Lets talk about my fav talk show@cooking show



It's Rachel Ray my friends....this show really kick martha stewards out for me coz i no longger wait to watch martha as i used to (when i'm home during weeekdays) but nowadays i'll make sure i'll be in front of my cute little tv on 11am to watch Rachel Ray show...

I'm sure show ni dah lame dah and aku ala2 ketinggalan train sebab aku start suka pon baru lagi, mase dalam pantang haritu, kate cuti 2 bulan + 1 bulan, so dah tak keje dapat la tengok rancangan2 tv yg disiarkan pada waktu keje ye kawan2. Mase dalam pantang kat Muar lagi la boring tak buat ape, tido pon depan tv, pastu mase tu baby pon asyik nak susu every 2 hours so aku tido pon tak betol, jadi nye jgnkan rachel ray show yg pukul 11pg, yg ulangan kul 1 pg tu pon aku tengok. Yg bestnye Rachel Ray ni aku rase because she's so energetic and humble and dia tak macam celebrity chef sgt, well after all she said she's not a chef but she's just a cook because she don't have those chef cert. Tapi aku suka cara dia masak..main campak2, memang la style aku kan,style nak cepat,kehkehkeh. Pastu resepi dia mostly takde traditional sgt, semua jenis yg senang dan cepat. Aku nye favorite segment mestila 'what's for dinner'.

Satu lagi point utk dia ialah she cooks really healthy food. Walaupun cepat dimasak tapi she always tries to make the food as healthy as she could. So most of the time dia akan guna whole grain pasta, add a lot of vegi to the food and instead of frying the food, she bake them. So since aku tengok show dia aku pon start to bake my food, ayam la, sayur la, kentang la, makanan yg aku selalunye goreng. So in a way the show give me new ideas to make good healthy food. Selalunye aku takde buat resepi yg sebijik macam dia buat sebab selalunye bahan2 yg dia pakai either susah nak cari tak pon mahal kat mesia ni, so aku improvise je la supaya senang nak buat. Janji buat ye tak. Satu lagi she likes to use a lot of cheese in her resepi and i don't, sebab akak jage badan senah.hehehe

Jom try resepi ni yg ala2 sihat (less cheese please):


Eggplant Bake
Serves 8

Ingredients
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
8 slices day-old Italian bread
1 large eggplant
4 beefsteak tomatoes or 8 plum tomatoes
2 medium zucchini
1/2 cup basil, torn
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Salt and pepper

Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
Fully grease a baking dish, using the first 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Line the baking dish with the eight slices of bread. Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of the EVOO over the bread.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-1/2-inch thick slices. Slice the tomatoes and zucchini the same thickness. Line the eggplant over the bread. Next, layer the tomatoes and zucchini. Sprinkle the torn basil over the veggies and drizzle the rest of the EVOO over everything. Sprinkle the cheese over the veggies, followed by the salt and pepper.
Bake, uncovered, for an hour and serve hot by slicing into squares.

Aku memang suke makan sayur, yum yum..
