Autumn
Blackberry & Yoghurt Smoothie
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008England to me is a berry country, because they are simply everywhere in the summer and autumn. Wherever you walk, whether it is deep in a copse or on a sidewalk, you have to watch your step because of the bramble branches. With all their thorns they do hurt when they unashamedly prick your hands […]
Butternut, Green Beans, Red Onions and Tofu with Maple Syrup Glaze
Friday, November 23rd, 2007Who would have thought vegetables can be so seriously moreish? As soon as the veg-filled roasting pan comes out of the oven Neil and guests immediately have to dive in and seize their share. There must be a ravenous fairy living in this house. Or can it be Copper the Fox who lives in […]
Curried Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
Thursday, November 15th, 2007Recently I’ve checked my website statistics (the traffic has skyrocketed by the way) and saw a new site linking to me. Curious as always I went to investigate. Nicole from For the Love of Food decided to make my Chicken Calvados and it was a great success which really delighted me. After reading her […]
Lamb Meatballs with a Creamy Dill Sauce
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007The weather here in the UK has turned for the worse. It’s cold, damp and everything is grey. The sun hangs low in the sky, casting a stark yellow light fooling you into thinking it is 5pm in the afternoon when it is actually only noon. The novelty of shopping while it is dark hasn’t […]
Baked Pumpkin with Mushroom & Leek Stuffing
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Dark green, pale green, gray, orange, yellow, white, red, knobbly, smooth, ridged, small, enormous, round, oblong or ovoid. Ah yes, you know it is autumn when pumpkins start appearing at your local supermarket in all shapes and sizes. They are so versatile in cooking and yet I know few Britons who have even tasted it. […]
Baked Apples stuffed with Almonds, Honey and Cinnamon
Monday, October 22nd, 2007A meal is never complete without a dessert. Never. When the last crumb and dollop of sauce has been scraped from plate my tongue yells out “What’s next?!?”. Craving something sweet I’ll scour the pantry, looking for some bright-coloured wrapped candy. But alas, it is never there.

Potato & Onion Spanish Tortilla
Thursday, October 18th, 2007The Spanish Tortilla is not to be mixed up with the Mexican version. This omelette is one of the Spaniards’ staple foods. Stacks upon stacks of them are in the fridge compartments of supermarkets, ready to eat. In tapas bars they are cubed and speared on cocktail sticks, served with drinks. It can be eaten […]
Chicken with Apples in a Creamy Calvados Sauce
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Poulet Vallée d’Auge is the French name for this classic dish from Normandy and Brittany, which are the dairy and apple-growing regions of France. Chicken and apple is a match made in heaven. Paired with a light creamy sauce enhanced with some brandy is simply divine. This fricassée is seriously more-ish. Once you start you […]
Sweet Potato, Spinach & Mushroom Stew
Thursday, September 13th, 2007Yams, cassava, rice, peanuts, spinach, plantains and peppers are just a few ingredients that are regularly used in the rich West African cuisine. What surprised me most was the peanut butter in this dish. Curry and peanut butter sure sounds like a strange combination, but in reality it works beautifully. The peanut butter adds depth […]
