Food'N'Flix Invitation: A Touch of Spice


You're invited! It's my turn to host Food'N'Flix where we watch movies and head into the kitchen and cook or bake or make something based on a recipe they actually make in it or just something we were driven to make after watching it.

This month, I've selected A Touch of Spice*. Truth be told: I haven't actually seen it yet, but I've read about it. And I'm always game for something about food, family, and history. So, I hope you'll join me, watch the movie, and be inspired to whip up something fabulous.

A Touch of Spice is a story about a young Greek boy growing up in Istanbul. His grandfather, a culinary philosopher and mentor, teaches him that both food and life require a little salt to give them flavor. Fanis grows up to become an excellent cook and uses his cooking skills to spice up the lives of those around him. Upon leaving reuniting with his grandfather, three decades later, he realize that his own life need a touch of spice!

  1. Thanks for being our host this month, Camilla. I watched this for the first time last month - so much inspiration! Can't wait to see the recipes this film inspires.

  2. I have been unable to get hold of the DVD in English subtitles that will play in the UK, so am a little sad that I won'd be either to enjoy the movie which looks fantastic by the way from the trailer, and also that I won't be able to join in this month foodnflix.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
