Weekend recipes & stuff

Cucumber Raitha by François-Xavier at fxcuisine.com. I tip my hat and dip my naan :)

Just a quickie again: had to share these blogs and their fab recipes. To be honest, I've not tried the Spanish one yet but it all looks dreamily familiar... just looking at the index has me lusting after butifarra, arroz a la cubana and lashings of pimienton picante. The title, Las Recetas de Mama, says what it is: a homesick Cordobese is progressively posting all his mother's recipes for us all to enjoy. Check it out before she cottons on why he's on the phone so much these days and clips his ear for him.

The other one is a bit different, in fact it really is something else... I made this guy's cucumber raitha for a curry night last week and it was sublime. His photographs are very nice too. If you've ever tried to make raitha and come up with something you thought was pretty good, you'll hate him. If you've ever wished you had a ready way of photographing your better culinary creations, you'll want to track him down and kill him. His amazing blog is here. His utterly infuriating About page is here. I'm still trying to find his home address... ;) He merits a permanent place among the Canny Good Links, I think.

Finally, there are some more iPhone moments on the November Picasa page.

Bon profit!
