soup

Hi Local butcher gave me 3Kg of beef bone which I thought I would make into a hearty winter soup. I did a bit of googling and my inventiveness got as far as boil it with some pepper corns and bay leafs! Anyway, 6 hours later I removed the bones, fat lumps and returned the stripped off the...

I was thinking monochrome - a pure white soup with a wisp of black garnish. Celery & apples are a classic combination: think Waldorf salad, think cheeseboards. The Pernod adds an aniseed twist to this subtle soup and Parmesan adds savoury depth. A sharp apple is called for here, for otherwise...

I have a very old cookbook, one if the first, if not the first that I ever purchased for myself. We needed to cut costs. We were just out of university, my then fiance, now husband had just landed is his first job (accidentally, but that's another story). We were broke, living in a one up one...

I decided to pickle some ginger last weekend. I was unpacking groceries as they sat in a jar on the counter, and I started thinking about them together with the apples I had just bought. When I think of ginger, I think Asian food, so what followed just came naturally. I wanted to create a swirl...

Greek tomato and lentil soup

I went looking for this recipe earlier to use party of a massive head of cauliflower I bought at the weekend and couldn't find it anywhere. So with one clue as to which cookbook it was in, I went and looked it up. We've changed the recipe because the original calls for both dairy milk and...

This is from the book Green Word Cookbook by Rachel Demuth as part of the Cookbook Challenge no 5. The recipe is straight forward enough, though my ability to obtain Onion Squash was a challenge but I did have something that looked the same as the picture, I just don't think that it was an...

Served with Ikea veggie balls for protein

DH wanted to make this recipe to use up some leftover pork. It is from one of the books from Cookbook Game #4, but I can't use it for the game because he didn't cook the pork per recipe. But he did make the Posole Pork Rub and coated the leftover pork in it. He also wanted to make this recipe...
