Miso Burgers
Every now and then I feel like a burger. I don’t want to go to a burger joint, I want to make one, just the way I like it. A burger is one of those things that can be quite revolting when wrong and utter bliss when done right. Then what is right is of … Continue reading
Fish pie with smoked prawns and scallop
I don’t know how it is where you live but there is an autumnal feeling in the air. Some mornings are still warm but no matter what the weather it is always a treat to start the day with a walk along the beach. This morning the clouds were hanging over the pier and I … Continue reading
Chilli Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits
One of my favorite brunch dishes is buttermilk biscuits. There is something about the whole process. Sleeping in just a little bit, getting the ingredients out, measuring them up, baking them, the smell and to eat one when they are still warm and the butter is melting. This morning the only thing better would be to … Continue reading
Cauliflower pizza
A while back I did cauliflower pizza. All the hype made me so curious I knew I had to try it. It was a disaster and it literally crumbled. I have since researched plenty of recipes. Getting the pizza steel from the Pizza Steel company made me think it was time to create a recipe … Continue reading

Cauliflower mac & cheese with guinea fowl in a sticky lemon sauce
Spring came with beautiful sunshine. I even managed to sunbathe in the garden without being totally wrapped up, all for one glorious day. Sadly since it has become a bit colder again and I was instantly craving comfort food. This weekend locally grown cauliflowers were on sale in the shops and I bought one. … Continue reading
Truffled skinny mac & cheese with sage roasted chicken
The weather is much colder with winds from the East. I turned the heat up and made sure we have a good supply of fire wood. The blankets have been washed and I feel ready to well, hibernate! As this isn’t an option the next on my list is comfort food and mac & cheese is … Continue reading
The comforting taste of a quiche
Quiche is one of my favourite dishes. I don’t make it very often and sometimes I cheat and buy ready made but it is just not the same. My love for quiche is not shared by M who will eat it but sort of look around for a main course afterwards. M’s hesitation doesn’t stop … Continue reading
