Hasselback Potatoes

Fancy looking potatoes, aren’t they? You’d never think how incredibly easy they are to make. When I was leafing through Falling Cloudberries, I couldn’t help sticking a note against the recipe for Hasselback potatoes once I read the note from the author that said “Hasselback Potatoes are gorgeous: they have style and show up with […]

Caramelised Corn with Fresh Mint

When anybody talks about corn, I’m all ears. Just given me corn, butter, salt and pepper and I can eat that for all my meals, but make sure there is lots of butter. I’m always on the lookout to have corn in a newer, more interesting way. So when I saw a mint corn recipe […]

  Does this look like the same old broccoli that we are all used to? I love broccoli. I mean, what’s not to like? It’s healthy, it’s fresh, it’s colourful, it’s crunchy, it’s tasty, it’s great!

I loved going for these and making […]

Six Cheese Mac and Cheese

Six cheese macaroni does sound over the top. But you’d do this too if getting your hands on some good cheese was as big an event for you as it was for me. This past week, I stumbled upon a variety of cheeses at my local supermarket. A dull day suddenly became a lot more […]

Parmesan Risotto with Pine Nuts

I like love a good risotto – rich and creamy with the characteristic bite of arborio rice. It so wonderfully comforting to sit with a bowl of risotto and it’s even more fun when you’re not thinking *carbs*carbs*carbs* in your head.. I’d been craving for risotto for a while but wasn’t quite willing to toil […]

Herby Purple Potatoes

A couple of months ago I chanced upon some gorgeous looking purple potatoes on the web. I was deeply fascinated. Purple and potatoes? It seemed like nature conspired to grant one of my silly fantasies! I quickly put them on my list of things that I need to get when I’m traveling (or someone else […]
