QUINCE JAM - The Making ( a la Aster )

[Greg Beetham]

Don't forget the Pizza's, is there a recipe for the pastry in those? or do you get that from a shop or supermarket?

Hi Greg, : )

When I cook, I make sure that everything is my own making. I try, always, to buy the ingredients and not rely on any manifacturer for the food I have in mind. There's bound to be some sort of chemicals that the human body is not naturally comfortable with in the ready-made stuff, especially to make them long-lasting on the market shelves.

I don't believe in that. I like my food to be made fresh out of fully natural ingredients and I want to be the only one to make and taste it first. 'Second-hand' is no good for me, never was, mine has to be fresh and solely mine from the very start. I never purchased anything an other person used previously and that goes for everything that's in my life now- I keep everything I hold dear by myself until my last breath and let go off of the things that had no use for me...so definitely the food too. I have to see what goes in it as the first person...and be able to eat it too

So, the pizza pastry is my own mixture as well. Yeast, whole-grain wheat flour, olive oil, a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of sugar and warm water go into the mixture. I let it rest for a couple of hours at a warm place to ferment and swell. Roll the dough out as a thin layer with a rolling pin and lay it out in a baking pan or oven tray and spread the tomato sauce and the rest of the toppings.

Thanks Yildiz, I didn't like to ask actually because I have heard that Pizza pastry is a sort of secret recipe in a lot of cases.

It's alright, Greg. I don't mind.

I can always add other ingredients to that basic pizza dough mixture; the possibilities for a dough mixture are endless ! : )

It's a happy game, making of the pizza pastry!

Wow! These are great. I think food/cooking photography must be your calling.

Wow! Thanks, Bakubo !

I can hear it wildly 'ringing' in my ears.. : ) A pretty cheerful calling that smells like vanilla, cinnamon and fresh fruits....and what nots!

Are you 'up' for Pumpkin Pie Yildiz?

Of course!...Up! ...Up!...and Away... in my pumpkin space ship which has nice teeth and gorgeous eyelashes!

Incredible pumpkin field shots, David Antony. : ) I love the way the pumpkin season hits the Northern continents... and Halloween is on the way too. What a gorgeous season with everything 'pumpkin' ! : ))

I have no access to such beautiful fields unfortunately but I'll have a keen eye when roaming around the market place.

Thanks for sharing pumpkin prince, David. : )))))
