I can’t believe it myself that at age 66 this is the first time in my life I cooked a real risotto, and Michaella (my younger daughter stuck in South Africa during this lock-down period) and I enjoyed it very much next to the wood fire on a chilly winter’s night in Johannesburg. It comes from a region in Umbria, where an excellent quality Saffron has been grown for hundreds of years, and this recipe is the signature dish of a restaurant in the area ‘Bistrot del Duca’ in […] Continue reading →

NAPOLI SAUCE

A delicious and very versatile sauce that can be used over pasta, various vegetable dishes, on a pizza base, thinned down as a soup …. in one word in any recipe where a hearty tomato sauce is required. I use it in the recipe ‘Airport Potatoes’ instead of tinned tomatoes (see previous recipe). It makes a big enough quantity so you can freeze some for a quick meal or two on busy days. INGREDIENTS 4 medium carrots 1 head of garlic 2 red onions 2 leeks 100 ml extra virgin […] Continue reading →

This is one of my great winter comfort food recipes and has been an all-time favourite with my children since they were little (they are now 28 and 36!). I found this recipe in a magazine many years back – it was from a cook book by Jill Dupleix, who poached it from the warming trays of the cafeteria at Rome airport – hence the name Airport Potatoes. I have adapted the recipe somewhat. You can serve it as a side dish, but we mostly make a meal of it, especially when adding the […] Continue reading →

This is a great, guilt-free, healthy snack which you can make in a jiffy – double up on the quantity to have some extra for when the snack attack hits.

This simple recipe is an adaptation from an already quick and easy one, but  the way I cooked it, it is even more super fast and super easy, yet delicious – real comfort food for a cold winter’s day. I was late starting to cook, and I was tired, but it took me no more than 30 minutes to rustle this curry up. It really lifted my spirits when I tucked in. Ingredients: 1 butternut, cut into bite-sized cubes (save the seeds & roast over low heat or in the oven with a little […] Continue reading →

I found this delicious Persian inspired recipe in an old magazine and adapted it somewhat. It is easy and quick to rustle up and a great change when brinjals are in season and one has run out of ideas of what to do with them. When I first made the recipe, I did not have enough brinjals, so I just baked some butternut wheels and dressed them with the same sauce and toppings. The result was just as tasty. So play around and use different vegetables. Any left over sauce can be used as […] Continue reading →
