IMG_7776

Don’t you love it when you re-discover old favourites after some time of not making them?  When I found this recipe and made it for my children, the older ones were quick to say “this reminds us of when we were little”.  Don’t get…

Mulberry Jelly Pie

This is a special seasonal treat.  I am sure many of you have fond memories of hanging around the heavily fruiting mulberry tree eating as many mulberries as you possibly can.  I have memories of Mum asking us to pick mulberries to make a…

I don’t eat refined sugar….but if I had to say what “was” my favourite all time chocolate bar, without hesitation it ‘was’ a Bounty bar! I have always been a lover of anything coconut, but not mad about large amounts of chocolate. For me…

Turkey for Xmas? Turkey for easter? Turkey anytime? Why not?Fortunately we have a friend that supplies us with home grown free-range turkeys in exchange for other goods. It always seems like a task to tackle a huge bird like that….deboning, and making stock.  This…

Beef Rendang

This meal, rich with spices, comes from Indonesia. We often find it impossible to make curries to suit our families as someone is sure to like it super hot, while the children prefer it mild. This is technically not a curry. It is fragrant…
