This Classic Ratatouille – French, Fresh, & Flavourful is all those things. It is very easy to make too, on the stove top. Additionally, Rataouille as you may know is a mix of vegetables, sautéed (or stewed). Moreover, it makes a wonderful combination of flavours. Therefore, it is perfect to serve hot, warm or cold. […]
Buttery Fruit Shortcake Biscuits are so easy to make. Not only that, but they taste great too, as you might expect. Fruit Shortcake biscuits are popular in the UK and are readily available in supermarkets. But this version is even better, since it uses butter instead of the more common palm oil and sunflower oil. […]
This recipe is for The Perfect Croque Monsieur, or The Ultimate Croque Monsieur: Crispy, Cheesy Perfection. It is a really delicious dish which is quite simple to make. You can enjoy it for lunch or maybe with a salad for a more substantial meal in the evening. Croque Monsieur is a very famous French dish, […]
These Apricot & Coconut Flapjacks are so easy to make. They don’t use too many ingredients either. A basic flapjack can easily be enhanced, as here, with some dried apricots and desiccated coconut. Flapjacks in the UK are different to those in the USA. These are oat bars, or squares, full of butter, brown sugar […]

Candied Peel Muffins are quick and easy to make. Using my soft Italian Style Candied Peel is what really makes them. However if you don’t have that you can use soft dried apricots instead, or even sultanas. The chopped mixed peel that you can buy in UK supermarkets isn’t quite the same thing. That is […]
Italian Style Candied Peel is wonderful. This version is so much better than the chopped mixel peel you can buy in stores. Often, in fact probably always, the mixed peel you can buy in stores is very hard when you bite into it. Not an entirely pleasant experience when eating a fruit cake. This Italian […]
Red Lentil, Spinach & Feta Bake is very easy to make. Not only that, but it has lots of flavour, and is so filling too. Red Lentils, as you will know, are so good. They are cheap too, which is always a great advantage. In this recipe they are processed into a lovely, smooth, batter. […]
Belfast Baps – Large Bread Rolls are just that. Popular in Northern Ireland, particularly in Belfast they are crusty on the outside and lovely and soft inside.
