Pea & Pancetta Lumconi Pasta
This is going to be a bit of a rush job! But needs must and I have been promising this recipe to BigBigJoe for sooooo long! The last time that we made this dish, I couldn’t hold the scavenging horde back and they polished the whole lot off in nano seconds. If my memory serves [...]
Italian Sushi …. Rotolini di Salmone.
My life has been blessed with two beautiful family weddings recently. Both of my sisters have daughters. Cuzzies Melisa and Nicci married within 3 weeks of each other. Oh the joy of it all still brings happy tears to my eyes. Of course, weddings mean Bridal Showers and this means ‘pretty food’. Being ‘la mamma’ in [...]
Detoxing Super Juice
If you are lucky enough to have a weekday off it’s a great idea to start the day with a trip to your beauty spa/ salon for an energising body scrub. The spa that I go to is a little tranquil oasis on the busy Berea and they offer a beautiful sage and lemongrass salt [...]
Cannoli Siciliani ……. with love on Mother’s Day
This is a time that makes me reflect on the many ‘mothers’ I have known. And I use the word ‘mother’ in a very broad sense. One does not have to give birth to be a mother. I have been ‘mothered’ by so many incredible women over the years. I think of the many ‘nannies’ [...]
Vietnamese Chilli Meatball Soup to Warm You this Winter.
I find it impossible to walk past a second hand book shop or stall and some of my most treasured booked were obtained in this way. A few weeks ago TrickyRicky and I set off for a Saturday morning visit to the Essenwood Craft Market. With a spicy, crunchy and soul warming Falafel clutched in [...]
Kwa Cheetah Mfino Gnudi … Baked Ricotta Dumplings … Africa on a Plate!
Once upon a time there was a beautiful ballet dancer called Rosemary who lived in England. She fell in love with a very handsome life saver who came from a land far away! He came from a place called Durban in South Africa where the sun shone every single day. Rosemary and Shorty got married [...]
The Kings Breakfast … Scrambled Eggs with Parma Ham & Parmesan Cheese
Last week, I was sitting in my garden on the bench, staring blankly into my pond. This is my sacred place, where I go to sit quietly, to ponder and just ‘be’. I see the fish in my pond as fish; they are not my pets, well, all save one whose name is Spud! He [...]
Chinese Steaming Chicken Noodle Pots
My goodness but 2013 had taken off with a huge bang. Our Project Management and Engineering baby, Titan Projects has been blessed with oodles of projects and contracts. TrickyRicky, Max and I have been operating at warp speed. This combined with my joining the gym and embarking on a pretty strict calorie restricted diet has [...]
Light & Lean: Beetroot Falafel Burgers …. only 144 calories each!
I just LOVE Saturdays! TrickyRicky stops off at Essenwood Market in Musgrave Road and brings me a falafel and salad wrap home for lunch. It feels like such an indulgence when I sink my teeth into those spicy little balls! Last weekend Karmie and I decided to go and do a really long and intense [...]
Light & Lean: Fat Free Mango & Vanilla Smoothie only 57Calories!
I am having a bit of a day here! There are so many awesome dessert posts going up on Food24 at the moment that the little sugar dependent demon that lives on my left shoulder is having a field day. She keeps poking her demon finger into my ear telling me to eat chocolate! [...]
