Hearty Meals with Olive Oil

lasangpinoy

I have featured the dish (below) here as it was done in a cooking class I was invited to go to.

Last Wednesday night, we had it for dinner with a few minor changes according to what I have at home.

pasta and fish fillet

I plan to cook more using olive oil even if it is a bit of a strain in the pocket but if the benefits are good for the family’s health, why not?

I usually use soybean oil for cooking and I still do especially in frying (fish) which requires more oil.

Chocolate Heaven Cake from Red Ribbon

Chocolate Heaven Cake from Red Ribbon is not an average chocolate cake.

Red Ribbon Chocolate Heaven Cake

It has four kinds of chocolate goodness: chocolate brownie, chocolate icing, chocolate curls and chocolate mousse.

Red Ribbon Chocolate Heaven Cake

These cakes will be made available on February 7, 2010 at Red Ribbon stores atPhP560.00 for the regular size and PhP335 for the Junior Size.

We had this with coffee and it was really good. For those who do not have a sweet tooth like me, a thin slice will do.

Just perfect to end a wonderful dinner served on contemporary coffee tables 🙂 Al fresco would be fine too since it is getting hot at night.
