It’s Meatless Monday again and today, we are 7 weeks into our family challenges. We introduce new weekly challenges as an attempt to reduce our ecological footprint but the one constant is Meatless Monday’s. Meatless Monday’s are making us think a little more about what we will be enjoying for dinner and yet it can […]
Sometimes I have been known, on occasion, to overdo it on the food front. I have been known to cater for 4 and add a zero. Yes, yes, I can hear all your gasps (yes I can)…. so stop that if you would please. Perhaps what I should say is that I would like to […]
Firstly, Happy Easter to you all. I hope you had a lovely time with your chocolate and loved ones. Today I will not, I – absolutely – will – not, post about chocolate. This I know for sure, however sometimes I find it so hard to choose which recipe I want to write […]
This garlic paste may become one of your secret weapon’s. I love my food and cherish my time in the kitchen but just like you, my life is a busy one and you have to have a few tricks up your sleeve to make that mid week meal one that is minimum effort but results in […]
How’s your ‘to do’ list going this week? I wanted to give you a little something that you can whip up and enjoy during this busy Christmas week. I can tell you first hand that these tasty zucchini fritters are best enjoyed with a Mojito. Both are extremely moor-ish and Mojito has fun written all […]
You know you’re getting on a bit & happily content when your best imaginable Friday night would be to have no plans and to stay in and enjoy a family dinner on the deck followed by our family show ‘Better Homes & Gardens’. Yes, I said it ‘Better Homes & Gardens’. Our youngest daughter asked […]
A ‘Schmancy’ Spanish potato omelette recipe to enjoy and egg-y facts I love a good egg! Eggs are my answer to mid-week dinner madness or for the Sunday night ‘let’s keep it simple’ dinner. If you have eggs in the house, you have the means of making a quick & easy lovely meal. […]
One of these days, when you have a spare half an hour or so, please make a batch of your own Harissa. Let this firey girl in to your kitchen and she will transform any dish. You need to play around with this paste when adding to your dishes. When starting out, don’t underestimate the powers […]
I have had amazing minestrone and then I have had my equal share of poor ones too. A good one, put simply, has every component melting in your mouth, all perfectly blended and balanced. It is both warming and healing I had a beautiful pot of this on the stove top the other day, when […]
If I think ‘Bolognese’, I think comfort. I think of a gorgeous night in with the family slurping up pasta with a delicious and hearty bolognese clinging so wonderfully to all that we slurp. I think of the kids with big bolognese grins holding their bowls to the big red cast iron pot for more. […]
This spiced red lentil and carrot soup is one of those recipes that feels both nourishing and deeply comforting. It’s simple to make, full of flavour, and made from ingredients you’re likely to already have on hand. The kind of meal that quietly becomes part of your regular rhythm. I find myself returning to this […]
