Great Application for iPAd – Jamie Oliver Recipes

Normally i don’t advertise iPad applications, but this one is really good!
I bought Jamie Oliver’s recipe application for iPad a couple of days back. The application is done extremely well and caters for experienced home chefs as well as for beginners.

The app features functions like:

- Shopping lists
- Equipment lists
- Step by step videos (so even if you never cooked, you can do it)
- Training videos for general kitchen routines
- Many pictures
- Favorites
- Cook for 2 or 4 switch (adjust the amount of ingredients needed)

When you download the application for free you get roughly 20 recipes for free.
The additional recipes you need to buy. They come in packs of 10 recipe and cost USD 1.99.

Some pictures:

Amazingly easy to make and stunning looking (and tasting) starter

I made a easy starter for a Italian dinner and thought i like to share this with you.


You need:

- Lemons (you will get 3 pieces out of one lemon)
- Mozzarella (“normal” or buffalo , depends on your taste)
- Pack basil leave
- 1 box cherry tomatoes
- 1 or 2 Anchovie tins
- Salt and Pepper
- Olive oil
- Baking tray and baking paper
- Oven :-)

Let’s get it done: 

First you need to cut the ends of the lemon off. Then you cut the lemons that you are left with wheels of lemons of approximately 2cm in width (look at the pictures then you know what i mean). Cut out the inner parts of the lemon wheels. (you don’t need the sour stuff :-) ). Now put the wheels on a tray with baking paper (below the wheels).

Fill in a small slice of mozzarella in every wheel. Put a half of an anchovy, some basil and a slice of a cherry tomato on top. Salt, Pepper and a splash of olive oil.

Cover with a slice of mozzarella. Pepper on top and if you like add a basil leave for decoration.

Slap it in the oven at 200 Celcius for 10-15 minutes. At the same time warm up some nice focaccia bread in the oven.

Take the lemons and bread out of the oven. Pass spoons around and slap the melted cheese on the bread.

Heaven with a glass a white wine.

Cheers
Daniel
