]]> Comment on Raclette with friends by alan http://foodnobody.wordpress.com/2007/05/12/raclette-with-friends/#comment-289 alan Sat, 13 Sep 2008 19:17:27 +0000 http://foodnobody.wordpress.com/2007/05/12/raclette-with-friends/#comment-289 Hi Foodnobody Great article / site - have to agree - raclette is an excellent dish and borough market is a great place to try it. Tried it first in Verbier, Switzerland where you could try to beat the restaurant record set for the number of servings of cheese portions brought to your table by a waiter - one more every time your plate emptied until you either stopped him or keeled over!! Friends gave me an electric raclette grill for xmas a couple of years ago and we now have it fairly regularly in the winter - easy to get the cheese, whether whole or sections (or in slices). This 8 person grill goes with us when we go skiing and is a bit different to the traditional fondue. Now fellow raclette fans - I am currently looking for a gas fired raclette grill - if anyone out there knows where I can get my hands on one please send me the details!! I have had a good look in the web. A mug of Monmouth filter coffee in Borough Market is a great start to the morning too. Keep the site up A Hi Foodnobody

You must be so excited (terrified, but also excited!!) How about adding cottage pie to your list; or lots of plain white fish fillets that you can defrost and then bake in oven topped with tomato & cheese; or spinach and feta? Quick, easy and healthy! Or my favourite easy peasy standby - oven bake a few chicken thighs in a bottle of Nando's basil, sun-dried tomato & peri-peri sauce and freeze for later. Congratulations!!

I have always loved spicy, cinnamony buns and these look too gorgeous. With a cup of coffee, I can't think of anything nicer... Not sure if you saw but while you've been away from the blog (ahem!) I have put together a directory of SA food and wine bloggers (http://cooksister.typepad.com/sa_food_and_wine) and your blog is on it! There's also a badge that you can display on your blog, and I am doing weekly profiles of bloggers (see the Backsberg one that went up yesterday as an example) - if you'd like me to do one on your blog, let me know and I will send you the questions via e-mail.

Hope you are well? I wanted to let you know I have created a directory of SA food and wine blogs as a sort of central repository for all things SA and edible - here's the link: http://cooksister.typepad.com/sa_food_and_wine I would also like to spotlight a blogger each week by getting them to tell us a little bit about themselves - if you are keen to play along and hopefully get a bit of exposure, the questions are below: 1. Where are you – in South Africa or out in the wide world? 2. How long have you been blogging? 3. What do you enjoy the most about food or wine blogging? 4. Any downsides or frustrations? 5. What or who are your inspirations to cook, drink and write? 6. Where and when do you like to blog? 7. What's your signature dish or favourite wine? 8. What other food or wine blogs do you read? 9. Favourite restaurant? 10. For my last meal on this planet I would order… If you have any other suggestions as to what we might want to have appearing on the blog, SA foodie events or news, please feel free to let me know - all suggestions welcome! Many thanks, Jeanne Hi Indressa
