Apr 23, 2021Apr 24, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

My Kerala prawn curry was a second choice. Albeit not a bad one. I had taken crayfish out of the freezer, but having left them in there too long, they were not good enough to use for cooking.

Avocado Hollandaise For Steamed Asparagus

Mar 17, 2021Feb 17, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 16 Comments

Chicken Livers With Pomegranate Sauce

Feb 17, 2021Feb 18, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

Like Sally Butcher, I was not sure how pomegranate molasses would work with the earthy taste of chicken livers. I for one love everything about livers, and will experiment with all sorts of flavours. Especially now while we have a booze ban in place and my Brandy is running low. I have used port and … Continue reading Chicken Livers With Pomegranate Sauce

Asian Chicken Noodle Soup With Ginger And Lime

Nov 6, 2020Oct 7, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

This is not quite Asian Chicken Noodle Soup but I am calling it that as it has ginger and lime. And also because I have made chicken noodle soup previously for the blog.

Lemon And Thyme Sorbet | No Churn Recipe

Sep 14, 2020Aug 20, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

In times gone by, sorbet was served between courses to cleanse the palate. I love this idea, even if we never have a fancy enough dinner party.

A mouth puckering recipe especially for lemon lovers. … Continue reading Lemon And Thyme Sorbet | No Churn Recipe

Jul 13, 2020Jun 9, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 17 Comments

Jul 6, 2020Jul 7, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

Apr 27, 2020Apr 27, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 11 Comments
