winter holiday

Slough Food will be closed from Monday the 18th of January through Thursday the 28th.  Slough Food will re-open Friday the 29th of January.  Thank you.

Happy New Year – 2010!

Slough Food wishes all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

We had bouillabaisse for New Year’s Eve Dinner.  Just wanted to show off the delicious photo.

For wine, there were several, but we did enjoy the last two in this photo:  1.5 liter bottles of Henriot Brut and the Denogent Pouilly Fuisse Cuvee Claude Denogent.

Salute!

Say Cheese!

A customer told me that when in Greece, to get you to smile for a photograph, they ask:  “Say Halloumi!”.  Even without the camera, Halloumi makes me smile.  From the Island of Cyprus, this sheep/goat’s milk cheese is a staple in many Mediteranean diets.  Halloumi makes a fabulous meat substitute.

We prepare the cheese by slicing it in long strips.

Then lay them in the non stick pan with a touch of olive oil on medium high heat.  Let them be for a couple minutes, but keep an eye on them.

You’ll see the edges brown.  With a spatula or tongs, flip ‘em.

 When the other sides brown, they are ready to serve.  We usually finish them with a generous showering of fresh squeezed lemon juice.  Eat them off a platter (like fries!) for an appetizer, or, as we recently enjoyed, serve on a fresh spinach salad with a side of wild California rice.  Say Halloumi!
