A Fresh New Start

Julia&Julia inspired me to do this blog, if you haven't already seen the movie, you should see it. 

I plan to make all of the Jamie Oliver World Food recipes and some of the special occasions recipes.

Jamie Oliver Special Occasion Recipes

I am going to make one of Jamie Oliver's recipes every day and choose my favorite to write a blog about each week. 

My first recipe is Jamie Oliver's Gorgeous Greek Salad. 

First, we bought the ingredients. The were easy to find except the fresh flowering oregano, so we used dried oregano. 

It was easy to make and I learned a new technique for cutting cucumber, scratching it with a fork before cutting. I had never heard of this, but I like learning new cooking techniques. 

Here is the finished salad. 

My sister and and brother both gave it 2 thumbs up and a foot (they are silly) and the whole family gave it a 10 out of 10. 

                                                                                 

Jamie Oliver's Greek Salad

I thought this would be a good idea since Jamie Oliver recipes are based on healthy eating and my brother and sister like to eat a lot of sweets things. 

Check back soon for the next recipe.
