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 […]
Moroccan Orange Almond Cake
There has always been a close link between Gibraltar and Morocco. We are a very close community and harmoniously live with other nationalities, irrespective of religious creeds or traditions. Obviously Gibraltarian cuisine is strongly influenced by all these other traditional dishes which have found their way into our homes. This recipe was given to me by […]
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 […]
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 […]
Croquettes – with a potato base
This is my go to croquette recipe for any type of leftovers meats I might have, although I have to say I prefer using Chicken, Turkey and Tuna for these rather than meat, but this is my personal preference and I have family members who regularly make this with left over roasts etc. This might […]
Challah Bread
This is a delicious bread to make, and definitely a showstopper on your table. My version is a six strand braid but a real easy one to do, I swear, all you have to do is braid consistently and take it nice and slow. You can not go wrong. As for the taste of this […]
Easy Crusty Bread
My recipes are usually pretty simple both to make and follow, but this recipe is almost 100% foolproof. You’ll need a Dutch oven or a sealable deep Pyrex dish and your good to go. There are two ways to make this bread, either mix all ingredients the night before and once incorporated leave to rise […]
