Leeks with creamed potatoes
Sometimes I find an ingredient that I know I want to cook with and this time it was baby leeks. Leek is an amazing and humble vegetable. I almost always have it at home and it makes a base to many dishes. This time I wanted to make the leek the star of the dish. … Continue reading
Cauliflower & garlic soup
This year it feels like winter is a bit colder and longer than what it has been in a long time. I did read that it has not been this cold in the south east in ten years. The cold doesn’t deter me from going out and when I came out from the pub the … Continue reading
Blood orange upside down cake
The first time I read about upside down cake was when I read Janet Evanovich’s series about Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter extraordinaire with a mother who makes pineapple upside down cake. Before then I had never heard of upside down cake but it sounded enticing. I have been thinking of making my own upside … Continue reading
Crispy summer rolls
The year kicked off with one storm after another and plenty of rain! I am not complaining as it gives me a great excuse to slow down a little bit, catch up on my favourite series and cook new foods. I still have left over food from the holidays in the fridge and I am … Continue reading
A big bowl of Pho
For what feels like the first day in months I am having a proper day off. I had time to think about this past year and what might be to come. One of my ovens packed in on Christmas day, the turkey was just about cooked and I wrapped it in tinfoil and rested it … Continue reading
Loin of rabbit
Lately I have been working pretty much non stop, fulfilling orders and re stocking my own shelves with products to sell at the market. Working from home makes it so easy to go to the kitchen “just to make something” not quite realizing I am working and forgetting to take some time off. As I … Continue reading
Pork braised in soy with roasted garlic honey
What is growing in your garden? I love edible plants in mine but I also love when my neighbours have edible plants in their gardens and it is even better when we can share and exchange. One of my neighbours has a glut of basil and offered me some. I have a basil plant but … Continue reading
Cherry Salsa
I was reading Chef Mimi’s blog and saw an interesting recipe for cherry salsa. I have never thought of using cherries for a salsa and was intrigued. It seems that every time I bought cherries they never made it home as I couldn’t resist eating them straight away, or they found their way into a … Continue reading
Lunch at The Dog
The thing about karma is that you never know when it will intervene with your life. Last week arrived with challenges, nothing major but it was just niggling little things that went wrong and at the end of the week I felt a bit down. I like to keep a positive mind so I thought … Continue reading
A day out at Dungeness
The summer was elusive for a long time, it seemed all of Europe and most of the UK had a heatwave whilst we had cold, northerly winds sweeping over us. Then one morning we woke up and it was hot, summer arrived just like that! The weather has been so lovely ever since and I … Continue reading
