We had this for dinner the other night: Fish Fillet and Mushrooms in Oriental Sauce which I saw Chef Golda cook during the February 27, 2010 Light Meal Recipes with Dona Elena Cuisinera Club.
The kids loved it, and the husband did too. They were raving about how good the food smelled, “like those served in Chinese restaurants”. I am happy of course that they were able to appreciate once again what I prepared for them.
Here was what I cooked using cream dory fillet from SM Hypermarket Centris.

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.
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.

Chunky Chocolate Cookies with Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil?
I associate cookies with butter and not with olive oil because that is how I bake our cookies. Why not, this is the tried and tested ingredient for baked goodies. So when I saw cookies being prepared with olive oil, I was surprised.
I didn’t think I would be enjoying cookies with less guilt 😀
Here was how these cookies were prepared:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 pcs large eggs, beaten
3 tbsp fresh milk
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
chocolate chunks
