keeping it simple..

Cooking is really an easy and very enjoyable task that has the end result of satisfying your taste. In a more formal way cooking is a creative art, and as long as you like ..cooking, the creations never end. Your reward for that, satisfaction..by trying something you've personally created, fun during the process and of course your pleased guests.

In writing this blog I am terrified to let go of these recipies, but if I succeed in making people who say 'I can't cook' to be able to join in the fun..then its worth all the effort! Everyone can cook. People who say 'I can't cook' in fact should say 'I don't want to cook'. To be honest, since my divorce, cooking has been my most pleasurable past time activity. Topping it all up with the surprise of tasting the food afterwards..and believe me every time is different.

I must admit that even now I do not have my mums flare in feeding lots of important people, but my kitchen can host anyone in my family or circle of friends. Sometimes I find myself finding excuses to feed people..like the old fashioned greek woman..type.

Now, in the honour of the french croque monsieur, and the italian flavour in a drop of oil, there's a little snack recipie that is actually going to satisfy the most demanding taste.

A piece of bread only!

Cut rounds of crusty bread
Cheese any
Tomatoes
Dried thyme
Salt and pepper
Sliced olives

Put a pan with a bit of olive oil on the hob and fry both sides of the bread round, one minute of frying altogether. Sprinkle some cheese on top of each slice and cut up tomatoe on top. Sprinkle some thyme and add sliced olives if you wish. Put under the grill till the cheese looks golden. Take them out and eat carefully. A glass of red wine will also go very well with it. Molto gusto!
