Quiche Pastry

Mar 7, 2022Feb 7, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

James inspired me with his bacon and leek quiche and I set about making my own. This quiche pastry is a doddle to make and to me, the key is refrigerating it for long enough. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Quiche Pastry ♥ Having heard the term ‘ladies who lunch’ bandied about … Continue reading Quiche Pastry

Spiced Caramel

Mar 4, 2022Feb 8, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 17 Comments

When you are told to make a spiced caramel as it is a 'game changer', you know you have to! And really, this is so good. I can think of so many ways to use this liquid gold, and the first one that came to mind was ice cream. Head straight on to the Recipe … Continue reading Spiced Caramel

Leek And Potato Soup

Feb 28, 2022Feb 3, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I served this leek and potato soup hot the day I made it. And then cold the following day. I suppose one could also call it Vichyssoise as I made it nice and thick. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Leek And Potato Soup ♥ Two months ago, you may have read that … Continue reading Leek And Potato Soup

Orange And Cranberry Shortbread

Feb 25, 2022Feb 2, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

Bourbon And Orange Glazed Gammon

Feb 21, 2022Jan 26, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 15 Comments

I made this Bourbon and Orange Glazed Gammon two years in a row. It is so good, and we ate cold gammon for days afterwards. This is a great alternative to traditional glazes as it is not too sweet.

Roasted Plum Cake

Feb 18, 2022Jan 24, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

This roasted plum cake will stay moist for several days due to the natural juices that come from roasting the stone fruit. I may adjust the recipe slightly if I make it again, but that does not detract from how good it was. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Roasted Plum Cake ♥ … Continue reading Roasted Plum Cake

Passion Fruit Ice Cream

Feb 14, 2022Jan 20, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

Granadillas and passion fruit came from the same genus, but are different. I didn't think that granadillas were so unique to South Africa, until I posted my recipe for granadilla ice lollies. As granadillas are sweeter, they are more palatable for children. But I wanted something tart to go with my chocolate dessert, and passion … Continue reading Passion Fruit Ice Cream

Baked Chocolate Mousse

Feb 11, 2022Jan 19, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

I was not sure what to call this recipe. It is a failed brownie but not quite a pudding. I finally settled on baked chocolate mousse. It is rich and decadent and made for the perfect dessert when served warm. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Baked Chocolate Mousse ♥ Last year, Jim … Continue reading Baked Chocolate Mousse

Tea Panna Cotta

Feb 7, 2022Jan 17, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 18 Comments

We are still eating our way through the 24 I made. The recipe below has been adjusted to make enough for one dinner … Continue reading Tea Panna Cotta

Drunken Cherries

Jan 31, 2022Jan 13, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 21 Comments

My friend Nico gave me a bottle of Grappa for my 50th birthday with the promise I only drink it with him. Sadly, he passed away before we could enjoy that tipple together so I decided to use the grappa to make a few jars of drunken cherries. Head straight on to the Recipe For … Continue reading Drunken Cherries

Cherry And Vodka Jam

Jan 28, 2022Jan 11, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 17 Comments

Cherry season is short and sweet and I wanted to make the most of it last December. I made drunken cherries with a quarter of a box I bought directly from the farm. And with another quarter I made cherry and vodka jam. As Dave was away, I ate the rest of the box as … Continue reading Cherry And Vodka Jam

Jan 21, 2022Jan 24, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

Our first Boxer, Maxine, had … Continue reading Roasted Cherry Tomato Chutney

Caper Butter

Jan 14, 2022Nov 30, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 6 Comments

Mocha Tart

Dec 27, 2021Nov 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments
