I had an exchange on Twitter with a friend on Twitter doesn’t like food that comes out of the microwave.

Linda’s Microwave Fish Fillets
Wednesday is recipe day at Cooking Manager. This is from my friend Linda, who says it tastes better than it sounds. Actually, fish comes out moist and tasty in the microwave because it is equivalent to steaming. Baking can dry fish out, if you’re not careful. Ingredients: 1/2 kg. or 1 lb. fish fillets (e.g. […]

Red Snapper with Lemon and Dill
Wednesday is Recipe Day at CookingManager.Com.
Yesterday I went for a walk to our local shuk (open air market).
I wasn’t in the mood to cook, so when I passed the fish stand I knew that’s what I would get. Fresh fish is so easy to make, and the red snapper cost only $5 for three medium-sized fish.

Reader Interview: Ilana-Davita
Welcome Ilana-Davita from France for this week’s reader interview:
1. Name, location, family: Ilana-Davita, France, me and my partner whose grown-up kids have left the house.

My mother loved cooking, she still does, and she was an example to me. Even now whenever she goes to the hairdresser,’s she looks at the magazines and copies recipes that she will adapt. She never follows a recipe to the letter.

While you don’t want to run out of food, too much also causes problems of storage, waste, and spoilage. Sometimes I estimate by extrapolating from the amounts that my family eats. Or I compare quantities from similar recipes found in […]
