It's located in the south-east of Austria and famous for its apples and pumpkins. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkin_seed_oil" target="_blank">Pumpkin seed oil</a> originated in Styria, but is now known and loved all over Austria. It's dark brown-green in color and rich and delicious in taste. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whenever you read "Styrian salad" on an Austrian menu, it's prepared with pumpkin seed oil. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<li>1 large white onion</li>
<li>150 millilitres vegetable stock</li>
<li>3 table spoons vegetable oil (I usually use rapeseed oil) </li>
<li>3 table spoons pumpkin seed oil </li>
<li>3 table spoons brandy vinegar</li>
<li>3 table spoons pumpkin seeds </li>
<li>salt</li>
<li>black pepper</li>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Fold the potatoes in the marinade and let it sit for a couple of minutes to cool down as much you like. Traditionally Austrian potato salad is served warm, but it's also delicious when it's cold. If necessary, add some more salt and pepper.</div><br />

<br />
<ul><li>500 grams potatoes </li>
<li>300 grams carrots</li>
<li>1 large white or yellow onion</li>
<li>500 millilitre vegetable stock *)</li>
<li>3 table spoons vegetable oil </li>
<li>1/2 tea spoon dried dill</li>

Usually dashi is made using konbu seaweed and bonito fish blakes, but I'm not a big fan of fish, so I usually make vegan dashi using konbu seasweed and dried shiitake mushrooms. Of course, this is not the original - but it tastes delicious and goes really well with any kind of Japanese dish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I usually prepare 2,5 litres of dashi at once and freeze it in ice cube forms. You can store it up to 6 months in the freezer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

My camera's working again, and therefore I can continue blogging. And I just picked up my first <a href="http://www.glossybox.at/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> ever from the post office. A couple of weeks ago I decided that 2012 will be a glamurous year and so I subscribed to the Glossy Box. This is the Austrian January/Valentine's Day box. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I bought a relly nice nail polish today at <a href="http://www.bipa.at/" target="_blank">BIPA</a>. It's a really pretty nude color by GOSH cosmetics that's called 595 Miss Sweety. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is my first GOSH nail polish and I was really curious about it, at it was not exactly expensive (€ 8.49) and it turned out to be a really positive surprise. It's really opaque, the brush has a good quality, the color is perfect and it dries really fast.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nude tones are perfect for black and white nail stickers, so I tried a couple of different ones. Which one do you like the best? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I used the following products: </div><ul><li>Nude nail polish: <b>GOSH 595 Miss Sweety</b></li>
<li>Clear top coat: <b>essence quick dry topcoat</b></li>
<li>Stickers: <b>Blue Elf Beautynail </b>and <b>Pro Art</b></li>
</ul>And here's how to do it:<br />
<ul><li>Apply nude nail polish twice, let it dry really well.</li>
<li>Stick the stickers to your nails.</li>
<li>Apply a layer of top coat. </li>
</ul>Yours,<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Yeah, I know it's winter. But there's nothing like a little bit of Summer feeling when it's snowing outside. <br />
<br />
Youghurt soups are popular all over the Middle East and Turkey. This recipe comes from a friend of mine, who lives in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Originally this kind of soups (and many others) is made with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freekeh">frîka</a>, but this is really hard to get here in Austria. So I tried to use dried unripe spelt grain (German: Grünkern) instead - and it worked perfecty. It does taste different to frîka, but both taste good in this soup.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Shakshûka is a dish Tunisian origins, that is now a staple of Tunisian, Algerian, and Moroccan cuisines, and is also popular in Israel. It's originally hot or very hot with chilies in the tomato sauce, but for breakfast I prefer a milder version. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">By the way, it's not only great for breakfast or brunsh, but whenever you want a good, healthy & fast meal. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, it's another soup recipe. I don't know how you feel about it, but in Winter I'm really into soups and eat some rich soup almost every day. Soups keep you warm and are the perfect Winter dish. </div><br />
This is a Turkish lentil soup, I followed recipe I gor from my friend Hatice and it's not only one of the best, but also the fastest lentil soup recipes I know. <br />

Minestrone is a very popular Italian vegetable and pasta soup. There are as many recipes for Minestrone as there are Italians. This version is really fast and easy to prepare. I usually cook this soup after a long day of work when I don't feel like spending a long time in the kitchen.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I'm lazy today, slept long, and plan do to kind of nothing today. I just want to relax, have a cup of tea and read a good book - and that's what I'm doing right now. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I decided on some <b>black tea (Twinings English Breakfast), cooked with a cinnamon stick and some honey</b>. As for reading, I chose <b>Patricia Cornwell's "De Brandhaard"</b> in Dutch, the original title is "Point of Origin". </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vandaag ben ik lui. Ik heb lang geslapen en zal niets doen behalve lekker relaxen, een kopje thee drinken en een goed boek lezen - en dat doe ik nu. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ik heb <b>zwarte thee (Twinings English Brekfast) met een kaneelpijp en wat hoening</b> gekookt en ik lees <b>"De Brandhaard" van Patricia Cornwell</b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I found the basis for this recipe in the little cookbook "Cooking of the Gulf" and changed it a little to better suit my taste (more! saffron!!). In Arabic it is called <b>Ruz Buhârî</b> (رز بخاري), which means "Rice from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukhara" target="_blank">Bukhara</a>". This is a very typical Saudi Arabian dish and a staple for any Saudi. Other versions of this dish are popular everywhere in the middle east. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I really like Ruz Buhârî, it's easy to prepare and tastes delicious sweet&sour and has a slightly decadent taste because of all the spices and especcialy the saffron.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</ul>Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until water is clear. Cook rice in water until "al dente" and drain it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In a frying pan over medium heat, heat to butter and fry the meat until browned. Add baharât and rice.

<div style="text-align: justify;">In Arabic this dish is called <b>aruz bi-halîb </b>(أرز بحليب), which means "rice with milk". In Saudi Arabia this dish is prepared using Basmati rice, but I usually use whole grain brown rice. I think it tastes great with this recipe.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Actually, "shurba" means just "soup", but when people talk about "shurba", they almost always talk about this kind of soup. There's a different recipe in every country, every region - even in every family - how to prepare it.My version is fast & easy to prepare. You can also add some vermicelli to it.</div><br />
This soup is traditinally served for iftâr, the evening meal when Muslims break their fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sorry for not posting for such a long time, December was a hell of a month but things are getting better now. Today I decided to make myself a wellness-and-beauty-evening at home and did my nails. There's no snow in Austria at the moments, but still - it's winter! So I need snowflakes on my nails! I'm also really into pink and purple, so I decided to make pink nails with purple glitter.<br />
<br />
I followed the instructions of <a href="http://www.misschievous.tv/2011/12/sparkly-glitter-christmas-nails.html" target="_blank">MissChievous' Sparkly Glitter Christmas Nails tutorial</a> - and I think the result wasn't to bad for the first try! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I used the following products: </div><ul><li>Pink nail polish: <b>MNY Maybelline New York 261</b></li>
<li>Clear top coat: <b>essence quick dry topcoat</b></li>
<li>Purple glitter: <b>De Cortions AD</b></li>
<li>Snowflake stickers: <b>Blue Elf Beautynail</b></li>
</ul>And here's how to do it:<br />
<ul><li>Apply pink nail polish twice, let it dry really well.</li>
<li>Stick the snowflakes to your nails. Use larger ones on larger nails and smaller ones on smaller nails. </li>
<li>Apply one layer of top coat, let it dry until it's still sticky but no longer wet. </li>
<li>Apply the pink glitter on the tips using a soft eye shadow brush. </li>
<li>Apply another layer of top coat. </li>
</ul>Yours,<br />

<br />
When I cook chicken Cacciatore, I usually use a very easy yet very delicious recipe I found on the <a href="http://www.azcookbook.com/azeri/ovcusayagi-toyuq/">Azerbaijani Cookbook Blog</a> (a great blog by the way, I follow the Azerbaijani site to practice my Azerbaijani and find out about new great recipes - but there's also an English version of the blog. Go there! Read it!). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
The original Azerbaijani recipe is:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><i><b>Ərzaqlar:</b></i><br />
<ul><li><i><b> </b>Bir ədəd kilo yarımlıq toyuq - tikələrə bölün</i></li>
<i> </i>
<li><i> 1 ədəd iri soğan - 8 yerə bölün</i></li>
<li><i> 2 ədəd quru dəfnə yarpağı</i></li>
<li><i> 2 zoğ təzə rozmarin</i></li>
<li><i> 2 xörək qaşığı kərə yağı - xırda kubiklərə doğrayın</i></li>
<li><i> Yarım kilo pomidor (5-7 ədəd) - soyun, ikiyə bölün, iridirlərsə, hər yarını 3-4 yerə bölün</i></li>
<li><i> Zövqə görə duz və istiot</i></li>
<li><i> Dörtdə bir stəkan zeytun yağı</i></li>
<i><b> </b></i></ul></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i><b> </b><b>Hazırlanma Qaydası:</b> </i></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i><b> </b>Sobanı 205Cdək qızdırın. Ölçüləri 33 x 22 X 5 sm olan soba istisinə dəyanıqlı tavanı/qabı (mən istiyə dəyanıqlı şüşə qabda bişirirəm).</i><br />
<i>Buraya əvvəlcə toyuq və soğanı yerləşdirin. Dəfnə yarpağı və rozmarini toyuq və soğanın arasında yeləşidrin. Üstünə kərə yağını yerləşdirin. Pomidorları kəsilmiş tərəfi aşağıda olmaq şərtilə toyuğun ətrafında şəkildə gördüyünüz kimi düznü. Toyuğun üstünə zeytun yağı tökün. Duz və istiotlayın. Yeməyi sobada toyuğun üstü bir az qızarana və yeməyin suyu çıxanadək bişirin, təxminən bir saat yarım ərzində.</i></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div>But this time, things are slightly different I had some stomach problems during the last days and didn't feel well at all, so I decided to prepare chicken Cacciatore using no oil or other fat and using whatever I had at home. I really didn't feel like going shopping. So this isn't really Cacciatore, but it's still really good! My changed version of Chicken Cacctiatore is: <br />
