L’affogato al caffé – coffee & ice cream in a cup!

Mid-afternoon miseries? Talk about a wicked pick-me-up …

The Cornish Pasty Association has decreed a traditional pasty should only contain beef, usually skirt steak, onion, potatoes, swede and seasonings. The pastry should be shaped in a D and crimped on the side. God knows what they would think of my effort! Yum, though.

Kitchen tips

To wash or not to wash. That is the question. What’s best? Find out!

Porter Cake

A hunk of a cake!

Cake tins

If you enjoy making cakes do yourself a favour and buy a good cake tin (pan).

Baking ingredients

A handful of really useful tips.

Tuscan Bean Soup

Go on! Drizzle a trickle of oil on top!

Carrot, Caper & Broccoli Salad

Bright winter cheer.

Baked Eggs with Spinach, Ham & Basil

Ding Ding! Breakfast is served (or make that brunch, lunch or supper).

Curried Parsnip Soup

Warming, satisfying and so very tasty.

Chicken Stock

A pot of stock is like a pot of hope – there are endless possibilities.

Parsnips

The best parsnips will have had an early morning shiver or two in frosty fields which sweetens them somewhat.

Baked Vegetables with Sizzled Haloumi

Way to go – jazz up a traybake with sizzled haloumi and a tangy dressing.

Hearty Beef & Mushroom Pies

Ha! This is really just a fancy-pants casserole with a pastry lid on!

My week, the good and bad of it

10th July

Flash Fridays

What did you do last Friday????

Seedlip Cocktails

Pretty as a picture, delicious to drink … Seedlip distilled non-alcoholic cocktails.

Honey Spiced Vege with Burghul Wheat

Serve this alongside lamb or chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal, but exercise self-control and make sure you put aside enough of this deliciousness for your lunch the next day.
