Speedy Laxpudding

Speedy Laxpudding (Swedish Salmon Pudding)

This has to be one of the finest examples of Swedish home cooking (husmanskost). This, for me, is nostalgia on a plate; Laxpudding or Salmon Pudding is a meal that is a wonderful way of using up leftovers, however that doesn’t mean it needs to be relegated to the status of a mere mid-week supper. …

Dark chocolate Pots

Dark Chocolate Pots

These deliciously Dark Chocolate pots may well be the ultimate chocolate fix! Silky smooth and creamy, yet light and not too rich at the same time.  One pot is satisfying but always leaves you wanting more…. Chocolate is not only universally popular and incredibly versatile. But assuming that sumptuous soufflés and intricate tarts are not…

This delicious onion, pearl barley and cider soup is packed with intense caramelised onion flavour, with hints of thyme.  To make this extra special I like to add a side of cheesy…

Stuffed Gem Squash

Mushroom & Spinach Stuffed Gem Squash

There are so many beautiful and unusual squashes available in farmers markets now. So appealing to look at with their colourful, speckled skins and knobbly shapes.  Any squash works well stuffed, however Gem and Acorn happen to be my absolute favourites. With delicate, creamy flesh, they’re delicious just baked with a knob of butter, salt…

Panna cotta with Rosehip Coulis

Panna cotta is possibly the most delicate of all desserts, an extremely fragile mound of cream and milk, occasionally dusted with vanilla, and set with the merest amount of gelatine to just hold its form. The main ingredient is of course cream, so don’t use anything less than the best, a good organic double cream…

How to make Rosehip Jam

Autumn brings a whole host of delicious fruit for us to cook and preserve.  Among them are blackberries, crab apples, sloes and rosehips. Well, what are rosehips? They’re the fruit of the rose plant, orangey-red in colour, ready and ripe to pick in early September in the UK.  The most common rose hips are from…

Elderberry poached pears

Elderberry Poached Pears

I love to forage as autumn arrives, it’s not just about finding free food, I feel a real connection with nature. Our ancestors foraged for almost all of their food, but this fell by the way side with the agricultural revolution.  However in the last decade, foraging has made a big comeback.  No longer a…

Griddled Sardines, Spiced Mayo I spotted fresh C Griddled Sardines, Spiced Mayo
 
I spotted fresh Cornish sardines at my fishmonger’s yesterday morning. I had to buy them because I have been wanting to replicate a dish we had in Porto when we visited recently. I obviously didn’t have the exact ingredients for the mayonnaise but I think I came pretty close to the original. Simple, tasty and a very inexpensive midweek meal!
I don’t know about you, but we have been eating I don’t know about you, but we have been eating salads all week. I have no inclination to cook in this extreme heat. Here’s one we ate yesterday…

You’ve probably got ripe bananas in your fruit b You’ve probably got ripe bananas in your fruit bowl, right? Slice and freeze them, they’re great for nice-cream. Perfect for hot sunny days like today. 🍦😎 

Freeze sliced ripe bananas until completely frozen. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the nice cream.
Blend the chunks in a food processor or high-speed blender until smooth, with a little yogurt and milk of your choice (I used coconut). Then add flavourings of your choice.

Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or place in the freezer 1 to 2 hours for a firmer consistency.

Flavour options:
(Freeze the fruit in chunks)
Passionfruit
Mango
Peach
Nectarine
Raspberries
Strawberries
Cacao

Rifling through my recipe file, going back a long Rifling through my recipe file, going back a long way! I came across this Swedish breakfast bread recipe. I used to bake this all the time, and had totally forgotten about it.
This is a yeasted loaf, made with wholegrains, kefir, stout and caraway. It has the most amazing depth of flavour, delicious for breakfast or lunch.

If you have no interest in learning how to bake sourdough but like to eat nutritious and healthy bread, then this is definitely worth having a go at. It’s a simple and straightforward process.

On the other hand, I’ll be converting this recipe to a sourdough loaf. I’ll be posting both some time in the next week.
