I'm not so much wannabe chef as a wannabe food taster. I just love trying new foods. I started cooking at an early age, mum was bed ridden and dad and big sis were at work so the task fell to me when I got home from school. Mum would shout out instructions from her bed in the living room and I would juggle pots, pans and ingredients in the kitchen. We did quite well between us.
Over the years I've collected recipes and cook books, working on the assumption that every book has at least one good recipe in it, you just have to eat a lot of crap sometimes before find it. Once I have though (found it, that is), it goes into my own personal cookbook, which,I've decided it's time to share.....

Jihva for Ingredients - Ginger

GingerWell ..... Here we are. It's come round to my turn to host Jihva for Ingredients and I have to say I'm a little nervous.
You would think it would be quite easy choosing an ingredient for the theme of this event but I have been agonising over it for weeks.
The choices over the last nine months have all been excellent as have the recipes, so I'm sure all you wonderful cooks out there will have no problem creating something equally spectacular with my theme . . . . Ginger

Hot, spicy and incredibly versatile. Ginger has many medicinal uses as well as culinary. Not only can it be used to flavour sweet and savoury dishes it is also the main ingredient in ginger beer and ginger ale which are said to help cure stomach upsets caused by overeating!

For those of you who would like to participate in this event the rules are quite simple:

Post a recipe on your blog containing Ginger as one of the dominating flavours by 1st February (it doesn't have to be a new recipe, just one that you particularly enjoy).

Send me an email ( ginger@whatstherecipetodayjim.com) on 1st February with a link to your post plus a photo of the dish 75x75 pixels in size.

Include the name and brief description of your dish in your email and title the subject of the mail: JFI-Ginger.

That's all there is to it. Don't forget to check later that week for the roundup.

Happy cooking :-)
