365 Quick Recipes

Rating:
Summary: Strange ingredients
Review: Beware of buying cookbooks, sight unseen, like I did with "365 Quick Recipes." In my experience these culinary manuals usually turn out to be British and require really weird ingredients like whey and pork liver and quark (charmed quarks? strange quarks? naked quarks? A teaspoon of quark star, which would weigh billions of tons?)

This particular cookbook was printed in Slovenia, but the recipes are very UK. It contains instructions for delicacies such as "White Roux soup (flour soup)," "Zander fillet with rice, plums and fennel," "Kohlrabi Gratin with Wild Garlic sauce," "Strawberry Quark," and "Milk Noodles." The latter recipe calls for spaghetti, milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar. I like all of the ingredients separately, but...Here's another good one: "Apple Vinegar Drink": 2 TBL apple vinegar, 1 TBL buckthorn juice, 1 tsp honey, 1 litre mineral water. Mix and serve chilled.

Does anyone know where I can hunt up some wild garlic? Mine's pretty tame.

Do Zanders eat quarks? Do they drink buckthorn juice?

"365 Quick Recipes" looks like an interesting cookbook, but I might have to send away to Planet Vulcan for some of the ingredients.
