Tag Archives: feta I have been posting a lot of soup recipes lately now haven’t I? Probably because a good soup is comforting, warming and – not unimportantly – it is also very quick to make. So I love trying out new soup recipes for lunch. Especially now that the weather seems to go back into full wintermode...

I love soup too! The warm weather in Sydney allows me to have cold soups now and am thinking this would be good cold too! I’ve heard of spring on a plate. This is spring in a bowl! [Reply] 
Ben - February 10, 2010 - 20:27
You love Jamie, really? I couldn’t tell! LOL. And there’s nothing wrong with posting a lot of soups, specially when it is so cold and snowy (we have similar conditions here in Ohio). I really haven’t baked any sweets lately because I am too weak and would be munching on them all day long so I better stay away from them altogether. Happy belated birthday, btw! I am sorry I’ve been away for so long. It’ll take me a while to catch up with your delicious posts, my only source of sweets these days [Reply]

I need to get an iPhone – if only for the cooking apps! Interesting note, adding feta to the soup. People sometimes complain that pea soup lacks flavour, so this must add a nice kick! By the way, thank you for your kind words on my blog, regarding Q-Tip… Even when we know such things are bound to happen eventually, it’s still a shock when it does. But we heal, bit by bit. [Reply]

YUM Im loving the mint and feta in this! Gorgeous photo!!! [Reply] 
lo - February 10, 2010 - 22:50
Lovely photos — they make me YEARN for that really bright green that you really only see in the midst of spring… you know the one? Simply gorgeous. I can taste the feta and mint already! [Reply] 
Michelle - February 11, 2010 - 02:25
I have a recipe for pea soup that I love too, but your addition of feta and croutons on top really take it up a notch. Looks delicious! [Reply] 
deana@lostpastremembered - February 11, 2010 - 02:35
Love the color of the soup and the croutons look so good… great recipe! [Reply] 
Sarah G - February 11, 2010 - 03:04
This sounds good. I’ll have to try it. Also, I just bought a tripod, new lens and one light! Yeah, I’m getting there. [Reply]

Pea soup is so good!!! Especially on these cold days! Montreal is insanely warm for this time of year, it’s a really nice change, but I still crave soups, especially this pea soup! [Reply] 
nina - February 11, 2010 - 12:30
For now, I will have to have my soup chilled, it is extremely hot here at the moment!!!!! [Reply] 
Hannah - February 11, 2010 - 16:11
What a vibrant green color! This looks so much more delicious than any pea soup I’ve had the misfortune of having. [Reply] 
Lisa - February 11, 2010 - 17:03
Simone – when I think of pea coup..like many others I’m sure, I can’t help thinking of the Exorcist lol However, there’s no way Regan would be spewing that beautiful soup. It looks so delicate, creamy and delicious, not to mention bright green, unlike those olive pea soups you get in a can (bleccch). Finally, the 8 mac shells..nowhere near perfect. They just had one good side i could fake and get away with for photos lol [Reply] 
Stella - February 11, 2010 - 20:45
I love pea soup with mint. Never had it with feta, but I’m sure it’s good. Looks like it! [Reply] 
Asha@FSK - February 12, 2010 - 00:41
You know, I hate pea soups.. but that bowl over there just has me salivating! You are evil!!! [Reply] 
Koko - February 12, 2010 - 02:04
The picture is beautiful, and I know I will be making this. [Reply] 
Sarka - February 12, 2010 - 02:31
I love soups. Keep them posting! You are a wonderful source of soup inspiration! [Reply] 
peter - February 12, 2010 - 03:06
I’ve always loved mint and pea soup and Feta is such a natural bedfellow…a snug fit. [Reply]

Happy Valentine’s Day, Simone! Wish your life with Tom be filled with joy and love, and live together happily and lovingly ever after!! I admired this recipe and these photos. Love the props you chose: the plate is so beautiful (I want one for my props Sawadee from Bangkok, [Reply] 
Cherine - February 12, 2010 - 09:18
Happy Valentine’s day! Love your soup, ur photos are always mouth-watering!! [Reply] 
Jamie - February 12, 2010 - 10:20
Oh I LOVE pea soup and yours is more than tempting. What a great color! And paired with feta it can’t get any better than that! This one I’m definitely trying! [Reply] 
Maggie - February 12, 2010 - 15:36
What’s not to love about Jamie, we’ve been big fans since he burst Naked on the scene many years ago. The plus point about this soup is that it uses frozen peas, none of that old fashioned business of soaking hard dried peas overnight like our grandmothers had to do. [Reply] 
Unplanned Cooking - February 12, 2010 - 19:24
Yeah, I always find my quest to become a better cook at odds with my quest to lose weight… [Reply] 
Olga - February 13, 2010 - 04:19
ooh, I really like the photo of an empty soup bowl at the end of the post: you must have really liked it! I remember seeing Nigella make a pea soup once on TV and it looked great, as does yours. I should pick up a bag of frozen peas on my next trip to the store (I just ate my last ones w/salmon and broccoli) [Reply] 
Angela@spinachtiger - February 18, 2010 - 03:16
I love Jamie. I know I would love this soup. I think the feta is a great touch for pea soup. A ricotta salata would work also. I am so behind on the 2010 ten weeks thing myself. I’m not anywhere I thought I would be, so yes to starting over. [Reply]

 You know how you can sometimes see a photo of a certain dish in a magazine and you think ‘yes! That is going to be de-li-cious!!’ and then you go out and make it and are… well, hmmm, slightly disappointed. That happened to me today for my lunchdish of courgette feta cookies. I think I... 18 comments 
Meeta - September 17, 2009 - 15:04
am getting a huge supply of zucchini/courgettes lately so need all the recipes i need to use them soon. lovely recipe! [Reply] 
Soma - September 17, 2009 - 17:07
This sounds loaded with flavors – mint, sumac.. all my favorite things. The rice flour is to bind it better? Lately i have taken a fascination for the Turkish dip Acili, & I feel like dipping these in acili & eating them all up. [Reply] 
Nutmeg Nanny - September 17, 2009 - 17:49
I love that this has feta in it….one of my favorite cheeses:) [Reply]
nina - September 17, 2009 - 18:22
I have missed your recipes, I have missed your photos and I have missed you!!! This is a great snack to celebrate your return from holiday!!! [Reply] 
Sophie - September 17, 2009 - 18:40
I love courgettes in patties & to combine that with feta but taste fab! [Reply]
Olga - September 17, 2009 - 19:25
Sorry you were disapopinted. These look similar to zucchini latkes my dad makes (but he never adds feta, which I think is a GREAT addition). [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I think I definitely made the mistake of not squeezing enough of the water out. I only realized that while typing the recipe here! That must have accounted for some of the blandness… [Reply] 
FoodJunkie - September 17, 2009 - 19:35
Ah, you made courgette fritters! This is such a traditional Greek treat. If you are not happy with your recipe, try Kalofagas or Organically Cooked, I think they both have some nice versions on their blogs. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Thanks Jo, I will definitely have a look at Peter’s site… and I don’t know Organically Cooked yet, but will check there too! Just see which versions they have! [Reply] 
lisaiscooking - September 17, 2009 - 21:29
These do sound great with the sumac as an accent. Maybe a different cheese in the cookie and crumbled feta on top? [Reply]
lo - September 18, 2009 - 00:10
Looks like just the sort of recipe that could use a bit of simple invention to perk it up [Reply]
Koko - September 18, 2009 - 03:50
Looks are DEFINITELY deceiving because these look delicious! It’s always disappointing when an intriguing recipe just doesn’t turn out as good as expected. Love the honest review!! [Reply] 
Sweetie Pie - September 18, 2009 - 03:56
Oh, I hate when it happens that I try something that sounds good only to be disappointed. Having said that, these look pretty cool and I love the idea. I’m sure you will find a way to spice up the next batch!! I’m like you– I like things cheesy. I hate when the cheese gets lost. I love the saucer! [Reply] 
Reeni - September 18, 2009 - 18:08
These look and sound delicious. They have lots of flavor to them. Sorry you found them disappointing! [Reply]
Angela@spinachtiger - September 22, 2009 - 00:15
Oh yes, I have those, I usually put them in my blogger drafts and start over, but it’s good to see that it happens to others too. At least the photo is lovely. [Reply]

 There is something about salads that I just cannot resist. They are so versatile and you could literally make a different salad everyday and never make the same one in your life (well, not sure if that is an actual fact, but it feels like that to me anyway!) plus I also find that it...

I rank just about all the ingredients in that salad as amongst my favourite foods. And the colour combination is so pretty! Good luck with your macarons! I started my love affair with macarons some time ago, and while they don’t always come out perfect, they nearly always taste divine – so they’re quite forgiving in that sense. [Reply] 
Christelle - July 8, 2009 - 19:06
Bright idea, the raspberries really add a great touch to the salad! [Reply]
nina - July 8, 2009 - 19:51
I LOVE fruit and cheese combined in a salad and I do it often!!! The tartness of the raspberries must have been heavenly paired with the goat’s cheese!!! [Reply]
Peter - July 8, 2009 - 21:55
Simome, this is a colourful and tasty salad. I like the sweet berry against the tart cheese. The photos…alluring as always. [Reply] 
Katerina - July 9, 2009 - 18:41
Yum! I LOVEEEE goat cheese. I have recently made salads with goat cheese and pear and goat cheese and strawberries but not raspberries. Beautiful pictures too. [Reply] 
Syrie - July 10, 2009 - 01:01
I love pairing fruit with salads and goats cheese. Your photos are absolutely gorgeous. I feel like I could literally reach through the screen and pinch a raspberry! [Reply]
Nutmeg Nanny - July 10, 2009 - 17:45
This looks awesome. I love goat cheese and it goes so well with raspberries. [Reply] 
ziegen schafe - April 2, 2010 - 13:22
I really love goat cheese it is really delicous. Most of the time I eat it as a dessert or use it to make a salsa. [Reply]

 After having baked clafoutis today I figured the oven could use a little more exercise. I haven’t had a lot of time to do any cooking lately so I was quite pleased to have a weekend of joy in the kitchen. The weather was gorgeous today too, so in between baking and checking how things...

Good to see you are enjoying “me” time Simone. I love the combination of flavours in these quiches and they turned out wonderful! You’re becoming quite the expert… [Reply] 
Nutmeg Nanny - June 14, 2009 - 01:25
What a wonderful combination. I bet it tastes super delicious!!! [Reply]
Peter - June 15, 2009 - 11:16
Simone, thanks for you visiting my site, which allowed me to discover yours. I love all things smoked and this has Feta, an obvious winner for this Greek guy. [Reply]
Jamie - June 15, 2009 - 14:23
First of all, I can totally understand. I hate it when husband is away as it gets so lonely, but I also love when he is away so I can breath and rest a bit and do what I like. Sadly, all of my girlfriends are on-line! This quiche is fantastic and I just copied down the recipe. I love both feta and smoked chicken and this will be a huge hit at our house! [Reply] 
White On Rice Couple - August 4, 2009 - 09:07
As always, such wonderful photographs and recipes! I’m loving the dill and can never live without it! [Reply]

Great job on committing to lose weight, I am in the same mode as well, so far, so good! I think your salad picture looks great! I am not much of a food stylist, but I got a new camera for my birthday and I LOVE it! And the pictures of the tiny lambs was so cute! [Reply] 
Rosie - April 6, 2009 - 22:39
What a lovely spring post and those lambs are SO cute!! Your cucumber feta salad looks wonderful and your photos are just beautiful. Rosie x [Reply]
Coco Bean - April 7, 2009 - 05:40
Oh Gizmo! How cute is she! I guess that look of “go away” is pretty universal in cat language because Coco is a master. There is so much expression in cat’s eyes, maybe that’s why I love them so much! And the lambs… so very adorable. They look like they are wearing big oversized winter jackets and the breeze could push them over. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I totally agree on cats and their expressions! Gizmo is a master at it. I swear she has a morning temper as well… She has so many faces, much more so then the other two actually. Ofcourse you can save the picture for future reference. If you want the larger version just say so and I can send it to you via mail, if that is more convenient. [Reply]
Sophie - April 7, 2009 - 12:09
MMMMM…I love spring saladsa as yummie & easy as this! Great salad!! Lovely with a good glas of wine like a Sauvignon Blanc!! [Reply]
Peter G - April 7, 2009 - 13:12
Simone, you certainly covered a fair bit in this post! The lambs do look cute, but not for long hey? The salad looks incredibly fresh and very appetising! Don’t be so hard on yourself…I personally think it’s beautiful. As for your cat, she looks adorable! They certainly have their own personalities! [Reply] 
Sei - April 7, 2009 - 17:50
I too thought your salad looked just fine. But then I happen to love cukes. I’ve got a number of recipes in my box, following a summer with a bumper crop of the cucumbers. Somehow cucumber and feta is a perfect pairing. [Reply]
Ben - April 7, 2009 - 19:11
Oh look at the baby lamb! They look so delicious, yummy! LOL [Reply] 
Desmone007 - April 7, 2009 - 20:10
Great photos and post! Good luck with the weight loss too, I know how that can be. I know that salad must’ve been really good too! Thanks for sharing. [Reply]
Nicole (Sweetie Pie) - April 7, 2009 - 23:49
I’m not sure who is more adorable: Gizmo or the lambies. Your cherry blossom photo is so pretty, and the salad looks refreshing. I think it’s beautiful just the way you have it! Good job with the spinning! [Reply] 
Simone (junglefrog) - April 8, 2009 - 07:30
Thanks Sophie! A glass of wine would certainly be really nice with this! Thanks Peter. Yes, it’s a bit of a lenthy post isn’t it? Thanks Ben… Typical really that both men are referring to the lamb meat rather then the cute little babies..lol.. Thanks Desmone! [Reply] 
Cheri Neufeld - April 9, 2009 - 16:28
Oooo those lambs are adorable. My dad was a cow boss when I was growing up so in the spring I always loved to watch the calves. It does make it feel so much more like spring… the way they frolic mimics the way you feel inside. [Reply]
Simone (junglefrog) - April 10, 2009 - 08:04
Thanks Hannah Cheri, yes, I so agree with you on that spring feeling! I love watching young animals in spring. Makes me all happy inside! On the saladphoto; I also don’t like the way the tablecloth is cut of at the top. It was too short! [Reply] |
