Delicio Recipe List

During the school holidays, we decided to visit Sri Lank, much to the surprise of one of my  friends from the school group. " most parents in our school doesnt go to sri lanka"? I was like , whats wrong with Sri Lanka? ".   We don't visit Sri Lanka that often, the last time we went was two years ago and that was for my father's heart bypass surgery, so it wasn't really a vacation , the kids were stuck in an apart ment and kept them selves entertained indoors. So this time , I booked a tour with Aitken Spence   Travels to tour the hillside towns of Nuwara elliya and Kandy.  The tour operator was very helpful but its pricey so I would advise  parents with slightly older kids to take it so you can go on long hikes and all. Maybe next time I will just book one of the taxi services  like Kangaroo Kabs  to the hill towns, but over all it was a nice trip. Our journey started on a  bright hot sunny day, arrived in Colombo in the afternoon and was me...

A few weeks ago, I made cheese fondue for the first time in many years and loved it (see Family Fondue )! But I also have fond memories of eating beef fondue as a child, so I found some recipes and gave it a try. Two thumbs way up! Part of it is just that I like the fondue experience itself--sitting around a table with family or friends and chatting while you cook your food and eat it. But the fondue itself is very tasty. The meal seemed to be a hit with everyone. Two changes I may make the next time I do this. First, I think I may marinate half of the meat and leave the other half unmarinated, so that the flavors of the sauces come out more. Second, I'd like to try cooking the meat in broth rather than vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is the tradition I grew up with, but I presume it is less healthy than broth, and the oil spattered a little every now and then. Anyway, you should give this try. Definitely worth it and fun idea for a family or small group of guests. 3/4 cup reduced-so...

In Maldives we get tuna fresh from the surrounding sea and although we make it into curries and smoke them, I wanted to make something different. I saw this recipe , via pinterest where some white fish is cooked with white beans in tomato sauce and flavored with basil.  I decided to use tuna instead and basil can be easily found  in Maldives, White beans is not especially in the islands. So the second time I did this recipe I used a can of baked beans. I drained (yes I can hear a few gasps) the tomato sauce and used just the beans instead. I used a chilli to give a bit of heat . It was a delicious dish and great to go with bread and takes little time to make too . Recipe  Tuna and Bean Stew  recipe inspired from Garlic Basil  Baramundi stew recipe from Pinch of Yum.

Yes, finally back to blogging , but suffering from a severe cold and cough, so my mind is a bit fuzzy. So how was the holidays! Now its back to reality and the school runs and other daily activities!. You know I noticed I say a lot of times," a handful or two "of something , well I never realized this until my hubby one day  brought it to my notice. He was out doing some grocery shopping and I asked him to bring a handful of chillies, He had taken out 9 year old little guy with him. He calls me up and goes , "whose hand am I to use, my hand size,  little guy or  yours (meaning me although my little guy's hands are almost my hand size now)??" So really it did get me thinking, I mean even Jamie Oliver sometimes  says take a couple of handfuls  and I pretty sure his hands are pretty big. Pasta is a favorite in my home, I usually cook it for dinner and these days I prefer to skip the tomato sauce and stick to simple flavours.  I came up with this recipe while t...
