    Miscellaneous Recipes

    Here you will find a large range of recipes which do not fit into the 'ancient' theme of the remainder of the recipes on this site. In essence these recipes represent a sampling of the several thousand recipes that I've gathered, adapted and personally cooked over the years. Many of these recipes originate with University friends who helped engender my interest in world cuisine. Others come from exchanging recipes on the internet or going through recipe books to search for things that work (and things that don't) and are the results of my own experiments and modifications on these recipes. Yet others are things that I've tried and which turned out so well that I decided to write them up.

    I have a passion for food and cookery that is (hopefully) bolstered by a formal scientific training that lets me know what's happening when food cooks. This is one reason why Roman cookery with it's balancing of salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami flavours is so fascinating (the same balancing is also present in Thai cuisine) and I want to bring this approach to the balancing of flavours to traditional Western and to fusion foods.


    Like all the main period sections on this site the recipes in this 'Miscellaneous Foods' section are broken down into meal components. Simply click on the meal component on the left-hand column (eg 'Meat Courses') to be taken to a page that lists all the recipes for that particular element of a meal.







    You can also easily find any of the recipes on this site using the recipe search page.

    I am also making a number of conversion tables available for converting between Volumes, Mass/Weight and Temperatures.
