Sometimes I get cravings for gorgeous rich garlicky hummus.The only problem is I never remember to restock on chickpeas and tahini ( hummus’s main constituents) and living out here in the boonies means I can’t just nip down to the local shop and pick some up. Today is one of those days. No chickpeas and […] Choosing breakfast cereal for our family is a real pain. One person won’t eat weetabix and one will only eat it. Two eat porridge but only some days. Cornflakes or rice crispies soon lose their appeal and I have to make rice crispie buns to use up the end of the box. Many mueslis and […] We were having a heated discussion on Facebook with a canadian friend over the culinary merits of Putine ( which is basically chips covered in gravy and cheese, surprisingly yum).

Now I dunno about you but I dont know any kids who will happily eat any […] This is the cake we take when visiting as everyone seems to love it. Its so cinnamony, appley and yummy. This is another one of the cakes Mom used to sell at the market. It takes very little time to make and it uses up those eating apples sitting at the bottom of the fruit […] Yum yum yum !. I love Meat Pie. Not a very elegant name and somewhat misleading as the pie consists mostly of various vegetables. Mom makes it in the winter and I’ve started too as its a perfect winter meal.The recipe we use is my Grandmas. This is a traditional recipe among the Finns in […] Today my house smells fantastic as it smells of baking Pecan Pies. I always make them at this time of year for Dads birthday as he adores them and they are hard to find here. I always make one for Dad and one for us as we love them too. So I’m looking at […] I spent the day making both raspberry and strawberry preserve for saturdays market. The smell of strawberry preserve filling the house made me reach for a bowl to whip up a batch of scones to carry that gorgeous preserve. I decided today to make lemon to compliment the fresh strawberry preserve. The basic scone recipe […] |
