Raspberry, Chocolate & Courgette Cake
If you’re struggling to deal with a glut of courgettes this summer, here’s a good way to use some up. It’s quite a rich cake and tastes great served with cream.
Cherry Bomb Ice Cream
This is a genuine Food For Friends recipe – inspired by the huge bag of cherries our friend Bev from down the road brought us, and a conversation Rachel and I had about how great Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia frozen yoghurt is – so great that I decided to come up with a version [...]
Chicken Supreme
This recipe is low fat, very quick to make, uses one pan (plus one for the rice!) and with the tender chicken and rich creamy sauce, you’ll want to go back for more.
Mussels in a white wine sauce
A quick and easy recipe for Moules Marinieres, a classic French dish. Includes tips on choosing and cleaning your mussels!
Lime Cheesecake
Probably my favourite pud. This is the sort of dessert that can have all the ingredients adjusted to suit your own palate. I’m a right one for just chucking ingredients in various amounts until I think will taste nice. Most of the time it works and if it doesn’t , its really funny and I know what to change next time…. Happy Experimenting!
Baked eggs with tomatoes and lemon creme fraiche
This version of baked eggs with tomato, creme fraiche and lemon, brings a Mediterranean element to a delicious brunch.
Tagliatelle with roast vegetables
A friend made this from scratch for lunch when I called in unexpectedly. I watched with pleasure, ate with increasing pleasure and returned home to try my hand and share my pleasure…. so I hope you will try it out and enjoy!
As the meat is added as a topping it is also a very useful recipe because meat lovers and vegetarians can be invited to share the basic dish.
Sausages with Celeriac and Peppercorn Mash
Comfort food comes in no better form than a well cooked sausage, or so it seems to me as I gaze out on a snow covered garden and watch the sheep snuggled in their woolly coats in the adjoining field. But what to add to the deep and succulent flavour of our butcher’s best sausages – how about celeriac that has been freshly pulled from our kitchen garden?
Roast chicken and fennel pie
Everyone loves a good old pie especially during the colder months… Or especially when you have to cook for 10 people, so here’s my recipe for one that oozes deliciousness as much as butter and cream. All healthy stuff, you see?
Tangy Mac & Cheese
As with many a popular dish, everyone makes Mac & Cheese in their own variation and everyone thinks theirs is the best. I have recently discovered “amori” which are like macaroni only slightly longer and twisted which retains the sauce better in my opinion.
