R - R - R

Rice  and  Roo  and  Radicchio

I believe that anyone can cook.   I can say that I am a keen cook.  My curiosity about cooking has started since I was a young girl.  I live in Australia now, the opportunity to learn and to explore food and cooking is fantastic. I am not strict in my tradition in terms of cooking because I like to learn more.   I cook a variety of meals for my family, and they are happy enough, and they are very supportive too.

One thing I know, if you are very good at the cooking of your own traditional food, then you can do other cooking. 

I learn about new flavours, textures in food with eagerness.  In fact, I love to experience combining unique flavour with others, I can be very adventurous that way, especially with fruit or vegetables or even meat. This yacon, which has a sweet taste and of crunchy texture, is a new vegetable to me, and I love it.  I make it for acar,  a side salad that is served with rice and other savoury dishes.

There are a lot of red meats that are available here, beef, goat, lamb-the great Australian lamb, and kangaroo.  Only recently the kangaroo meat is available at the supermarket or Farmer's market.  I tried it and loved it.  It is healthier red meat, has less cholesterol, only you must know how to cook it properly.  I cook the all type of meat for quick sauteing, grilling, and I cooked this Roo meat into an excellent elegant dish- "Roo in Brioche", a French Dish Down Under.  It is suitable for a dinner party.

It is a delicious dish for Autumn, but also excellent for a light
Winter Dish


Kangaroo meat has a strong flavour.  I put healthy herbs and served it with bitter vegetables- radicchio, creamy mastered sauce, or curies sauce. 

These R and R and R are absolutely Ridgy-didge indeed.

Until Next Post
Susy.
