Sprouted Kamut Bread

By Wardeh on October 27, 2008

Besides soaking grains, I am also trying another method to make gluten grains more tolerable to my gluten-sensitive family. My inspiration from this came from Sue Gregg’s Introduction to Whole Grain Baking (2007). I soaked kamut berries overnight, then sprouted them for one day, until the sprouts were just barely visible. Then I dehydrated them [...]

Waffles for Dinner

By Wardeh on October 9, 2008

Received the Rome Cast-Iron Waffle Irons today. The UPS man always gives the kids candy, but today they were just as excited about what was in mom’s box… they knew we would be having waffles for dinner!
The irons come coated with paraffin wax to prevent rust. This must be removed. My method of choice was to [...]

My Tata’s Chicken Soup

By Wardeh on October 7, 2008

While dicing local onions and red potatoes on Sunday evening, and speaking with my mom on the phone, I found out that my Tata Wardeh often added turmeric to her chicken soups, for color and for health. Tata Wardeh is/was my grandmother for whom I was named; she passed away after living a long and [...]

What to do with Queso Blanco?

By Wardeh on October 7, 2008

With the leftover raw cow’s milk from my friend, I determined to make cheese. I limited myself to the easier “bag cheeses” which are the easiest to make. After all, I am not an experienced cheese maker (though I have made Middle Eastern goat cheese).
Using a book I recently acquired used from a good friend’s bookstore, [...]

Raw Cow’s Milk Ice Cream (and Little Waffles)

By Wardeh on October 5, 2008

The friend who made waffles and soap with me the other day gave us a gallon of raw cow’s milk. Something we’ve never had before. Our consumption of it is a test of sorts, for at least Haniya and Jeff, who show milk allergies.
I have become a theoretical believer in the possibility that their allergies could [...]

Flatbread Waffles

By Wardeh on October 3, 2008

My friend Jami is a great adventurer and a very creative person. She’s the one who taught me how to make Kombucha. (Thank you, Jami!) She came over yesterday to make soap and we wanted to try something else new on the same day. Well, I was game. All I need to try something new [...]

In Praise of the Vita-Mix

By Wardeh on September 23, 2008

This is going to be a shameless plug for the Vita-Mix machine. And I do mean shameless, because I do not have any reservations in recommending this awesome machine for anyone’s kitchen.
We purchased our Vita-Mix almost six years ago and have never had a moment’s trouble with it. The warranty is seven years.
Here’s what I am able [...]
