My favourite cake – Nigella’s Clementine Cake (How to Eat)

Posted on October 25, 2013 by p • 7 Comments

Would you like to know how to make a cake that is all of the following? moist citrussy sweet – kids will like it …but with a bitter edge that takes it into grown-up territory high in protein (shrug… some people are into that) friggin’ easy – pretty much all you do is stir it … Continue reading →

Fresh Bread Cooks: southern style BBQ for the 4th July

Posted on August 23, 2013 by p • 3 Comments

Continuing the Americana theme from my last post on Bowery to Williamsburg: it’s only a month ago that I had my aunty’s birthday celebration over at my house. Given that she had just come back from a holiday in the USA – Noo Yawk to be more precise – and her birthday falls in a … Continue reading →

Domestic Goddess: Salty Sweet Peanut Cookies

Posted on August 9, 2013 by p • 4 Comments

I’m trying to cook as many recipes from my Nigella cookbooks as possible, and started a series to cook through How To Be a Domestic Goddess some time ago. Well, it’s been on the back burner but here’s a review of her Salty Sweet Peanut Cookies. Nigella says that there’s “something about the contrast between … Continue reading →

Fresh Bread Bakes: Chickpea Brownies (gluten free)

Posted on August 2, 2013 by p • 4 Comments

I’m always on the look out for gluten free recipes due to having a couple of friends who are coeliacs. In my travels across the internet (goodness, I sound like a wandering star) I have come across several mentions of putting chickpeas in brownies. Odd, I thought. That seems like a very strange thing to … Continue reading →

Fresh Bread Cooks: Zucchini and Mascarpone Orecchiette

Posted on July 27, 2013 by p • Leave a comment

This is a tale of an exciting tip-off. Mr B’s mother told me that in Eley Road, Blackburn South, there existed some sort of magical nut emporium where one could buy nuts at vastly cheaper prices than the supermarket. I filed this away as a “huh, that’s interesting, I didn’t think any of those shops … Continue reading →

Baba Ghanoush, Smoky Eggplant Dip

Posted on June 8, 2013 by p • Leave a comment

…otherwise known as what to do when you have Too Many Eggplants (aubergines, if you’re Nigella). I espied three forlorn looking eggplants on the reduced for quick sale rack at Maxi Foods and snapped them up because I’d been meaning to give baba ghanoush a go for ages. Smoky, silky, seductive eggplant dip… what’s not … Continue reading →

Cooking with Jamie – Jools’ Favourite Pasta

Posted on May 26, 2013 by p • Leave a comment

Well, it doesn’t look like much, but I had a go at one of Jamie Oliver’s recipes from quite a while ago (the Cook With Jamie tome): Jools’ favourite Saturday Afternoon Pasta (the recipe is available here, and basically involves tuna, fennel, cinnamon, lemon and chilli in a tomato based sauce). This dish is not … Continue reading →

Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals: Spicy Cajun Chicken

Posted on May 15, 2013 by p • Leave a comment

I got Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals for Christmas, like half of Australia (I requested it since I love Jamie food), and have been meaning to document some of the things I’ve been cooking out of it. The book is actually quite inspiring because it tempts you to break out of the after work mould and … Continue reading →

Posted on December 5, 2012 by p • Leave a comment

While frantically trying to clear my backlog of restaurant reviews in order to take my blog on its new Second Year journey, I do need to post this recipe in a timely fashion for Christmas: Fruit Mince! Charged with making the mince pies for the family Christmas this year, I thought I’d try making fruit … Continue reading →

A is for Almond Biscuits and Apple Cakes

Posted on October 29, 2012 by p • 1 Comment

Some more baking going on Chez Moi: some delightful gluten free almond biscuits (for which I got the recipe from a friend, but I note they are very similar to a Nigella recipe from Feast). And, an semi-successful experiment where I tried to recreate those apple cakes you get from bakeries all around Australia, because … Continue reading →
