Reinventing the Already Fabulous – Leftover Chicken with Tomatoes & Crispy Chorizo

by Dining Minx on December 7, 2010 · 0 Comments

There are literally 1000s upon 1000s of food blogs. Far too many to consider. Why would I bother pursuing a food blog with so many in mind, you may ask. My first move towards blogging was defined by my move to Israel. I took writing oh so seriously, in the hope that I could build [...]

A Twist on Tomato Sauce by the Saucy Chef

by Dining Minx on November 2, 2010 · 2 Comments

Whilst living in the US last year, I watched an excessive amount of television. To be precise, my TV set was stuck on Bravo TV and Food Network for a large part of the day. Inspiration from the Barefoot Contessa, Iron Chefs, Top Chefs and Martha was flowing in my culinary cerebral cortex, as I [...]

Minx’s Favourite Pasta Creations – Whilst on a Budget and in a Funk

by Dining Minx on October 27, 2010 · 1 Comments

I haven’t been in the best of moods lately. I am working from home, which I hate. I don’t reap any financial benefits from my start-up business, which I hate even more. When mixing a depressed state of mind with a lack of funding, you end up with one desperate cook turning to desperate culinary [...]

A New Year, the Persian Way

by Dining Minx on September 8, 2010 · 2 Comments

Tonight, Jewish homes across the globe join to celebrate the Jewish New Year. In Israel, this simply means a nation fully focused on food: preparing, serving, sharing and discussing. Family meals and barbeques define the two-day stretch. My ashkinazi traditions direct me towards a roasted bird, chopped liver and kugel. My marital, serphardi/tripoli traditions mean [...]

Simplicity in Good Food – Duck with Raspberry Reduction

by Dining Minx on August 25, 2010 · 0 Comments

I am currently working on a new ‘food’ project. I have been zipped up tight and cannot reveal a thing. This is a tough situation for a girl like me. However, I can say the entire process is tugging at every cord of the Dining Minx. I am confronting my inner battles, as I struggle to [...]

Cooling for the Summer – Spicy Avocado, Cucumber and Coconut Cold Soup

by Dining Minx on August 17, 2010 · 0 Comments

It is too hot in Tel Aviv right now. Its hard enough walking down the street in the daytime, let alone being behind a hot stove and cooking dinner at night. Times like this, I try and keep my meals simple, light and involving as little heat as possible. This cold soup recipe, by Marcia [...]

Israel’s Street Food Leading London’s Culinary Scene – Fried Cauliflower with Tahini

by Dining Minx on August 7, 2010 · 3 Comments

Every trip I have taken back home to London over the last year, family and friends have incessantly raved about Ottolenghi. The restaurant is meant to be incredible, and the recipes, largely vegetarian, are said to be seamless and full-flavoured. I had to see what all the fuss was about. Although a trip to the [...]

Inspiration from Nazareth – Persian Pistachio, Saffron and Rosewater Ice-Cream

by Dining Minx on July 28, 2010 · 0 Comments

We took a trip to Nazareth, the largest city in the North district of Israel. This city, with a predominantly Arab population, is most famous for being the early home of Jesus and a destination for Christian pilgrimages. The must-see place was the Basilica of the Annunciation … The Dining Minx bit of the trip was [...]

An Indian Banquet – Lamb Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Na’an Bread

by Dining Minx on July 20, 2010 · 0 Comments

Dinner round the table with dear friends is a favourite pastime. For successful dinner party execution, its best to make dishes that can be prepared in advance. Last Friday evening, I made an array of Indian dishes and Persian pistachio and saffron ice-cream. Given that most could be made in advance, I had ample to [...]

Despite the Supermarket Shop

by Dining Minx on July 11, 2010 · 1 Comments

Sunday evening is often dedicated to the supermarket trip. We drive south of Tel Aviv to Holon, to embark on a shopping mission at one of Israel’s most well-stocked supermarkets, Hezi Chinam, half free. We make it a Sunday night (Israel’s first working day), given that it is one of their quieter days. Israeli food [...]
