I spent yesterday morning at a Guy Demarle presentation at a friends house in France. During the course of a couple of hours the woman demonstrating the products baked bread, made the most amazing chocolate cake, beautiful little almond shells in which she served a really tasty raspberry sorbet and then some little Goats cheese [...]

Green Chilli Risotto

Pamela — Wed, 27 May 2009 18:34:05 +0000

This is another rather unorthodox recipe from Sue Style and her great book Eat and Two Veg. I must apologize to the purests among you but I’m no food snob and I like to experiment so I thought I would give this a try.. and what do you know, we loved it!! See what you [...]

Spicy Chipotle Mushroom and Courgette Burritos

Pamela — Sun, 24 May 2009 15:35:26 +0000

This recipe is based on one from Eat and Two Veg by Sue Style. Sue is originally from England but has lived in Spain, France, Switzerland and Mexico and this is really reflected in the her cookery. The choice of ingredients and combinations are refreshingly innovative. SPICY CHIPOTLE MUSHROOM AND COURGETTE BURRITOS WITH FRESH TOMATO [...]

It’s grill season and so it’s time for me to dust off my favourite summer cookbook – The Great Big Burger Book! For anyone who loves BBQ’s this is an essential piece of kit. This recipe is based upon one from the Great Big Burger Book but it’s not exactly the same so I give [...]

Mince Pies

I’ve never made Mince Pies before but this year I thought I would make some to give as a gift and to enjoy at home. When I tried to get the right size cutters I drew a blank so they’re not as neat as I’d hoped they would be but I guess that just adds [...]

Spaghetti Bolognaise

This Nigel Slater recipe came from his show called a Taste of My Life. I’ve been looking for a more authentic recipe to try and since my son adores pasta I thought this would be ideal for a nice relaxing family meal. I was right, clean plates all round! It was delicious, rich and filling, [...]

Karen’s Speedy Courgette & Bacon Risotto

Pamela — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:35:07 +0000

This recipe comes from the New Covent Garden Soup Company’s – Soup & Beyond book. I can really recommend the Covent Garden cookbooks as I have a couple and so far all the recipes I’ve tried have always been delicious. They saved my bacon on Christmas Day when I had a soup disaster and found [...]

Warm Red Onion and Potato Salad

This is a really side dish which I came across a few weeks ago and we’ve had it as quite a few times since. It’s really great with grilled chicken or anything off the barbeque. The recipe appeared in a show called Food Poker and the chef was Lawrence Keogh. WARM RED ONION AND POTATO [...]
