“An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” or so it has been claimed. According to legend, the only time Johnny Appleseed got sick was at the time of his death. Since he was born on September 26, 1774 and lived until 1845, that is over 70 years without being sick.

Absolutely my favourite...Marg's butter tarts...to die for folks.

This delicious entry was a well deserved first place winner. Not only does the cheese represent food for the mice, but everything you see- from the table to the cheese and even the mice themselves- are all edible! That is one of the rules of the gingerbread contest.

Fresh strawberries from our backyard.

Doing it's "duty"--pollinating one of the apple blossoms on our espalier apple tree. Without their pollination the world's production of food would be in jeapordy.

Grapes can be eaten raw or used for making jam, juice, jelly, vinegar, wine, grape seed extracts and grape seed oil. Grapes are also used in some kinds of candy.

Food in a few months--if pollination is successful.

Adana Kebab is a long, charcoal grilled, minced meat brochette mounted on a wide skewer.Ideally the meat is hand chopped but often you will find it machine ground in a single pass, mixed with fat in a proportion of one to five. Only salt and dried red pepper flakes (sweet or hot according to taste) are added to the meat. Red bell pepper can be hand chopped into very small pieces and be used instead of chili pepper. 4 or 5 ounces (100 or 150 grams) of meat are mounted on a special skewer which is about 3 feet (0.91 m) long (80-90 cm) and about an inch wide (2.0-2.5 cm). Then it is grilled over hot charcoal.

Sweet pastry featured in many cuisines of the former Ottoman countries. It is a pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped walnuts or pistachios and sweetened with syrup or honey.The history of baklava is not well-documented; it has been claimed by many ethnic groups, the best evidence is that it is of Central Asian Turkic origin, with its current form being developed in the imperial kitchens of the Topkapı Palace. Gaziantep, a city in Turkey, is famous for its baklava and, in Turkey, is widely regarded as the native city of the dessert.

His birthday is next month so I dedicate this cake to my son.

All varieties found in the mediterranean,we eat them between meals...

Prepared with butter and lots of walnuts and pistachio.

blueberries remind me of summer

...sure, why not?!...

Except we ate it there. My very talented Daughter-in-law made this for my birthday. Camera, PC, suitcases, binoculars all made by hand & edible. The globe is sponge cake the maps marzipan & icing. The base is fruit cake. No other album to put it in, but thought someone might like to see it.

Not just any burger

Ok, this obviously is not a "photography" shot :-) It's meant as inspiration for all of us who are getting tired of Winter - or if you (like me) are gearing up for some serious Alpine experience. What the picture is about? My favorite recipe for....: Gl�hwein! Ok, this is how I do it (recipe yields one serving, I usually make about 4 servings): About 4 teaspoons of brown sugar in a pan. Put it on high heat and let caramelize (melt it but don't burn it!!). Pour in the red wine (watch out - that will give a lot of steam - don't burn your fingers!). Add the peel of about 1/2 orange (or 1 mandarin), about 1/2 a stick of cinnamon and 1 or 2 cloves. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat. Add a good shot of Kirsch (cherry schnapps) - the more the merrier :-). Strain and serve - drink as hot as you dare!

I am sorry but NO Cinnamon in this one, no one in the Family likes Cinnamon. SORRY DAVE LOL

This was my 1st course as I bravely tasted the dried caviar powder and decided that I would not like pasta made with that really fishy taste.

An important part of Indian cuisine, recipes vary from region to region and family to family, but typically it is made from lentil, chickpea, black gram or rice flour. The dough is shaped into a thin, round flat bread and then dried (traditionally in the sun) and can be cooked by deep-frying, roasting over an open flame, toasting, or microwaving, depending on the desired texture.
