I have a handwritten recipe for cranberry and oat slices that I must have copied down when at a friend a long time ago. If it had been done in the past two years I would have made a note from where I copied it, as I do not want to copy other people's recipes … Continue reading Cranberry And Oat Slices
Last year I rushed my entry into the Woolworths Soup Competition as we were heading for our annual overseas trip. I entered three soup recipes, based on the concept of the soups currently sold by Woolworths at that time. One of my entries was my broccoli and cheese soup recipe. I thought this would be … Continue reading Carrot And Beef Short Rib Soup Recipe
I have posted this recipe on my food24 blog and it does not work if you tweak it too much, as my friend Zabwan discovered. I was not going to use this recipe again for the challenge, as the aim is to make something new. But, yesterday I tried a recipe from the Vital Club … Continue reading Berry Bars
I have been asked for a meatball recipe by Shazzie and I could have sent her to look here at the pasta and meatball recipe, or here for my kefta tagine recipe, but instead I decided to do a whole new recipe for her. Here is my recipe for Thai Inspired Lamb Meatballs. Thai Inspired Lamb … Continue reading Recipe For Thai Inspired Lamb Meatballs

Both coconut milk and cream are best used within a few hours. They can be refrigerated for 1 - 2 days, but will harden and … Continue reading Coconut Milk And Cream
As I am sucrose intolerant I find it easier to make my own breakfast cereal than read all the ingredients on all the packets of muesli's available in the supermarkets. This granola is by no means the cheaper option, but it is the healthier choice. I have been making this granola recipe for so long … Continue reading Granola | Easy To Make At Home
For those of you who are regular readers of my blog, you will know that I have been setting food challenges for quite some time now. The challenges I issue are not for reward, but hopefully have inspired people to try something new - whether it is a new recipe, or technique, or to make … Continue reading Recipe For Thai Inspired Crayfish Curry
My contribution to the challenge was a dish prepared in my tagine, and I made enough of this Indonesian Chicken for 2 nights. Part of the challenge was discovering what Sambal Oelek is! It is a paste made from ground red chillis, sometimes including salt, lime or lemongrass as well. Used for adding heat to … Continue reading Recipe For Indonesian Chicken
