Welcome to Celtnet's Steaming Recipes Page — This is the first an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. Apart from direct roasting on hot embers or coals, boiling and then steaming are the next simplest and most common cooking techniques. As long as you have a fire and a pot you can steam your food. It's a very economical and efficient means of cooking and preserves the flavours of fish and vegetables. Even if you don't have an oven you can still steam your desserts and cakes. Indeed, before the ubiquity of home ovens steaming was just about the only way of making desserts and cakes. It's something our grandparents did frequently, but which we have almost forgotten, but which has been reminded to me on my frequent trips to Africa, where a fire or a gas burner is often the only means of cooking food. A number of these recipes are tratitional, but others repersent my attempts at re-creating baked goods using African cooking techniques.
