Recipes from European countries
Guess it’s time to start thinking about Christmas recipes, and this Smoked Salmon & Guacamole Shots recipe really appeals to me. Everything I love in one glass, and it would make a brilliant and light starter for a Christmas meal. I must look out our old shot glasses, to make sure they are big enough. Smoked Salmon […]
It’s 5.45am, and I’m trying to decide what Bank Holiday Recipes to cook for a very soggy Bank Holiday – it’s a choice between Chicken Traybake, Flambeed Chicken with Asparagus or a Chunky Apple, Raisin, Walnut & Cider cake to keep us warm. Maybe make them all?
Nettle Recipes A few years ago, I would have never dreamed of writing about Nettles, and particularly Nettle Recipes! I hate being stung by those ferocious plants that litter my garden, and strike me with that sudden, instant pain that materialises into a dull, strong, nagging, itchy ache for hours and is no friend of […]
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 […]
