Peckish Sister's Profile

About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Manchester Stew from Skinny Instant Pot & Slow Cooker Cookbook

Crisp Sesame-Semolina Flatbreads

A great use of that semolina flour (it takes half semolina and half regular flour) left over from the Moroccan cooking challenge. This is a simple and interesting recipe. There is no leavening agent, but the dough is left to rest at several intervals. My only pasta machine is dedicated to Fimo clay, so I rolled the crackers by hand in a circle. I liked using a single piece of parchment paper for each one; it made it easy to roll out and get on and off of the pizza stone. Timing is critical. I had a few get over cooked and a few were undercooked and not quite crispy. I used the black sesame seeds she suggested for the first batch and cumin seeds for the second batch. They were both excellent. My third batch with half unhulled sesame seeds and half cumin seeds was my favorite.
