Hi everyone! I would love to assemble a collection of recipes from members of this board. I would love to taste what the rest of the world is eating and get a better understanding of each other. I would like the recipes to be from your homeland with a description of the origins of the food and any stories that come with it and if there is any holidays that it is connected to. Then, I thought it would be nice to have your favorite recipe even if it is not from your homeland. I'd like to see all kinds of recipes from the healthiest to the most decedant desserts. And we can share in our meals together as a family while we listen to Loreena sings to us. As for the title of this cookbook, I've several titles in mind and I'd like your ideas as well and when we have several, I'd like to have a poll to put an official title to our cookbook. I don't want any set limits to how many recipes you contribute, I like to try different foods from different places and frankly, I am a little bored with my recipe books I already have.
Here's a few titles: Quinlan Road Cookbook Lunch with Loreena All the World's a Feast Eclectic Celtic Cookbook
Here's my recipe and it's story: Name: DUTCH BABIES Category: Breakfast Song: Come By The Hills Story: This recipe started out as a mistake in a Seattle restaurant.
4 eggs 1 cup milk 1 cup flour Pinch each salt and sugar 1/4 cup butter Confectioners' sugar, fresh lemon juice, and fruit in season, for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 2. In a blender combine eggs adn milk on high speed. Add flour, salt, sugar in two batches, blending well after each addition until smooth and creamy. 3. Place batter in a 12-14 inch shallow ovenproof pan or skillet and set in oven to melt. Swirl pan to coat evenly with butter and pour in batter. Bake until puffy and golden brown (20-30 minutes). 4. Serve immediately in baking pan, dusted with confectioners' sugar and sprinkled with lemon juice. Accompany each serving with an assortment of fresh seasonal fruit. [I]Serves 6-8.[I]
May you never hunger or thurst, Gina

I used varigated sage instead of the purple sage, I was running late, no time to go deep inside the garden of weeds to get to the purple sage while the varigated sage was right next to the rosemary. I will used this recipe a lot!!! Thank you so much!!! Love, Gina
Gina, did you play All Souls Night to your friend and her 92 year-old mother while they were eating the dish? I have a cookie recipe that I'll hopefully add soon, but I've got to taste it first to see what song goes with it. Happy Cooking! Luv Jesse
No, we didn't play "All Souls Night". Wish we did, but my friend had to talk about her past 6 months. It hadn't been good for her and she needed to talk it out. I have a suggestion of what song not to play while eating: "Cymboline". I'd hate for someone to be listening to it, taking a bite of one of these recipes then turning to dust. Not a good idea. What do you think? What kind of cookie is it? I am getting hungry again. Cookies goes good with books too. Joyful Eating, Gina

Hi Gina!
Oh I'm so glad to hear you liked it. Nice and easy, isn't it? I make this almost every weak, I simply can't get enough of it. I've been thinking of posting a bread recipe soon as well, but there are a lot of swedish words I have to translate first.
Love, E.

I love the letter rhymes! Didn't see it before. But the eyes are the first thing to go blind on...!

Originally posted by Enymphia: That's a nice idea! I also like Jesse's idea that we should name a song with our recipe, so I'll do that. My favourite season is the autumn, so this very simple recipe goes with the autumn harvest and so I choose Loreena's song All Souls Night Hi Enymphia!!! Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to make it for Samhain plus butternut squash raviolies which are very yummy!!! Perfect song to go along with the Roasted RootVegetables. I'm going to add whole garlic, fresh rosemary sprigs, thyme, lemon thyme, and purple sage. Now I am getting hungry!!!
Love, Gina Name: Roasted root vegetables Category: Main dish Story: Just a simple dish I love, and it's very easy and cheap! Not very swedish, but still.. a nice recipe and for me it's connected with autumn (hence with All Souls' Night)
5 potatoes 3 carrots 3 parsnips 1 turnip/rutabaga/yellow turnip <- there seems to be many words for it salt pepper herbs of your choice: basil, thyme, oregano and so on
Peel and chop your vegetables, be sure to make most of them in the same size so that they cook evenly. Pour some oil over the vegetables, together with salt, pepper and your dried or chopped fresh herbs. That goes right into the oven with 200 degrees C, for about 30 minutes!
I don't eat meat myself, so I just eat that dish with a sallad, but it goes perfect as a side dish to meat as well.
Good luck and happy cooking!

I have thought about a song to go with each dish and had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me. And the wine is also a plus for the book. It would be great to have it published, but with just one recipe, it will have to wait... Lunch with Loreena has 1 vote so far. I thought since lunch is only 1 meal and this collection is more than lunch; how about Munch with McKennitt? It's not the same, is it? Now I have to think of a song to go with the Dutch Babies. Thanks Jesse!!! Love, Gina
