Organically Cooked avocado is a relatively new crop beign produced in great quantities in crete - most of the locals still don't know how to eat an avocado: for a start, they have only recently realised that they are a vegetable rather than a fruit; originally they used to slice them in half, sprinkle them with sugar, and eat them like a grapefruit

i recall reading an article in saveur about vietnamese eating avocado sprinkled with sugar. in los angeles, avacados find their way into so many dishes- burritos (obvious, perhaps), sandwiches (with a huge variety of fillings), hamburgers, sushi rolls, a myriad of salads, etc.. at southeast asian places you can get sweet and creamy avacado shakes. ... Read Morea french bistro take on the avocado i enjoyed was a salad with arugula.

avocado spread on bread makes perfect sense to me. besides the sandwich affiliation in l.a., it does seem to me like the closet thing to butter that grows on a tree.

Thank you - that's really kind of you. I made boureki from your recipe for dinner tonight. It was really good, but I don't think I used enough salt. What would you use as a rule of thumb?

that's a really difficult question to answer - it took me years to work out how much salt was the 'right' amount, according to my husband! i guess you should use 'more than' what you used before! i am going into AB vasilopoulos tomorrow so i should find out about where esle they are located in crete

Kiwis don't move around a lot. They stay pretty much in one country, mainly because they can't fly. Being nocturnal creatures, they are hardly ever seen. In New Zealand, they are considered an endagered species. ...

We love these! I have to look at your recipe to see what you put in yours. Mine are based off a recipe from an old cook book and I've tweaked to my liking but I'm always looking for new ways to prepare our favorites.

if it's important to you to make these stuffed peppers look like oven-baked yemista, place them under a hot grill for five minutes, to give the caps a burnt look
