Thai Coconut Congee

Thai Coconut Congee

Thai Coconut Congee, so what is it? Essentially it is a rice porridge made by boiling rice in a great deal of water or stock until it breaks down into a pudding-like consistency.  It’s a classic Chinese breakfast dish. It’s also a staple in many other countries, including Burma, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, and even parts…

Roasted Vegetables with Tonnato Sauce

Charred Vegetables with Tonnato Sauce

Ever heard of Vittelo Tonnato? It’s a dish from Northern Italy, very popular in ’80’s. Consisting of a creamy mayonnaise-like sauce flavoured with tuna and anchovies, served with cold sliced veal.  It may sound odd to you but this combination works tremendously well.

Parsnip, & Ginger Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Parsnip & Ginger Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

A roast isn’t complete without roasted parsnips – and they add a whole new dimension to casseroles and soups too. The trouble is I have a glut of them, little did I know when I planted the seeds back in May, they would do so well. So now it’s parsnips with and in everything! So,…

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. …

Spiced Monkfish, Barley & Beetroot Risotto

Spiced Monkfish, Barley & Beetroot Risotto

Monkfish has to be one of the ugliest fish in the sea, but it totally makes up for it in taste.  The fillets or tails are often slimy and have a thin membrane, which must be removed but don’t let that put you off.  The flesh is meaty and has a lobster-like texture and flavour,…

Chocolate & Cardamom Buns

Swedish Chocolate & Cardamom Buns

Chocolate and Cardamom Buns, sound good don’t they?  Those of you who follow me will know that I love buns in all shapes, sizes and flavours.   After sharing a coffee with my son the other day, we talked about making them, so now I would like to share them with you.

Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱 What do you do when y Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱

What do you do when you find yourself with lots of wild garlic and a delivery of fresh eggs? You make pasta of course!  With the season just beginning, it’s just too tempting not to use these fragrant leaves in just about everything.
What have you been making with your wild garlic?
