recipe fairly easy overall and most, if not all, ingredients could be found at either a regular grocery store or at least a well stocked supermarket, which is always a bit neat. Regardless, the end result was really tasty and I'm sure I'll make it again some time. The only thing is that one need to plan a bit ahead, as the chicken needs to...
