When I was in the south of india I tasted idlis, a fermented rice and lentil cake, after that experience I avoided the fermented breads all together so I did't taste any appams while I was there. Now I'm sorry. When I saw that thia months daring cooks challenge was to make appams, I sighed, sceptically telling myself maybe this challenge would help me come to terms with my dislike for fermented breads. It worked!!! Appams, or how to like fermented... [Lire la suite]

I made these as my first Daring Cooks Chalenge. I was very busy at the time so I was a bit late in post the pictures for this recipe, sorry!

They live in the south west of France, worldly reknown for its food and I'm interested in all of it!!! I finally... [Lire la suite]
