MY TOP TEN RECIPES OF 2006

As a new year has started and 2006 is already far away (well, not quite), many food bloggers are posting their "Top Ten Recipes Of 2006". Vanessa of the captivating "Confiture Maison" blog kindly invited me to take part in this game, so it is the occasion for me to submit my own list of dishes that particularly struck my attention in 2006.

It was very difficult for me to choose only ten favorite recipes or dishes, because last year was full of positive surprises and interesting discoveries. I loved every single recipe I posted!!!

All in all, 2006 was fantastic food-wise and I hope that 2007 will be as exciting for my palate as the preceding year...

Bon appétit!!!

Cantuccini or Italian Almond Biscotti

"Those cookies will delight all foodies in search of a delicate treat to end their afternoon or dinner in beauty..."
**********

"...'Salmon Poke' is fresh, quite simple, yet flavorful, delicate and perfectly harmonious."

"Although there is no meat in a "Matzah Ball", those dumplings have a very pleasant meaty taste (a cross between chicken and veal) that is even more pronounced when they are fried..."
**********

Banh Xeo or Vietnamese Stuffed Pancakes
(see recipe)
"This crisp golden pancake is a tantilizing example of how the food from Vietnam can be delicate and yet loaded with flavors. Eating 'Banh Xeo' is a pure sensual experience..."

"...a 'Tex Mex Cornbread' which would remind us of scrummy foods like picadillo, burritos, chilli con carne, etc..."

**********
