Baked Pasta with Zucchini and Basil Pesto

I have voiced my dislike towards zucchini in the past.

Having that said, I have been having good runs of making zucchini more likeable and welcoming to my repertoire.  I supposed I have found a way to make peace with zucchini – by grating it or by dicing as small as possible. I still think zucchini is not an ideal vegetable for a stir fry dish. I prefer my stir fry vegetables to be crunchy which I think it’s quite difficult for zucchini to be.  Maybe I can undercook the zucchini a little so it will stay crunchy.

Hmm, a half cooked zucchini? I think it may be too much for a reformed zucchini hater to bear.

Orange F.O.O.D Week – F.O.O.D Affair

I am still getting over the fact that F.O.O.D Week has finished seven days ago. Not to mention the food-hangover that I have pleasantly brought onto myself, ha!

I feel the F.O.O.D Week has really brought out the best of Orange region – good wines, fresh and delicious food sourced from local producers and the beautiful Autumn scenary in Orange as a backdrop of various events. Besides a marathon of wine and food tasting, there were cooking masterclasses (i.e cider making), visiting of olive groves, farms, vineyards and orchards which made me appreciate cooking even more and has helped me in understanding the importance of supporting the local producers.
