Home Made Tofu (recipe)

I tend to find that tofu sold in most places is either too damned expensive, silken type only or has a foul bitter taste to it. The bitterness is something which often is unavoidable as they use a solidifying agent which has to be washed out. It also has the side effect of having calcium in it which makes it brittle and hard to cook with. Here's my homemade recipe with a citrus zing!

Spanish Omelette / Tortilla de Patata (recipe)

Spanish omelette is something that gets done SO HORRENDOUSLY WRONG so much of the time. The dry and flaky air-filled nothingness that is Spanish omelette which is served in Tapas chains across the world is an insult to this dish! Try making it this way and I guarantee you it will come out perfect every time.

Narutomaki / Kamaboko Recipe

If you like this recipe, please donate!

For those of you who don't know, those swirly flakes in your ramen soup are called Narutomaki - a form of Kamaboko called narutomaki because it is reminiscent of the whirlpools in the naruto sea - or some such rubbish.

Anyway, these are extremely difficult to get hold of in the UK - at least in the North East of England, and I have seen many people asking for recipes and not many actual recipes about. I have made my own Kamaboko before but the result was not as visually pleasing as the actual Narutomaki brand. This one works a treat.
