Mozzarella And Sun Dried Tomato Bread

Jun 24, 2022May 13, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ Leave a comment

Ilse created a recipe for the SA Olive Industry for an olive and mozzarella bread with capers and thyme. This could be a list of my favourite pizza toppings, but James did not feel the same. So to suit his palate, I adapted the recipe and baked a mozzarella and sun dried tomato bread. It … Continue reading Mozzarella And Sun Dried Tomato Bread

Beetroot Pasta

Jun 20, 2022Jun 21, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

My copy of The Pasta Man is covered in beet juice from working on this recipe. I made Mateo's vegan beetroot dough which resulted in a lot of waste. But I loved the colour so used it as inspiration to make my own beetroot pasta. It will turn pink once cooked which could make for … Continue reading Beetroot Pasta

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Jun 17, 2022May 9, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

The day Inger shared her recipe for carrot cake cupcakes I printed it out. And I made them that very weekend. These were so good, and received thumbs up from all the taste testers. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Carrot Cake Cupcakes ♥ I have a UK Sim Card which we have … Continue reading Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Date Chocolate Cake

May 20, 2022May 23, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

This Date Chocolate Cake is one I will make again. The recipe is easily adaptable to make it gluten free and/or lactose free. It has no refined sugar with the dates acting as the sweetener. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Date Chocolate Cake ♥ I don't tend to buy clothes seasonally, but … Continue reading Date Chocolate Cake

Caramelized Shallots And Anchovies

May 9, 2022Mar 29, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

This recipe for caramelized shallots and anchovies has the perfect balance between sweet and salty. The term agrodolce comes to mind when I think of the flavour combination. The sauce is great for any ridged pasta such as rigatoni or garganelli and is finished with fresh parsley and Parmesan. To be more authentic it can … Continue reading Caramelized Shallots And Anchovies

Yuzu Angel Food Cake

May 6, 2022Mar 24, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 6 Comments

I would love to experiment with fresh yuzu, but this is a citrus fruit we do not get here. There are always egg whites in my freezer so I used them to make this yuzu angel food cake with dried zest. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Yuzu Angel Food Cake ♥ I … Continue reading Yuzu Angel Food Cake

Orange And Almond Cake

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

I love the method that Ellie Goulding has used for her Orange And Almond Cake. An entire orange is cooked until soft, and then used, peel and all. Zero wastage for a healthy sweet treat! Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Orange And Almond Cake ♥ About 15 years ago, my Doctor prescribed … Continue reading Orange And Almond Cake

Chocolate Fudge Cake

Apr 15, 2022Mar 7, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 5 Comments

The secret ingredient in this chocolate fudge cake is freshly made espresso. It added a richness of flavour and the cake stayed super moist for a week. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Chocolate Fudge Cake ♥ I use quite an expensive razor blade that for years was sold online at a 3-for-2 … Continue reading Chocolate Fudge Cake

Lobster Rolls

Apr 11, 2022Mar 3, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 11 Comments

To me, the perfect lobster rolls have a great sauce, a bit of green crunchy leaves, and soft sweet lobster. We still have some crayfish in the freezer so I made these for St. Valentine's Day. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Lobster Rolls ♥ We have two flights of stairs in our … Continue reading Lobster Rolls

Rosemary Salt

Apr 8, 2022Feb 25, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

I have the most amazing rosemary bush planted in a pot outside our guest bedroom. The plant has lovely flowers and I just love the scent it gives off. I decided to make some rosemary salt as a hostess gift for a friend when we went for dinner. And I kept some to use for … Continue reading Rosemary Salt

Condensed Milk Rolls

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

These condensed milk rolls are sweet and best suited to toppings that are super salty, or fiery from the heat of chilli. I took some west coast rock lobster, slathered in a Sriracha sauce, and made lobster rolls for dinner on Valentine's night. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Condensed Milk Rolls ♥ … Continue reading Condensed Milk Rolls

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

Whole Wheat Cape Seed Loaf

Jan 3, 2022Nov 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

The day I made my citrus marmalade I paged through the recipes books I had on hand to review. I was looking for the perfect bread to go with the marmalade. And this whole wheat Cape seed loaf was it. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Whole Wheat Cape Seed Loaf ♥ I … Continue reading Whole Wheat Cape Seed Loaf

Bacon Waffles

Dec 31, 2021Nov 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

There is one place we always go to when in Amsterdam and that is Pancakes Amsterdam. On each visit I have the pancakes with bacon pieces cooked into them. Served with maple syrup it is the perfect meal. Using this as my inspiration I made bacon waffles to enjoy for breakfast. Head straight on to … Continue reading Bacon Waffles

Ginger And Lime Granola

Dec 17, 2021Nov 16, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 11 Comments

According to Heal, this ginger and lime granola is high in fibre. I can attest that it is packed with flavour. We all loved the ginger, and I particularly enjoyed the crunch when added to yoghurt. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Ginger And Lime Granola ♥ It took me five weeks to finally … Continue reading Ginger And Lime Granola

Liquorice Biscuits

Dec 3, 2021Nov 11, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 7 Comments

I used liquorice powder to make these liquorice biscuits but do not worry if you don't have any. The flavour is easily replicated using fennel seeds. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Liquorice Biscuits ♥ *Screeeech* That is the sound of the brakes being deployed in my life. I had a plan to … Continue reading Liquorice Biscuits

Cheese Muffins With Piquantè Cream Cheese

Nov 29, 2021Nov 11, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 13 Comments

The recipe called for 1 teaspoon of the mixture to be used for each of the cheese muffins which did not make sense to me. I used slightly more and still ended up with 21 small muffins. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Cheese Muffins ♥ 16 years, 8 months and 2 weeks … Continue reading Cheese Muffins With Piquantè Cream Cheese

Chocolate And Tahini Banana Bread

Oct 27, 2021Oct 1, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

If you only bake one recipe from Nigella Lawson's latest recipe book then it has to be this chocolate and tahini banana bread. I used rather large chocolate chunks which I think made it ever so much better. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Chocolate And Tahini Banana Bread ♥ I wrote about … Continue reading Chocolate And Tahini Banana Bread

Pickled Red Cabbage

Oct 25, 2021Sep 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

There is never a good time to discover that your backup has failed. I lost photographs for 16 recipes, which is really sad. But thankfully I can get some off instagram and others off my phone. And for my pickled red cabbage I could just head to the fridge and take new ones. Head straight … Continue reading Pickled Red Cabbage

Japanese Milk Rolls

Oct 11, 2021Sep 9, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I love having people over for meals. It has been really different this year as curfew has meant lunch time gatherings. We have a huge table, so being socially distanced is easy. I am also cooking less for the blog and more for my guests so I cannot recall what I served these Japanese Milk … Continue reading Japanese Milk Rolls
