To be more authentic it can … Continue reading Caramelized Shallots And Anchovies

Orange And Almond Cake

Apr 25, 2022Mar 15, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

Ellie Goulding, in her book Fitter.Calmer.Stronger, has a great resource on how to go about making your own smoothie, which I am sharing with you.

Condensed Milk Rolls

Apr 1, 2022Feb 23, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 11 Comments

Horseradish Cream

Mar 25, 2022Feb 17, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

I bought a bottle of prepared horseradish that claimed it would be hot. But that claim was misleading, as the horseradish is so mild it is not even worth eating. As I don't like to waste, I made this horseradish cream to add flavour to both the contents of the bland bottle, as well as … Continue reading Horseradish Cream

Bacon And Leek Quiche

Mar 14, 2022Feb 10, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

This bacon and leek quiche took several attempts to get it perfect. I wanted the leeks to be cooked and not squeaky when you bit into them. And the bacon had to offer some texture.
