the rice & condiments drowning in the soup (or the pounded tea).
this is one of my favourite hakka dishes from my grandmother's kitchen, the lui cha. being of hakka origin, my grandmother's cooking is mostly influenced by hakka cuisine.
the soup is cooked with a consortment of pounded herbs, tea leaves (hence the name), sesame seeds, peanuts etc. normally 7 types of greens are cooked to accompany the rice and soup. pickled radish, beancurds and (sometimes) dried shrimps are stir-fried together to make the lui cha more flavourful.

This is another Jamie Oliver recipe - I'm working through my cookbooks as you can tell. It is really very simple- use the insides of a good quality sausage, fry it with some fennel seeds and chilli flakes, add a little white wine, lemon juice and the water from cooking the fusilli (just a little bit) Then pop the cooked fusilli in.
I cooked dinner for myself last week. Half-cookd potato, sliced and grilled with olive oil and seasonings unitl cripsy and browned. Together with browned cubes of tofu with black mushrooms in a tamarind/chadon beni sauce. But the tofu and black mushrooms didn't take a good photo and I was too hungry to rearrange it.
I used this recipe this afternoon to prepare dinner and it came out reasonably well. However a few changes should be made the next time. One is to use a lower/slower method. I think the chicken dried up a bit because of the High approach. And, although the spices were easy to come by in my cupboard, I think it would improve with some more traditional Indian spices. Worth doing though and very health conscious.

I made some Blueberry muffins today. It's a very simple recipe, and you can change the flavour if you don't like Blueberries.
Spinach and artichoke pasta, recipe by The Pioneer Woman. Plenty of butter and cheese, that´s the way I like my spinach. Seriously difficult to stop eating.

Another favourite from Jamie Oliver. We never really understood the potential of grilled vegetables before. They taste great when grilled on their own, but add the couscous and the lemon/olive oil dressing, and it is really sensational!
Recipe: Grill a variety of vegetables - I used courgettes, brinjal, fennel, red capsicum (chargrill this over a flame and remove skin after) and mushrooms in this particular dish, but asparagus works really well in it too. Soak couscous (about 200g) in cold water, allow it to absorb the water. When softened, mix with the grilled vegetables Add some handfuls of coriander and mint (can add other leaves as well, eg parsley, basil), dress with lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, some salt/pepper to taste.
