Traditional English Breakfast- English Recipe

The Traditional English breakfast includes grilled bacon, sausages, fried eggs, fried tomatoes, baked beans, fried mushrooms, potatoes, and fried bread. It was traditionally served with tea with milk. This is a fun international recipe to make for a Sunday Brunch, when you are having guests over.

Ingredients:

• 2 flat mushrooms
• 2 links good quality sausages
• 2-3 slices bacon
• 1 ripe tomato
• 1 large egg
• 1 slice bread
• Baked beans
• Cooked potatoes

Directions:

Heat the flat grill plate over a low heat, on top of 2 rings/flames if it fits, and brush sparingly with light olive oil or vegetable oil. Add the sausages to the hot grill plate cook slowly for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden. After 10 minutes, change heat to medium before beginning to cook the other ingredients. I

Snip a few small cuts into the fatty edge of the bacon. Place the bacon straight on to the grill plate and fry for 2-4 minutes each side or until your preferred crispiness is reached. The cooked bacon can be kept hot on a plate in the oven.

Clean mushrooms using a pastry brush and trim the stalk level with the mushroom top. Add salt and pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil. Place stalk-side up on the grill plate and cook for 1-2 minutes before turning and cooking 3-4 minutes more. Don't over stir mushrooms so as to not get soggy.

Cut the tomatoes across in half, and with a small knife remove the green 'eye'. Add a dash of salt and pepper and drizzle with a olive oil. Place cut-side down on the grill plate and cook without moving for 2 minutes. Gently turn over and re-season. Cook 2-3 minutes until tender.

For the fried bread it's best to use bread that is a couple of days old. Heat frying pan to medium heat and cover with oil. Add the bread and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown. For a richer flavor you can add a pat of butter after you turn the slice.

Crack the egg straight into the pan with the fried bread and leave for 30 seconds. Add a pat of butter and lightly splash/baste the egg with the butter after melted. Cook and season, then remove from heat.

Heat the baked beans in a saucepan and serve on top of the fried bread. Serve your English Breakfast immediately on warm plates.

Flan - Peruvian Dessert

Flan is a baked egg custard similar to crème caramel. It is made with eggs, cream or milk, gelatin and vanilla. Flan is synonymous with crème caramel because it includes a layer of burnt or caramelized sugar on the bottom. There is also crunchy sugar on top. Flan is a popular dessert in Latin American countries made in a mold, but its origin is French, which are made in pie dishes. Latin American restaurants make the distinction between regular flan and dulce de leche, flan served with a milk caramel sauce. This recipe was made by my Peruvian grandmother.

Ingredients:

1/4 Cup sugar
4 eggs
1 Cup fat-free milk
1 Cup evaporated fat-free milk or fat-free milk
1/4 Cup sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla
Dash salt

Directions:

1. To caramelize sugar, in a small heavy skillet cook 1/4 cup sugar over medium-high heat until sugar begins to melt, shaking skillet occasionally to heat sugar evenly. Do not stir. Reduce heat to low and cook about 5 minutes more or until all of the sugar is melted and golden.

2. Quickly pour caramelized sugar into an 8x1-1/2-inch round baking pan, tilting pan to coat bottom (use a pot holder if pan becomes too hot).

3. In a mixing bowl beat eggs. Stir in skim milk, evaporated skim milk, 1/4 cup sugar, the vanilla, and salt. Pour into sugar-coated pan.

4. Set the round pan in a large baking pan set on an oven rack. Pour hot water into the large baking pan around the round pan to a depth of 1 inch.

5. Bake, uncovered, in a 325 degree F oven about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center of the custard comes out clean. Carefully remove from pan of water. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover flan and refrigerate 4 to 8 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

6. Loosen flan from side of pan. Carefully invert onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges. If desired, garnish with edible flowers. Makes 8 servings.

Tacos Dorados- Mexican Hard Taco Recipe

This is a unique Mexican taco recipe, not your ordinary meat or chicken taco. It's a delicious vegetarian hard taco recipe.
If you prefer a meat hard taco, brown 1Lb. of ground sirloin and substitute it for the potatoes. You can also fill these hard shells with grilled chicken. This recipe was given to me by Yoli Gonzalez.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tablespoons margarine
• 6 potatoes
• Lettuce
• Sour cream
• Parmesan cheese, grated
• 10-12 corn tortillas
• Extra light olive oil (optional)
• Salt and Pepper

Salsa:
• 2 Jalapeno peppers, chopped
• 3-4 Tomatoes, diced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 of an Onion, chopped
• Cilantro, small bunch, chopped

Preparation:

Peel and cut potatoes in small pieces, steam until soft. Wash all the vegetables. Chop the lettuce. Boil the jalapenos and tomatoes. In a bowl mix potatoes and margarine, with salt and pepper to taste. Mash potatoes and cheese

Place the tortillas in a sandwich bag and microwave for 40 seconds to make them soft. Spread the potato mixture in the tortillas and fold. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, fry the tacos turn when they are golden brown. On a cooling rack or large platter place some napkins to soak up the extra oil from the fried tortillas.

With a fork blend jalapenos, tomatoes, salt and pepper, garlic, onion and cilantro. Serve tacos on a plate, garnish with lettuce, sour cream, parmesan cheese, salsa, and avocados.

Unveiling the Secrets of the Red Carpet


Skirtless outfit Elise Overland Fall 2008 Collection




Glitzy, glamorous - perfectly coutured, dazzling from hair to toe, the A-list celebrities make their way up the red carpet.


As countless photographers shout instructions to the celebs, lights embellish the celebrities as they walk past background banners embodied with the logos of event sponsors.


Whether it's a movie opening or the biggest red carpet event of them all - the Academy Awards, the A-List celebrities of tinsel town parade before the cameras and the tv spot lights.


But behind this beautifully crafted fairy tale façade, is a deeper and sinister side.


The side of the red carpet that few outsiders ever know.


The side of the red carpet that only a daughter, born of a Oscar winning director and a cover model mother, could know.






Runway Photos from Fashion Week New York Fall 2008


For in this town, being on the A-list is not a guarantee of a daughter's success.


In fact, a famous daughter may just have to survive by selling her mother's last season's hand me downs Chanel on eBay just to pay the rent.


Try having every Hollywood connection in the world and still being a total failure.


This is the story of a daughter of Hollywood legends who yearn for success and love, but fail to find it, until.


Until, she teams up with a hot, yet unknown fashion designer who is trying to get his designs on the backs of the Academy Awards nominatives.


Find out what it takes to score an Academy Awards nominative to wear a unknown designer's outfit in this novel that leaves nothing to the imagination except who the real life inspirations for the characters were.






In their first book - CELEBUTANTES, two daughters of Hollywood icons Amanda Goldberg and Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper reveal the deep, dark secrets behind the Red Carpet fashions.


Amanda Goldberg, daughter of legendary film and television producer Leonard Goldberg, has been called "One to Watch" by Vogue and has landed on Harper's Bazaar's "Best Dressed" List. After working with acclaimed designer Todd Oldham, Goldberg joined her father's production company where she was the Associate Producer on the blockbuster film Charlie's Angels.

She started her career in production at Radical Media in New York City and went on to produce and co-star with her father in the critically acclaimed independent film Americano.
