by Jeanne Horak on July 22, 2005 16 Comments in EoMEoTE

Well, I asked for drama and I got it!  Who would have thought us EoMEoTers were such a bunch of drama queens??!  Yes, once a month we may cook with some of mankind’s most basic (and satisfying!) ingredients, but at heart we are as dramatic as anything you will find in a Michelin-starred restaurant.  If […]

EoMEoTE#8 – eggs on toast, Swedish style

Curried chicken salad – a cool salad for a hot night

by Jeanne Horak on June 23, 2005 6 Comments in Gluten-free, Main course - poultry, Salads

  Well, summer has finally arrived here in London – with bang.  At the beginning of last week I was still carrying a jersey and a jacket to work with me and moaning about how it’s still chilly although it’s the middle of bloody June.  And then Friday… BAM!  Summer finally hit these shores!  It […]
