Recipes from European countries
It’s that time of year again for us Kitchen Gardeners – time to dig up those prized Jerusalem Artichokes and concoct or create some tasty and nourishing recipes to share with family and friends. I planted my weird looking, knobbly artichokes early last spring – then the plants grew to about 12 foot tall, and were […]
It’s 6.30am on a very cold and snowy morning in Hornsea, and I’m looking for inspiration, for Comfort Food, to cook for tonight’s meal. Something simple, but filling and fairly healthy – and I think I have just found it. Hows about Mushroom and Spinach Pappardelle with Crispy Sage? Sounds good, and looks even better, […]
All around the UK, Comfort Food recipes are needed right now! If it’s not rain and floods, it’s snow or landslips or total demolition of our transport system. Dare I say it – but in East Yorkshire it’s not been too bad. Mind you, we had the floods and landslips and rain and coastal erosion […]
As a change from researching my short-list for Range Cookers, I fancied writing up one or two recipes that appeal to me. This one is from John Torode, on the Good Food Channel, as he embarks on a foodie tour of Australia. This dish sounds quite decadent and different – this Lobster French Toast Recipe […]
The sky is darkening, the wind is howling around our little Hornsea house, and it appears Armageddon is just around the corner. What do Erik and myself do? Start building an ark, or digging a tunnel? No way. We decide what’s more important than anything in this dire weather is to do what all sensible people […]
I kept meaning to re-post this recipe for Hollandaise Sauce. Because we had a revamp of our blog, there was a chance some of my recipes would disappear, so I wanted to re-write them up. As this is a classic Hollandaise Sauce recipe, I thought it an important one to keep in the blog’s recipe file. […]
Sitting at my desk at 6.50 am this morning, and seeing nothing but a black sky outside the window, and with the rain tap-dancing on the roof, I feel in need of cooking some comfort food today (in between helping Erik apply lining paper to our lounge walls). And what could be more comfortable than […]
How’s about a brilliant Chicken recipe – Baked Italian Chicken – one that reminds me of years of holidaying in Italy, near Lucca. We took turns cooking at the old farmhouse we rented with friends, and when it was Erik and my turn, a trip to the local supermarket was an absolute treat. This was […]
PrintSpiced Feta with Watermelon Salsa – Recipe Prep Time: 12 minutes Yield: Serves 2 This Spiced Feta with Watermelon Salsa recipe is a firm favourite of ours. Erik and myself love the fresh flavours of Feta Cheese, Watermelon and very finely sliced Red Onion – it not only brings back memories of Greek Holidays but […]
Recipe Melanzane alla Parmigiana – (Sliced Aubergines, layered between crushed tomatoes, basil and mozzarella and finished off with grated Parmesan or Pecorino Cheese then baked in the oven) I confess that this is a mixture of my own recipe, Valentina Harris’ recipe and one of Jamie Oliver’s recipe. I choose not to salt and drain […]
