Pumpkin, Almond & Cinnamon Muffins
Monday, April 28th, 2008With entries for this month’s SnackShots streaming in I started feeling a little bit uneasy. It just wouldn’t be kosher for the hostess not to take part as well, right? So here is my entry in all its glory and very healthy indeed.
Little Gabriel loves these muffins, even though he has no molars to […]
Pan-fried Soy & Honey Prawns
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008A few months ago I raved about my little discovery and shared my favourite prawn recipe. Now, here’s another one with an Eastern twist to it. Yes yes, I know. I used soy sauce and honey AGAIN. Seriously though, it’s a classic combination that will make a dessert taste even better. Just kidding, but you […]
Scrambled Egg & Chive Sandwich
Monday, April 21st, 2008In an effort to make lunch a little bit more interesting than an awfully average cheese sandwich, I’ve posted recipes for two different fillings so far: Egg mayonnaise & cress and Goat’s Cheese, Sundried Tomato & Walnut. Watch out, here comes another very eggy sandwich your way! Scrambled egg on toast is as famous as […]
SnackShots #2: Leek - Winners
Monday, April 14th, 2008At last the SnackShots #2 – Leeks event is coming to an end. Last month’s winners, Pete from This Edible Life, who won the first Word4Word award, and Gretchen from Canela & Comino, who won the overall photography section last month, as well as myself were the judges this time round.
So who won then? […]
Soy & Honey Chicken Liver Salad
Sunday, April 13th, 2008Spring is in the air and what better way to celebrate than with a salad? Fried, warm, cold or in pâtés; I like my versatile chicken liver in all shapes and sizes. Usually I underestimate the richness of this lovely offal and put more on my plate I could ever consume in one sitting. The […]
Goat’s Cheese, Sundried Tomato & Walnut Sandwich
Saturday, April 12th, 2008It has long been known that goat’s cheese and sundried tomatoes is a match made in heaven. Since I’ve been on a diet I miss this sandwich dearly. It’s hard to resist the creaminess of the goat’s cheese, tanginess of the tomato and crunchiness of the nuts. Yes, this sandwich has got a lot of […]
SnackShots #3: Muffin
Monday, April 7th, 2008Switch on your cookers, set up your mixers and slide on your oven mitts; we’re baking this month at SnackShots! The beauty of the humble muffin is that it’s so versatile and almost any ingredient is agreeable with the baked bun; from pumpkin and fresh fruit to chocolate chips. It’s a very creative theme this […]
SnackShots #2: Leek - Roundup
Saturday, April 5th, 2008This month’s subject was a bit more challenging than the potato last month. Afterwards I only realised dishes that contain +50% leeks are a rarity. No worries, instead more of the entries concentrated on the beauty of these jumbo spring onions. If you’re looking for some inspiration for how to use leeks, look no further […]
Baked Kabocha Squash & Butter Bean Soup
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008My love affair with the Kabocha Squash hasn’t ended. Our love is as strong as ever and I’m sure it will last a loooong time. Every week when Neil is out of sight at the supermarket I dawdle through the fresh produce section, I hear a “Psssst”. When I turn my head, there he is, […]
Tangy Honey-Glazed Shallots
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008What is not to love about this side dish? The slightly salty, sweet and sour flavours mingle, and tingle the tongue. The tiny onions are so tender that they almost instantly melt in your mouth. Visitors have to dive in quickly to get their share because when the Greedy Gourmet comes along it is highly […]
