And I agree, he is a hottie (with a civic conscience) -he's been campaigning to get all the junk food out of British schools, replacing them with nutritious and tasty food choices. Ofcourse, it's probably not entirely altruistic on his part, but hey, atleast he's getting the kids off their sugar high!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1143590926819301812006-03-28T19:08:00.000-05:002006-03-28T19:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for filling in the blanks, sruthi, I will l...Thanks for filling in the blanks, sruthi, I will look it up and get back to you! :)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1143590869095959402006-03-28T19:07:00.000-05:002006-03-28T19:07:00.000-05:00guiness-girl - chicken tikka is a family favorite,...guiness-girl - chicken tikka is a family favorite,will send you the recipe via e-mail; I just marinate and grill...nothing fancy. The bhuna chicken I do with prepackaged spices because funnily enough, it's not something my mom ever made - or maybe she did and we just called it something else? <BR/><BR/>Susan, true, a curry and all those side dishes could be a daunting task for someone not used to Indian cooking, but for me, I'm more intimidated by Italian or Spanish cooking! :) Thank goodness I have your blog to refer to for nice Italian recipes, but finding some of those ingredients might be challenging. And ohhhh, I still salivate at the thought of that milanese risotto with the saffron! As for casseula, I will have to make a note of that, only so I know what NOT to order on my next trip! ;)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1143571720668432812006-03-28T13:48:00.000-05:002006-03-28T13:48:00.000-05:00Jamie's called the "Naked Chef" because he started...Jamie's called the "Naked Chef" because he started out making dishes in which the ingredients would really sing. It didn't involve much cooking, mostly just bringing the flavours out naturally, therefore "naked". Personally I think he's yummy, plus he's a drummer in a band!

An Indian...Jeez, Lotus, don't sell yourself short! An Indian lentil, a curry and a vegetable sound fantastic! All three in the same meal would take me forever. <BR/>Now, I'll admit I was waiting with bated breath for the "Naked Chef" to finally appear on TV and when he did, clothes and all, I was a little disappointed. <BR/>If you tried risotto in Milan, you hit one of the most canonical local dishes! A more adventutous (and potentially traumatic, depending on your tastes) would have been to try "casseula" a stew of cabbage and pork...tails, feet, ears!Susan in Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504876361780195313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-1143520760721250592006-03-27T23:39:00.000-05:002006-03-27T23:39:00.000-05:00YUM.Ooh, do you have a good recipe for chicken tik...YUM.<BR/><BR/>Ooh, do you have a good recipe for chicken tikka masala or chicken bhuna?
