Note from admin

Nampaknye graf rate penyumbangan resipi sudah nearing 0. Oh pasti semua sibuk? Atau mungkin merasakan masakan mereka tidak cukup kompeten untuk dimasukkan ke dalam blog ini?

Jika sibuk tak apalah, kita dahulukan yang penting.

Jika rasa masakan tidak kompeten, anda silap di situ. Kita tidak mengganggap hanya makanan heavy-heavy seperti beriani, nasi ayam, lauk asam pedas sebagai resipi. Cook-a-rama menggalakkan sumbangan resipi bersifat praktikal dan on-the-go. Walaupun sesimple roti pita disumbat cheese dan herbs dan sausages lantas dibakar dalam ketuhar. Oh sangat sedap. Resipi sebegitu kelihatan lebih indah untuk dikongsi saat ini untuk rakan-rakan yang nampaknya begitu sibuk sekali. Hyper dialu-alukan.

(Atau mungkin kebanyakan penyumbang seperti admin : tidak mendekati hot plate lansung? hahahaha)

1. Kategori resipi on demand akan ditambah di sidebar. Tell me of any recipe you would want to see on the blog (dan telah ditried and tested by a cook-a-rama chef). Insyaallah akan diusahakan.

2. Anda teruja dengan masakan anda? Rasa terdorong berkongsi? Berminat menyumbang? Join the fun dengan memberi user id blogger anda sama ada leave it on the side bar or contact me directly.

3. Anda wordpressers? Oh kini anda boleh join juga kerana satu user id blogger telah dicipta untuk anda. Dan telah di add sebagai contributor. Just contact me to get the login details. See...cook-a-rama loves everyone. Haha.

Oh maybe that's it for now.

Hope you guys had a wonderful syawal!

Sambal Sardin

Salam.

Ak diterima menjadi penyumbang bagi blog cook -a -rama.Macam rama rama jer...haha

So kiter berkenalan dulu,

Nama :Muhammad Hafizuddin Kamarudin @ Hypo
Coz:Biological Sciences,University of Warwick, Coventry,UK
Blog:http://morindajuice.blogspot.com/

So masakan pertama yg tersangatlah simple yg sangat ini adalah sambal sardin yang sesuai dimasak oleh mat2 bujang atau minah dara yg duduk kat hall university sorg2...Jadi sedap di makan panas2 dgn nasi yang panas bersama telur goreng.

Bahan2

• Satu tin sardin kecik,medium,atau pon besar(tengok pada mana tahap kelaparan anda)
• 2-3 ulas bawang putih
• 1/4 bawang besar atau bawang merah
  
• minyak untuk menumis
• gula
• garam
• bagi cili,anda boleh guna serbuk cili,cili kering atau pon cili hidup.so kat cn ak guna cili serbuk.

Cara2

1. Mula mula kopek la bawang putih dan bawang besar atau merah.Cincang lumat.....
2. Kalo guna cili serbuk ,bancuh serbuk cili dengan air sikit.Kalo guna cili kering rebus dulu cili kering tu dulu,pas 2 blander.Kalo guna cili hidup pon sama gak konsep.Konsep utama nya ialah untuk mendapat paste dalam bahasa melayu nye pekatan kot...
3. Pas 2 panaskan kuali,dengan sedikit minyak untuk menumis bawang.
4. Bila kuali panas ,tumis la bawang putih dengan bawang besar/merah sehinggia wangi .
5. Masukan ikan sardin yg baru kiter bukak dgn pembuka tin(haha),Jika tiada sardin,tuna pon buleh juger...Jangan luper untuk kecikan api
   
6. Masak sambal anda agak2 hingga ia mengeleggak sedikit.Kacao kuali dengan sekate supaya sambal anda pon sekater.
7. Pas 2 bubuh garam dengan gula secukup rase.(pandailah korang agak2,sbb 2 seni rase setiap org)
8. Siap.
9. Hidang dengan nasi panas.....

Senang kan .X sampai 10 minit jer.....so kalo malas nk masak susah2 masak jer lauk nie..Kalo x abis boleh simpan dalam peti sejuk.Pagi esok nyer boleh buat Breakfast dengan cecah dengan roti.

Samplenyer telah dimakan oleh bebudak Warwick(Alia,Dzull,Hazim,Nazri dengan Najib)so kalo nk tau rase nyer tanya lah dieorg....

Selamat Mencuba.

wassalam wbt

not really a recipe, but yeah, you should prolly read on.

So hi people. its chef lyla here. (whoa, such a statement) since this blog is read by mostly college friends and some of us are leaving (or left dy) soon, i guess i better give you guys heads up bout whats ahead (food-y stuff mostly, well hey, its cook-a-rama), from my experience, at least. u ok with tht folks? aite, read on then :)

so its the fasting month and all and bear in mind, its reaaalllly cold here despite it being not winter time yet. eat lots of carbs during sahur or u'll die on ur way to faculties as ppl here rarely use any other transportation besides well, their freakingg own feet. you can expect to do 2-7 km of walking collectively each day depending on wheather your accom is far away or close by. either ways, i bet my pinky that you'd still have to walk a lot.

the buka puasa is usually held at the uni mousque where meals are sponsored by some rich pakarabs, every weekday. but then again, that depends on wheather or not the islamic society in your university is an active one or not. from what i hear however, places where there is 'kampung melayus' (warwick, manchester,soton and yes my notts) do have free iftar. worse come to worst, there are always seniors who are super duper nice and will invite you for buka puasa. seriously, dorg sgt,sgt,sgt baik. so yeah, remember to return the favour sometime later (read: when you get better at cooking or you'll be mortified as the seniors cookings are sgt sedap ok. baik lelaki mahupon perempuan)

as much as you can get free meals and tapau for sahur (oh yeah, i do that), you cannot run from having to cook your own meals during the weekends. thats where this blog comes as a big helping hand. try to get essentials (knives, pots n pans, plates) as quickly as possible. they doesnt have to be those expensive ones. go to the cheap stores nearby and rest assured, you can get the stuff for only a quid or two or less. alternatively, you can always buy those instant vege pizzas, pastas, nasik goreng and what not n pop it into the microwave (most accom do provide this so no worries of angkuting a microwave aaaalll the way from msia, guys! haha)

that said, i just wannna let you all know, its not all fun and play here. surviving is a skill, u need to have endurance, patience, wit, creativity and initiative. be prepared to be homesick during sahur time especially. dont tell anyone but i actually shed a lil tear on my 1st day sahur here, it felt so far away and so inadequate. but i guess at the end of the day, thats the whole point of getting to a new place n a kind of starting a new life. its the experince and the person you become out of em that really matters.

finally, enjoy your time in msia. as much fun as youre gonna get here, u'll sometimes still think of malaysia and all its goodness. to those who belum ada rezeki to go abroad, if anything you shudnt feel sad. we all will have different sets of experience and im sure, all will find the purpose god fated us to go that path sooner or later, if you havnt already found it. the lamp might be different but the light is all the same :)

cheers!

Choc Fudge

Ija reminded me of something I've wanted to post but never got round to doing it. The choc cake's always with this fudge. It makes the cake moister. Plus, it can double as bread spread. My mum sometimes make a potful, and we eat it with sliced bread! Seriously yummy.

Ingredients

1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
1 cup Ideal evaporated milk/ fresh milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup corn flour
1/4 cup butter

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and mix well, making sure there are no lumps.
2. Boil on medium heat.
3. Simmer and stir continuously until it comes to spreading consistency.
4. Pour on cooled cake.

Goodbye from me

Though I doubt that anyone would care that I'm not posting anything..
Alia will take care of everything..
Have fun cooking and trying new recipes..
Cheers!..

Chocolate Biscuits with Soft Chocolate Centres

I got this recipe from a website and I've tried it.It's really delicious.

Ingredients

* 140g/5oz butter
* 140g/5oz caster sugar
* 2 egg yolks
* 255g/9oz self-raising flour
* 30g/1oz cocoa powder
* 30 squares of chocolate (milk, white or plain)

Cream the butter and sugar together until pale. Beat in the egg yolks, then add the flour and cocoa powder to make a dough. Turn out and knead, then pop it into the fridge for a while. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.

However, if you find your dough too crumbly (that's what happened to me and I was on the verge of tears), heat some butter in a pan and pour it onto your dough. And then knead so that it will be properly mixed.

On a lightly floured surface, roll about a third of the dough out thinly, then cut out about 30 circles with the smaller cutter (you can do fewer if you want the biscuits bigger). You can also roll the dough on a baking sheet. It won't stick (mine didn't). I prefer rolling it on a kertas which u can get from kedai kek (i hav no idea wut its called) cause if you use flour, they will definitely stick to your dough and if you accidentally put too much, you might end up with a batch of biscuits which will be too hard to eat. Or maybe you'll still be able to eat them, but it will still be hard. And the dough will also be very crumbly.

Spread them out on the baking sheet and put a square of chocolate in the middle of each one – make sure you use all the chocolate however many you do. Then roll the rest of the dough out (I always add the leftovers from the first lot of cutting to it and knead it a bit). Cut out the same number of circles with the larger cutter and pop them on top of the chocolate, pressing gently all the way round to seal the edge and keep all the chocolate in.

Cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, and eat them hot or cold.

p/s: this isn't totally my own writing. copy pasted some of it. but anyhow,try it. it's good. i'm off baking though. i'm sticking to normal cooking. baking sure is hard man.
any question, just post a comment. will be happy to help..=)..

pss: apparently if u follow the recipe correctly,u shudnt hav any trouble with the dough..i made a mistake the 1st time i did it,n dats y i ended up with crumbly dough..n i can assure u the end result will be really good,it'll b a hit evrytime..trust me..u can also add choc chip n buat bntuk cookies biase instead of letak choc in da middle..sdap!..
