Pagan life, with just a hint of fairy dust, of a UK Witch
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Bread and butter pudding is a traditional British dessert (not to be confused with bread pudding which is more like a cake) . It’s baked slices of buttered bread with dried fruit and spices – quite delicious, especially when you serve it with custard. But then, I think most things are delicious with custard. I [...]
First off, this isn’t really lasagne. It’s a bake which uses those old tortilla wraps which sadly get discarded and forgotten about. But I make it in a lasagne dish so it sort of, very tenuously, makes it almost a lasagne. I made this dish last week and I’ve made it again tonight. It’s packed [...]
First, I have to apologise for the photo. My husband decided to help get dinner ready and he put the salad leaves into a cereal bowl. I almost had a Dutch fit…. had to do a lot of deep breathing and kept telling myself ‘it’s only a bowl… it’s only a bowl’. I tried to [...]
