Mandarin almond cake

Recently I wrote about the generosity of a friend who gave me some mandarins from his orchard and that I decided to make mandarin muffins to take to the office and share with others. On the day I chose to make them I needed a recipe that was quick and easy […]

Red lentil, kumara and coconut soup

A little while ago I realised that my obsession for food magazines and cookbooks was completely out of control. My bookshelves were almost bursting out of the shelves, my spare room looked more like a library as each day passed and the spare piles of magazines were becoming high enough […]

Meringue nests with berry and cream topping

I have always loved having friends over for dinner parties more than going out to a restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying someone to create delicious food and to do the washing up for me. I just like to try and create things that I think my […]

Being invited to a friends place for dinner is a special treat for me as not too many people will invite and willingly cook for a (self confessed) food junkie. However, our friend M is a wonderful cook in his own right and often provides me with recipes for his generous and delicious […]

Baci heaven – Baci semifreddo with Baci di dama biscuits

It was Valentine’s Day yesterday and while neither G or I buy into the commercialism of the day we do like to spend some time together and relax. The one thing I do like about a day that celebrates love is that it reminds us all how important our loved ones are in […]
