Vegetarian Paella

In the very cold and very rainy UK, you have to take sunshine wherever and whenever you can get it.  The ideal solution would be to pack your suitcases and head to somewhere warm, like Spain.  Alas, I’m still here in soggy England but I grabbed my ray of sunshine with a vegetarian paella for

Spiced Plum Cake

On Christmas morning, I was in the kitchen with my younger son, who desperately wanted to help with the cooking.  As we’re vegetarian, and not really into the whole Christmas thing, dinner was nontraditional (enchilladas) followed by a very English-style pudding.  I had the dinner under control, so I supervised the cake making and I did

Tomato, Onion and Feta Baklava

I’m not particularly keen on cooking with pastry, including filo. However, this wonderfully warming supper dish is worth all the fiddly, thin-sheet filo manipulation as it’s delicious.  I made the tomato, onion and feta baklava for dinner this evening, and my only complaint is that there are no leftovers. Use fresh dill if you can get

Apple and Sultana Spiced Muffins

I love making muffins because they are just so quick and easy. Plus I usually have the ingredients around the kitchen to make a basic muffin. This recipe was born out of a need for cake, which I’m sure you can understand,  and only a couple of apples to add to the mixture. What you

Essex Spice Cakes

I think the name is a bit misleading as these cakes are more like big cookies but really when we’re talking about sweet things who cares?  I was sold when I noticed it used rose water – I love rose! This is an old recipe, probably back to the middle ages and made for religious

Apple & Onion Crumble

Normally when I think of a crumble my mind automatically takes me to apple crumble served with a generous helping of hot vanilla custard.  This is a crumble for dinner…. I know, it seems wrong not being a pudding but it’s quite good.  Even my picky eater younger son asked for seconds so it really

Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni

I’ve made cannelloni before but I’ve always bought those cannelloni tubes which are a nightmare to stuff.  You try and put your filling in one end to watch it shoot out the other. I never could master the damn things without making a huge mess of both me and the kitchen. This time I made

Vegetarian Toad In The Hole with Beer & Onion Gravy

I’ve had a few comments from my sons lately about how much they enjoy toad in the hole but as dinner is now strictly vegetarian toad was off the menu.  This is a meat free version which uses mushrooms instead of sausages hence my rather cheesy title. I served with roast potatoes, green beans and

Red Lentil Dhal Pizza

This is fusion food extreme. We’ve got Indian dhal, Near Eastern pitta bread, Thai chilli sauce and Italian cheese. On paper, these probably shouldn’t all go together but be brave and try these pitta pizzas because they are delicious. The recipe makes a lot of pizza so you might want to scale down accordingly. It
