Rice is the most eaten food in the world. It is the staple diet in many countries around the world. In fact, half of our planet's population actually depend on rice for survival. Its importance as a nutritious meal is unsurpassed through human history and it can always be part of a healthy diet.

Happlily, rice does not have to always be eaten plain, although it can be very good this way as a side dish. There are numerous possibilities that can plunge our rice eating experience into a world of taste and flavors while being very healthy and nutritious. Rice can either be savored as a main dish, side dish or even desert.

Bake Patatoes

How To Bake A Potato


So you want to know the best way to bake a potato? Golden, crispy brown skins and soft, tasty potato-goodness inside? It's quite simple and easy to do, and if you follow along with me I will show you how to do it every step of the way.

Baking potatoes will take you from 1 to 1&1/2 hours to do in the oven, which is the method I will be showing you here. Microwaves speed it up, but they destroy a lot of the nutrients and you just don't get the same crispy skin in the microwave and everyone knows that the skins are the best part!

Fennel Risotto with Feta Cheese

fennel-feta-risotto

Wow, I've posted a lot of sweet recipes lately. It's not that I haven't been cooking, but I guess I haven't tried a whole lot of new recipes. As always, risotto remains one of our favorite dishes. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner, as it takes about half an hour in total. It's great on its own, or as a side dish. This particular one is nice served along a spicy sausage (like chorizo or salsiccia), or grilled chicken.

Fennel Risotto with Feta Cheese


1 yellow onion
1 small-ish fennel bulb
200 ml arborio rice
50 ml dry sherry
1 litre good stock (any kind of vegetable would work well)
100 ml finely grated parmesan
75 g feta cheese
butter, olive oil

Finely chop onion and fennel. Heat a little butter and olive oil in a heavy pot, and fry the onion and fennel on medium heat for a few minutes. Add the rice, and turn up the heat to let it color until golden. Stir all the time - it burns easily. When the rice is golden, add the sherry and let it reduce for a minute.

Add the stock, ladle by ladle. When the risotto looks dry, add more. It'll take about 20 minutes in total - keep tasting to make sure the rice is just right. You might not need all the stock, or you might run out - just add hot water in that case.

When the rice is done - slightly chewy but not crunchy, and definitely not mushy - stir in the parmesan. Taste to see if you need to season it, and serve with crumbled feta cheese.

Raspberry Chocolate Macarons

Raspberry Chocolate Macarons

we advise Raspberry Chocolate Macarons.I think its very beneficial for you.

This is an entry for International Picnic Day, hosted by Louise. I chose the letter R, and decided to bring my Raspberry Chocolate Macarons - delicious! I really look forward to the round-up - picnics are great, even the virtual ones! (Edited: round-up is now here!)

It's the first time I'm really trying to flavor the shells (other than chocolate) and it's only because I was given a tub of freeze-dried raspberries by Dagmar. It's not available here, although I really wish I could have many more freeze-dried fruits or berries to experiment with. I chose to not color these shells. Partly because I'm never that successful with colorings, but mostly because it feels a bit silly to bake something lovely from scratch and then add unnatural additives to it. Besides, macarons are pretty regardless of the color, and more importantly - they're yummy.
