LASANG PINOY 8 (Paslit Edition)
For the third time of my contribution to the LASANG PINOY 8 paslit edition which hosted by
Iska of Edible Experiment and sur to read a lot of exciting entry's about "mom's kitchen experience with the kids". My children are adolescent, and i had only this photo to remember the time my son assist me in my kitchen activity. This was when we are preparing the cakes for his 4rth anniversary.
When i prepared the "devils food cake" I remember he was turning around behind me waiting till the mixer finish his job, waiting for his turn as you can see he helpes me clean the utensil.
On the table i have prepared sausage in puff pastry-inspired from "Better homes and gardens, banana loaf-a cake cookbook, devils food cake (The New Basics cookbook) that i decorated which i copied from (Asutralian weekly magasins) behind his head were a biscuit of croissants shaped that Mammy Genevieve from Poland gave me the recipe,(she speaks french because she have lived in Belgium for several years). It was touching because when we left Poland she had made us one box of the biscuits for us to bring, and lastly was my very first time to make the "Anzac cookies" also from aussi book which is "fastosh" very easy cookies.
But what i wish to share are my childhood memories whenever my father has to prepare dishes for the festivities. Yess, it was my father who handle the big job of cooking. Of course my mom was also assisting band our role are the cleaning and preparation of all the ingredients.We were the ones who peels potatoes, onions, garlic..and chopped tomatoes. What i like most is the part when my father have pre-fried the potatoes.. we were sneaking around see if my father is away from the kitchen, then we stills the pre-fried potato, it was soooo good. "Parang french fries di ba". I have learned to make "Lumpiang Shanghai" with my sister. I have been enjoying the rolling of the fillings... "kasama ang papak" he he he.
Now that i have my own family i am glad that i am able to share to my kids some taste of Philippine culture even they do not have much occasions to stay there and to know more about the Philippines. I am reminding my son that he has to learn how to cook all the dishes he love because soon, he will be on his own.
Allez au boulot!
Pour vous dire c'est vraiment très intéressant de rencontrer des gens d'origine differentes. Avec mon travail, je pense avoir beacoup de chance. "Aussi intéressant que de rencontrer des gens sympa dans le monde du blog!"
Bon, pour ne pas me plaindre, six mois de travail intensif, mais quand même six mois de vacance. Mais entre juillet-août pas moyen de me mettre aux fourneaux, et la cuisine me manque beaucoup pendant cette période.

Gambas au bouillon de tamarin
Un des plats favoris aux Philippines. Au lieu des crevettes, nous pouvons remplacer par du poissons, du porc ou même de la viande de boeuf.
Pour preparer ce plat, il vous faut:
1 tomates coupé en morceaux
1piment vert 500 gr de gambas crus
1 aubergine coupée en biais
1 radis blanc coupé en biais
Des tiges de cresson (ou autrement, nous utilisons de jeune feuilles de patate douce)
1 grand oignon émincé 200 gr de tamarin encore vert si vous pouvez vous en procurer, sinon on peut en trouver dans des magasin exotiques ou asiatiques le produit "Knorr Tamarin soup base" .
Il y a encore d'autres légumes qu'on rajoute si on peut les trouver, comme les taros et des haricots longue.
Pour les cuire:
Faire bouillir 2 litres d'eau et y rajouter l'oignon, la tomates coupée, le tamarin ou "knorr", le piment, du sel et du poivre. Laisser bouillir pendant 15 minutes. Rajouter ensuite les légumes et le gambas en dernière pendant 10 minutes.
Servir avec du riz nature pour le plat principal et son bouillon comme soupe pour un entré.

Alose au four mariné au "kaffir lime"
With the rest of the fish i have cooked it Filipino style.
Marinate with garlic, onion, ginger and vinegar. Of course seasoned with salt and pepper.
Bring to boil and lower the heat and keep simmer for about
20 minutes.
When i bought these fishes i thought they were "Sardines".
I bought twelve of them, the sizes are quite big so i just made 8 pieces of them, which after cleaning them and head off, i marinated with the rind of two "kaffir lime" and crushed red pepper corn. I got the idea of putting red peppercorn when i had a lunch out with a friend. We have had a smoked salmon with grated cucumber and they sprinkled this with crushed peppercorn and salt . I have cooked this fish last Saturday. It was fun because when i visited Bea's blog of "La tartine gourmand" she have written articles about this peppercon.
This is the first time i have used this two ingredients, the flavor are good harmony with the garlic skin on about four pieces. Though too laborful with its fish bone the fish were really tasty serve with boiled potatoes. My husband and son says too much fish bones, i told them because they are big. Then later on i realized and remember a friend of mine serve me one time the fish calle alose and she told me they are good but too much fish bones. Aaaahh so then they were not sardines!

Technique Philippine en France pour Coco fraichement rapé
Je jongle entre cuisine française, philippine et autre. Notre culture est mal connue ici, en France. Dans le domaine de la cuisine, mon pays a de multiples origines et influences culinaires, de plusieurs pays. Partout nous pouvon trouver des plat cuisiné exotique (industrielle) mais bien sûr, la cuisine fait maison sont toujour la meilleures.
This entry explains how i would like to share to readers from francophone about how i manage to improvised to continue cooking Philippine dishes. As i have noticed for preparation coconut milk here in France they take out the coco meat and put in blender.
I find it fun to do it while i was watching my favorite food show.. on Cuisine TV.
