...sharing food...

i am currently sharing food pictures from Belize and travels in Latin America.... i hope you enjoy!
i have started this blog with a number of ideas in mind. i love to cook, bake, and otherwise play with food, so i thought sharing what i do might be fun. i am also going to use this as a means of recording the various dishes that i do come up with. i try to use all organic and as much local food as possible, and i am vegetarian, although a fish dish or two may pop up on here at some point along the way. i'll try to describe what i do to make the food, but if you want a recipe, email me at cocinadooglasATgmailDOTcom. i will also offer up some restaurant reviews from time to time, and share food that i eat on my travels. otherwise, enjoy, and make some food!!!

oh yeah... i like beer too!

Italian!

Ok... this one involved using up some of the stuff i had in the kitchen, and it came out really nice. It's a baked dish with penne pasta, a garlic, peppers, and onion tomato sauce, and topped with broccoli and some mozzarella. Here's how i did it: for the sauce, i cooked up the garlic, a green, a red, and a jalepeno pepper, along with an onion until they were at the point where you would put them on a sandwich. then i added a chopped tomato and a little bit of tomato sauce, and added some basil. i put the cooked penne at the bottom of the baking dish, and then covered it with the sauce. next, i steamed some broccoli, put it on top of the sauce, and added a layer of grated mozzarella with some bread crumbs. then i baked it for about 12 minutes until the broccoli got a bit brown. it didn't come out of the dish and onto the plate looking all that fancy, but it was certainly yummy...
