We just published episode 11 of Ligia’s Kitchen, which will show you how to make a delicious (and quick) raw whipped cream cake with frozen sour cherries. One of the fringe benefits of producing my wife’s cooking show is that I get to eat all the yummy treats she makes. This cake had me licking my fingers. It was delicious, and as you can see from the video, it takes about 5 minutes to make it.
English subtitles are available on YouTube (toggle them on/off with the CC button).
It’s the 10th episode of Ligia’s Kitchen! Our show’s already been viewed over 20,000 times, and the views just keep coming. Considering that it’s in Romanian (not English), and there’s plenty of competition from the American market, I think that’s really good!
This week’s recipe is a raw winter salad with (of course) raw mayonnaise. It’s easy to make, and its ingredients are easy to find during winter in just about any supermarket. Enjoy!
English subtitles available on YouTube (click on the video to go there).
This episode will show you how to make a raw almond cake (with the fruits of your choice) from the pulp of the almond milk. For those who say raw food is expensive, I submit this as proof that it isn’t. If you can make milk and cake from the same basic ingredients, that’s a pretty good deal in anyone’s checkbook.
As usual, English subtitles are provided. Just click through to see the video directly on YouTube, where subtitles will be displayed.
I promised it, and kept my word. Just launched a new show of my own that’s been in the works for some time. It’s live, right now, on my YouTube channel.
The show is called “Romania Through Their Eyes”, and it’s a series of interviews with foreigners — people who visited Romania, spent time in the country, and wanted to share their thoughts with me.
The purpose of the show is to get their impressions about the country, and start a dialogue which will lead to a greater understanding of the issues facing Romanians and Romania. I’m hoping this will have an impact on the leadership of the country, and help them to focus their attention on issues that are of international relevance. Because, let’s face it, Romania’s reputation in the world isn’t exactly spotless…
This first interview is with Laura, who is from the South of France, and spent two and a half months in Romania in the fall and winter of 2010.
Thanks to YouTube’s CC option, I can provide two language tracks (English and Romanian) for each show. You’ll have to excuse my translation, I’m doing my best and it may not be as accurate as I want it to be, but at least it’s there. If there’s a need for subtitles in another language, get in touch with me and we’ll work together to get them up there.
My current plans are to put out one episode per month. As you know, I already film, direct, edit and produce my wife’s two shows (Ligia’s Kitchen and Quilling – The Art of Paper Filigree). There’s a significant time commitment already devoted to them. And you wouldn’t believe how much work goes on behind the scenes for one of these interviews… But, as I say in the video, if there’s enough interest, I’ll be glad to roll up my sleeves and get to work on more frequent episodes, like bi-monthly ones, or even once a week, who knows. It’s up to you — so if you like it, spread the word, like it, fave it, share it, etc. — get the word out!
Episode 8 of Ligia’s Kitchen is out, as of a few minutes ago. This week’s recipe is raw almond milk. It’s easy, quick, delicious and economical. But don’t take my word for it. Try it out for yourselves!
