As I did previously with the plants category in this blog, I have copied all posts about food to its own sub-domain. Thus, if you were here for the fantastic free food, point your RSS readers to the new feed or check all recipes in the new blog. I won't be adding any recipes here, all new recipes will be found there.

As a reminder, I have added a Latest in... to keep Mostly Maths in touch with the other categories, which are so far:

• Random Thoughts: Posts longer than a tweet but with less content than my usual post here in Mostly Maths. A blog for shower time thoughts.
• Mostly From Seed: The section for plant lovers. I post here my battles with gardening, among my growing from seed experiments.
• Mostly in The Kitchen: The free food section. Here is where all my recipes (and Laia's recipes) get added, some day a book will come from all of them. Just subscribe to the feed, this way you won't miss any recipe or the upcoming (in the next... year?) free recipe book.

You can check the most recent post in the sidebar on the right, below the highlighted posts. I don't have any plans to move other categories to its own sub-domains.

Moreover, I have opened guest posting here in Mostly Maths. You can check conditions here.

A few days ago I found this recipe via StumbleUpon. I had two apples I would not eat, and decided to give it a go. But I didn't have oatmeal, so I improvised. This is my version, which I call Crispy Apple Pie.

If you have ever been to Denmark, they eat something named Æblekage. I ate it last November, and I loved it. This is very, very similar... with a little whipped cream it would be almost the same.

It is not a good-looking dessert, but it is the kind of dessert you can bake in a big plate for quite a few people... and when the party is over, there will be no Crispy Pie left. Guaranteed. Moreover, it does not take very long to do it (around 30 minutes only, plus 40 of baking time).

I know the measurements are wishy-washy. This kind of dessert allows for quite adding sugar, removing sugar, adding butter or removing it. So feel free to put whatever you want. This is just the blueprint, you are the architect.

The procedure is easy. Peel the apples and cut them like French fries Grease a pie plate liberally with butter, and place the apple sticks there. Add a quarter cup of brown sugar, a teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon ginger. Mix thoroughly (I used a fork for this).

Mix 200 gr of creamy cheese (Philadelphia, for instance) with two eggs, another quarter of cup of brown sugar and a teaspoon vanillated sugar or vanilla extract.

Once beaten, pour over the apples, extending evenly

Now crush some crispy type cookie (in Spain that would be Galletas María, in other parts of the world, Graham crackers... the kind of cookie you would use to make a cheesecake pie crust, crispy but not really sweet) to fill half a cup. Crush some walnuts (up to your taste), add 1/3 of cup of brown sugar, more cinnamon and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Mix thoroughly, all the cookie bits should be moist with butter.

Bake for 40 minutes at 180ºC. It will be almost done when the sugar from the bottom starts to bubble at the top.

Let it cool down. When it is cold, the top will be crispy, the bottom soft and the taste amazing (if you like apple pies, of course).

Keep it in the freezer, it can last a few days... if you don't finish it before.

The easiest flatbread, really

I bet you have felt like this some day. You just prepared a soup, one of those soups in need of crumbs of bread. Or you prepared a nice meal, asking for bread to dump in the sauce. And you have no bread at home! Not a single piece of bread.

This is the answer

This bread, soft in the inside, slightly crispy in the outside and chewy, only takes 20 minutes from taking ingredients out of the cupboards until breaking it into pieces with your hands.

That's all. Preparing it is a breeze: mix the flour, baking powder and salt, then add the cup of water and mix thoroughly. Take out a cold pan (it has to be a cold pan) of around 20 cm wide (around 9 inches) and spread the olive oil in it. Pour the dough and put the two tablespoons of water around the edges of the dough. Close the pan with a tight lid and turn on the fire on medium-high. Wait for 10 minutes and flip over. Cook for 5 more minutes, and you are done!
