Curry page of this site, you'll know that my first experiences
of the dish were of the generic variety which the British

and decided that as I couldn't afford to eat out that much, I
needed to learn how to cook the stuff myself.
My first stop then, was a local bookshop, where the choice of
books on Indian ...

The Amish have fascinated the modern world for years. They live
a life completely foreign to the rest of us, and while we
wouldn't necessarily wish to live as they live, we can't help
but admire their faith and commitment.
The Amish trace their origins to 16th century Europe, more
specifically to the Protestant Reformation. This origianal group
of believers were called "Mennonites," after Menno Simons, one
of their leaders (a former Roman Catholic Priest). They believed

My mother used to say, "I could do without bread, but not
without potatoes." Austria´s domestic cooking was based on what

took almost half a century for European rulers to discover that
they could feed their people by widespread cultivation of
potatoes.
Through experience and creativity, the potato became a main
ingredient in many Austrian recipes, not only as a ...
