Icelandic Thunderbread
This dense, mildly sweet, hearty rye bread is traditionally prepared over the course of 12 or more hours by placing the dough into covered pots and sinking these into geothermal springs. It’s sliced thin and served with smoked, cured, or pickled foods
Vegan Korean kimchi
Kimchi is a fermented food, which makes it an excellent probiotic. The same lactobacilli bacteria you find in yogurt and other fermented dairy products are also found in kimchi. These so-called ‘healthy bacteria’ in kimchi can help you maintain a healthy digestion.
Italian Three Flavour Focaccia
For our Bread Project, we photographed and tasted delicious focaccia in Matera, Italy. When staying at our family house in France, I love to prepare this focaccia, an Italian flat bread made with yeast and olive oil and flavoured with herbs, out in the open in our garden.
Indian 'kicheri'
On Saturday, It’s 'kicheri day' at our Duniya Education School in Varanasi, India. Almost 100 happy kids queue in front of the washing tub in the courtyard, to wash their hands and to grab a large metal thali plate from the basket, to get a big scoop of kicheri, dished out by cook Anju
Vietnamese coconut balls
This is an adjusted version of a recipe I noted down in Vietnam where they used sweetened condensed milk instead of coconut cream. I also added the 85% chocolate. You can even make a yellow version by adding some kurkuma! Or red with beetroot! Play around and enjoy.
Indian Chapati
Chapati is perhaps the most popular type of bread in India. Even very young girls bake them with the greatest ease on open fires or on a chulha and often laugh at my misshapen tryouts. It's not so easy to make a perfect, beautifully round chapati with the simplest of ingredients!
Indian 'badan doodh'
Badam doodh (almond milk) is a popular Indian drink where almonds are blended with milk and flavored with saffron and cardamom. Prepared the traditional way, it’s made with whole cow milk and quite a lot of sugar, which makes it not only rich in texture, but for sure also in calories.
Siggi's Thunder Bread
I was really looking forward to see how thunderbread, rúgbrauð” or “hverabrauð, was prepared. This is how! Meet Siggi from Iceland.
