It is a shame you cannot find quails locally, but you can substitute them by other smaller birds like spring chicken or partridge (although it would be more gamey than quails). The rose water is an amazing ingredient used quite frequently in Middle Eastern cuisine.<br /><br />Luiz @ The London FoodieLuiz Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625648237398242154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-72476638092542887932009-10-27T06:12:04.720+00:002009-10-27T06:12:04.720+00:00Hi great stuff you got there !

I can't believe you are Persian...Dear Sabrina,<br /><br />I can't believe you are Persian - I am crazy, crazy, crazy about Persian food! I went to a cookery class by Eat Drink Talk called "Flavours of Persia" and since then, I have been cooking loads of Khoreshs at home and just can't get enough of it... My favourite cookery books are New Food of Life by Najmieh Batmanglij and Persia in Peckham by Sally Butcher. I love both equally, although they are very different. This weekend, we had some friends over and I made a delicious warm salad of shredded pheasant with barberries, pomegranate, fennel, chicory, rose water among other things... I also made saffron rice with sour cherries and managed to get my tahdig to work this time!! I was so happy with the results. Thank you for telling me about Ras-el-Hanout, i have looked it up, it sounds amazing. I will try a recipe out with this spice mix, hmmmmm....<br /><br />Have a lovely week!<br /><br />Luiz @ The London FoodieLuiz Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625648237398242154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-32283453133335767312009-10-26T19:34:26.924+00:002009-10-26T19:34:26.924+00:00Hi Petit Nyonya,

Thank you for the tips and for becoming a follower of my blog. I hope that we can meet up for a meal in London next time you visit the city.<br /><br />I went to Sushi classes in London provided by a Japanese woman called Reiko Hashimoto, she has taught me a lot about Japanese cuisine. I will be posting a review of her school (hashicooking.co.uk) this week.<br /><br />Hope all is well with you!<br /><br />Luiz @ The London FoodieLuiz Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625648237398242154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-9522538037786403712009-10-25T16:22:46.548+00:002009-10-25T16:22:46.548+00:00Hi again :), thanks for your reply, I shall be mor...Hi again :), thanks for your reply, I shall be more encouraged to post more Nyonya food on my blog in the future. These days I just don't cook Nyonya food as often as I should due to my busy schedule, but I definitely will from now on. There is another site called Nyonyafood.com, the lady behind it is a Nyonya from Penang, Malaysia. It's a sister site to Rasa Malaysia. You might also be interested to take a look. Have fun trying out the recipes in the "Matriarch" cookbook. It doesn't matter if the result turn out exactly as it should or not, what matters is just have fun trying it out :D. Would love to see how your cooking adventure with your friends turn out to be, so I've also signed up to follow your blog :D. Have a nice week ahead too! Cheers!<br /><br />p/s I've always wanted to learn to make sushi but haven't had the time to really get to it. I saw some other bloggers who were so skilled at it.petite nyonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159708832268114982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-77480596926193666702009-10-23T21:19:22.572+01:002009-10-23T21:19:22.572+01:00I LOVE your blog!

I LOVE your blog! I have just signed up...Hi Luiz,<br /><br />I LOVE your blog! I have just signed up to it! You're definitely MY kind of foodie, because everything on your page has made me drool so far! I love your Quail recipe, being Persian myself, i love using Rose petals and rose water in my cooking. One spice mix i cant live without is called "Ras-el-Hanout" - its a blend of 14 different spices including Rose petals and Lavender, its fab. I spend far too little time on my blog, but with all my Foodepedia writing and my day job, its hard to do anything! By the way, your heritage are two of my favourite food countries! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Italy and its food and the same for Japan. First time in Japan was this year, incredible! Italy is where my heart is...!Sabrina Ghayourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975894184333503738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-26824517854020421802009-10-23T16:51:45.832+01:002009-10-23T16:51:45.832+01:00Hi Petit Nyonya - I am so thrilled to have found y...Hi Petit Nyonya - I am so thrilled to have found your blog, I have added you to my bloglist. I bought "The Way of the Matriarch" when I was in Singapore last year. I just LOVE Nyonya cuisine, there are two restaurants in London which have Nyonya dishes in their menu but I do not believe they are solely Nyonya, they are Sedap and Rasa Sayang (I have posted about this recently). Being half Japanese and half Italian makes me really relate to the Peranakan culture and cuisine, it was one of the best culinary discoveries I have made. I cannot wait to get through your recipes on your blog and cook them at home. I am setting up a Cookery Club with two good friends from "Travels with my Fork" (another wonderful blog) and I will suggest cooking from your blog's recipes! I will certainly let you know how we get on. Have a lovely weekend...

It's really nice to know that you enjoy Nyonya cuisine and have been to Melaka/Malacca & Singapore. Do you know that there is a "The Way of the Matriarch" recipe book selling in bookstores here in Singapore? However, there are so many Nyonya recipe books out there now but some of the recipes are not very authentic at all. Singapore Nyonya cuisine is very much a branch of the original Melaka Nyonya cuisine, as Melaka is the birthplace of the Nyonya heritage. You have a really exotic cultural background too since you're half Japanese & half Italian. You get the best of both worlds' cuisines! I've been to London once 3 years ago & I loved it! I didn't have much chance to check out the popular restaurants there so I hope to visit this fabulous city again someday & taste the great food there. You have really fantastic reviews on your blog! I wonder, is there any Nyonya restaurant in London? <br /><br />cheers!petite nyonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159708832268114982noreply@blogger.com
