Inspiring Movie .. a New Task is Born !

For Foodies & Food Lovers .. This is the movie to watch ! It's combines two stories of two women and their journey in finding themselves through food and recipes. Julie & Julia (2009)
The movie talks about a young woman who's frustrated with her government job, her & her husband's living arrangement in Queens and her purpose in life. She takes on a task of cooking 524 recipes of her idle's book; Julia Child's Mastering the art of French Cooking. She starts blogging about each recipe and the struggles, the accomplishments and all the emotional challenges she faces. The movie also takes us into Julia Child's journey in the making of the book and her career as a legendary chef.

This inspired me to do the same. I have many chefs that I'm inspired by and would love to try all their recipes. Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Todd English, to name a few.
I would love to start out trying to cook almost everything in Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking & the Art of Comfort Cooking.. I already have tried so many recipes from it and why not go for the whole thing from cover to cover?!

So there, another task to add and another challenge to tackle. I'm contemplating the timing and the deadline.
This is a fun idea to take on, I'm still processing it.. so this is pending until I post the start & due date.

Pending until further notice....

Adventures in another cooking show

I think we established the fact that I'm into culinary arts and gastronomy, which makes me get drawn to Tv shows that resembles a kitchen and food in any way.
So my recent obsession is this



Based on the memoir of chef Anthony Bourdain, it capture the insanity that goes on out of the customer's sight, in the Kitchen of a top restaurant. In one episode; on Nolita's opening night, a worker's fingertip goes missing, and a food critic gets seated next to a bathroom door!

I'm loving it.. it's very funny.

I'm a big fan of the naked chef.. his recipies are exquisite.. his TV shows include...Oliver's Twist, Jamie's School Dinners, Jamie's Great Italian Escape, Naked Chef and Jamie's Kitchen.

Since this is a start.. the recipe I picked for today is a starter.. taken from the Jamie Oliver official website
Grilled Marinated Mozzarella - serves 4



Ingredients:
1 loaf of ciabatta bread - could be found at the sultan center or any bakery
8 thinly sliced turkey bacon
zest of 2 lemons
4 large buffalo mozzarella cheeses
8 sticks of fresh rosemary
1 clove of garlic
extra virgin olive oil
3 handfuls of mixed fresh herbs (chives, mint, basil, parsley)

for the dressing
1 good handful of nice black olives, stones removed
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
5 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons extra virgin
olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
Remove the crusts from the ciabatta and tear up into rough 2.5cm/ 1 inch pieces. Mix it in a bowl with the bacon and lemon zest. Divide each mozzarella into 8 similar-sized pieces and add to the bowl. Keeping the leaf tips on the rosemary sticks, remove the lower leaves and then smash these up in a pestle and mortar with the garlic. Stir in 8 tablespoons of olive oil, then pour this mixture over the bread, cheese and bacon. Marinate for anything from 15 minutes to an hour.
Thread your mozzarella and bread on to your rosemary sticks, weaving the bacon in and around. Line up the kebabs on a wire rack and place under the grill on a very high heat until the bread and bacon are golden and crisp and the mozzarella is nice and gooey. While this is grilling make sure you keep an eye on it, as it can turn into a charred kebab very quickly. To make the dressing, chop up the olives and mix with the chilli, 5 tablespoons of the lemon juice and the same of olive oil. Season to taste.

To serve the kebabs, dress the herbs with half of the olive dressing right at the last minute so the leaves stay nice and fresh, then use the other half of the dressing drizzled over the kebabs.
