Beer Bread
This is one of the easiest bread recipes that I have ever made, and I have to admit was very surprised to see this in my Grandmother’s recipe book. I have no idea where she could have picked this one up from, as it simply states Beer bread, and has no mention of whomsoever gave […]
Pancakes
Who doesn’t love a pancake breakfast? I find its one of the most versatile recipes you can have in your collection.
Orange flavoured mini doughnuts – Rosquillas de Naranjas
These delightful little morsels graced our afternoon tea table on numerous occasions. They are the perfect size to be eaten in two bites (sometimes even one), can be packed and carried rather easily as they are quite hardy, and taste great. These doughnuts – as opposed to a lot of other recipes – are baked and therefore produce […]
Baked Rice Pudding
Gibraltarian rice pudding is a truly delightful dish. It’s a soft pudding rice served in a creamy sweet sauce, with a sprinkled cinnamon topping. I have a recipe for the traditional version, but this version is a baked twist on the traditional stove top dessert. I find that when you have lots of things to […]
Pizza
I’ve been using this Pizza recipe for quite some years now, although I honestly can’t remember where I got it from. It might have even been from my school days! Who knows? Its a super simple bread dough recipe which you can top however you like. The one rule here is to keep your toppings simple […]
Meatballs
There are numerous recipes for meatballs, and numerous ways in which to cook them. This particular one is my family’s favourite, the one handed over generation through generation from Grandmother to mother to daughter. This recipe produces a soft juicy meatball cooked in a light onion gravy. I usually make enough sauce to be able […]
Albondigon -Meat loaf
This is another typical Gibraltarian dish, and like every other recipe posted here, each household has it’s own version of how to make it. My grandmothers recipe’s meat loaf is more of a couple of giant meatballs, which are then boiled in soup and either served hot as it is, or reheated the next day on its […]
Quick and Easy Apple Cake
I’m not too sure if this recipe was taken from my Grandmother’s cooking books, as the only version I have is in my handwriting. It could have been that I copied it out of her notebooks are some of them are really old and the writing is fading rapidly, but it could also have been […]
Menestra – traditional vegetable soup
This vegetable soup is traditionally prepared during the Easter\Lent period in Gibraltar. It’s a very thick vegetable soup, served with pasta and mounds of grated cheese on top. Although traditionally this dish is a starter , it’s also a great supper dish which will warm you from the inside out on a cold autumn or winter’s […]
Quiche filling recipe
I usually use this with my four ingredient quiche pastry uploaded one or two posts ago. There really is no rule to the kind of filling you add to your base, as long as it is not a wet concoction. The wet ingredients should always be the milk/cream or a mix of both and the eggs […]
