Nigella’s Chocolate Nut Bar

January 30, 2012 Recipes

Normally, when I go to a lunch or dinner at a friend’s house I take some chocolate brownies. But it has been so hot here in Adelaide that there was no way I was putting on the oven. No way at all. I don’t really do a lot of no-bake desserts so I was at [...]

Cucumber and Chilli Salad

January 12, 2012 Recipes

I’m generally pretty rubbish when it comes to things horticultural, particularly if they’re vegetables. Flowers I’m actually reasonable at. Vegetables – horrendous. So it’s come as something of a shock to harvest four telegraph cucumbers in the space of 2 days. This set me to start investigating cucumber recipes … and cucumber and chilli salad [...]

Chocolate Brownies

January 5, 2012 Recipes

I’m a keen user of delicious, which is a fantastic electronic way of keeping together all those things that in real life I’d have on bits of paper floating around the house (and driving Andy up the wall). It turns out I have 27 brownie recipes tagged (let’s not even talk about the 100+ chocolate [...]

Gluten Free Shortbread

December 20, 2011 Recipes

I’ve been doing a ton of cooking lately – a first birthday party, followed by a Christmas party and I’ve still got a Christmas Eve party AND the big day itself to go! For the first birthday I was on the hunt for gluten free (or coeliac friendly) recipes.  As with vegetarian food, I find [...]

Carrot and Coriander Galette

November 11, 2011 Recipes

This is really a very pared down version of Marcus Wareing’s recipe in One Perfect Ingredient. I’ve owned this book for ages and I love it. I’ve also been looking at this recipe for ages and never got around to making it. Either we have the coriander but not the carrots, or vice versa. It [...]

Spicy Fried Potatoes

November 4, 2011 Recipes

Everyone loves potatoes (don’t they?) but sometimes it’s tricky to do something other than sauté them, mash them, turn them into chips and so on. Last night I was faced with an Asian style fish dish (recipe to come) that needed an accompaniment. We’d had rice the night before, there were no noodles in the [...]

Lemon Chilli Chicken with Couscous Salad

October 18, 2011 Recipes

Well, the lemon chilli chicken part of this is really pretty straightforward. What is interesting is the couscous salad. At the risk of sounding like a broken record – I’m quite into salads and during summer we eat quite a lot of couscous. But mixing through the same lot of vegetables can get a little [...]

Lime and Chilli Steak Fajitas

October 14, 2011 Recipes

Randomly picked from an old cooking magazine this turned out to be the perfect mid week supper.  At the same time, it’s so tasty I think we’ll definitely be dragging it out for summer BBQs. This time it’s Australian Gourmet Traveller, December 2009 and the “Gourmet Fast” section provides our dinner.  I skipped over the [...]

Asian Beef Salad

October 4, 2011 Recipes

Another foray into the magazine archives and something I was quite excited to come across. This time, it’s the July 2001 issue of Food and Travel. The Swift Suppers section features recipes from Vatch’s Southeast Asian Salads: 6 salads from all over south east Asia. I needed to work with what I knew to be [...]

Crispy Parmesan Pork

September 27, 2011 Recipes

Apologies for the colour issues in this photo! I’ll stop taking pictures with a camera phone! Another foray into a rogue cooking magazine, another quick supper. This time it’s the April 2011 UK Delicious, brought as a present by my best mate when she visited for a couple of weeks earlier in the year. The [...]
