WISHING YOU WELL

WISHING YOU WELL

When this photograph was taken recently we were enjoying dinner together, which we rounded up with a lovely Cherry and Ricotta Tart. What a difference a week makes! Now that we’re all involved in social distancing, we’re reminded of all the wonderful relationships and friendships we share and the closeness we normally take for granted ….

ROAST POTATO WREATH

ROAST POTATO WREATH

Here’s a pretty and decorative idea for the humble roast potato. Take some potatoes, slice thinly, smother in garlic oil, pack tightly together and roast in a hot oven. When done, form them into a wreath shape, while trying to resist pinching the best crispy bits, add some green and red garnish and you have a Christmas decoration for the table and something lovely to go with the main course ….

CHRISTMAS TREATS

CHRISTMAS TREATS

It’s not as if anyone really needs anything more to eat after feasting on a big Christmas meal but, personally, I always think that the indulgence needs to go just one extra mile on such a big day and I love to produce a BIG plate of special little sweet treats ….

CUCUMBER CUPS

SNAPPER CEVICHE ON CORN CHIPS

SNAPPER CEVICHE ON CORN CHIPS

Ceviche is a traditional Latin American fish dish and is full of tongue tingling aromatics such as lime and coriander. We’ve tweaked the regular recipe to include ginger and preserved lemon, but our Snapper Ceviche on Corn Chips is only gently spiced, so as to not overpower the subtle flavour of the snapper ….

'BUSH' NOEL

'BUSH' NOEL

In planning our blogs for Christmas this year we thought that the traditional European Yule log might be nice for the dessert. Often referred to as a Bûche de Noël, after the French version, it is a fun cake to make and loved by all who like chocolate (everybody) ….

PASTA SAUCE WITH GREENS, HERBS AND SPECK

PASTA SAUCE WITH GREENS, HERBS AND SPECK

We have not often discussed pasta on our gluten-free website. And that is because until a few years ago edible pasta of any shape, size or description was non-existent. But, Halleluja! Good quality gluten-free pasta can now be found in supermarkets around the country and and it’s probably high time to suggest some healthy and imaginative sauces to go with it ….
