Glüwein | Spiced With Star Anise

Dec 21, 2015Nov 11, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 25 Comments

Glüwein is a red wine drink, served traditionally around Christmas in countries that enjoy a winter climate over this period. Using mulling spices, sugar and citrus fruits I have used Cabernet Sauvignon to make my mulled wine. Head straight on to the recipe ♥ Last week Dave and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. We … Continue reading Glüwein | Spiced With Star Anise

Nonya Pot Braised Chicken

Oct 24, 2013Sep 22, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 31 Comments

Alex and I often take it in turns to cater for the Formula 1 events. The arrangement is very loose as there is no ways I am doing breakfast on a Sunday for anyone but Dave and I, and some of the races are late at night. But when we feel like it we get … Continue reading Nonya Pot Braised Chicken

I've wanted to make chocolate pasta for quite some time now and when I saw this month's We Should Cocoa challenge on Blue Kitchen Bakes I decided this was the weekend to get it done.

Recipe For Lemon Grass Poached White Peaches

Feb 21, 2011Jun 25, 2019 ~ Tandy ~ Leave a comment

Guest Blogger, Michael English sent me this recipe: The original recipe called for nectarines, which are divine and come out as beautiful amber orbs, but as we had white peaches to hand, peaches it was. The original recipe also called for 8 lemon verbena leaves, which I could not track down. I instead substituted a stick … Continue reading Recipe For Lemon Grass Poached White Peaches

Recipe For Integer Cake

Feb 18, 2011Jun 24, 2019 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

The challenge this week was to bake something using a sweet dessert wine. I have a recipe for a noble late harvest cake from Trinity Guest Lodge where I did a weekend cookery course with my mom. The recipe is not complete and so I guessed the temperature the cake had to be cooked at. … Continue reading Recipe For Integer Cake

Woolworths have these lovely doughnut dessert peaches and I knew this would be the … Continue reading Recipe For Peaches Poached In Sweet White Wine
