she cooks: anniversary lunch

Last Sunday my sisters and I decided to cook lunch for the parents' anniversary. Since my dad couldn't eat several foods (for health purposes), the menu we were able to come up with was Roka Salad, Telefono, and Glazed Salmon. 


We wanted something light to match the heavy pasta, so my sister suggested glazed salmon. She got the recipe from a cook book here at home (I have yet to figure out which one), but it was as simple as making a marinade for the fish and cooking it on a grill after. Just make sure not to overcook the fish!


This Greek salad from Cyma is a favourite of my mom's, so we decided to add this to the menu. Unfortunately we didn't have Parmesan, so we had to work with Gouda cheese for this.

I don't have a good photo of my Telefono, but I could say that this time around, the pasta turned out much better and everyone enjoyed it. It's really not a difficult dish for cooking newbies!
