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 […]
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 […]
Creamy Apple tart
This is another simple but delicious recipe. Easy to make -foolproof I would say- creamy and delicious. With Autumn only a month away, and Apples coming into season, now is the perfect time to try your hand baking with them. You can have them in Apple Pies, Tarts, crumbles, even in Jams and of course […]
Banana Bread
Banana Bread is the perfect afternoon tea bread- whether its at the pool, beachside, or simply at your kitchen table, you can’t go wrong with this delicious and moist loaf.
Quick no rise bread
I love baking bread. It’s one of the things I find most comfort in. The rhythmic kneading of the dough, the delight of smelling baking bread, and the pleasure of eating warm bread lathered in butter, hmmm, there are very little things that can replace the comfort of homemade food. This recipe – as are […]
Chicken in a creamy spinach sauce
Although Chicken and Spinach were a staple in my grandmother’s kitchen, I can’t honestly say that this recipe is based on one of hers. More so, I think this dish came about in an “what do I have in my fridge to cook” scenario, and has since evolved into the yummy goodness it is today. […]
Chicken Liver Pate
I love Pate. It’s so easy to prepare, and once you try this recipe I can assure you, you won’t go back to the store bought version. A couple of minutes of prep, and then you sail along preparing this dish. This recipe is old and although I can never remember my Grandmother making this, […]
CHICKEN PESTO IN A CREAM SAUCE
Pesto is such an easy and versatile sauce to have in your culinary collection. Simply blitz Basil, Pine nuts, Garlic, Parmesan and oil in a food processor, add a little lemon juice, adjust seasoning and voila! you have the basis for many a great dish. Add it to some pasta, spoon it over some grilling […]
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Cosy warm and Nutritious Butternut Squash Soup. Perfect for the chilly Autumnal nights (or days!).
Yoghurt and Honey Panna Cotta
This is a new addition to my recipe collection, and is not at all based on any recipe my Grandmother made. At least I can’t remember her making this ever, and I’ve not found ingredients for this in her notebooks. What I love the most about this recipe is the simplicity of elaboration. Mostly no […]
