Guest Post by Mowielicious: Blackberry and Ginger Granita

August 2, 2010 Recipes

I was at blogger’s dinner a few months ago when someone mentioned Mowie. Everyone’s eyes lit up and the conversation centered around his gorgeous photography and wonderful kitchen creations. What’s not to love? He bakes. He styles. And he does it all with such beauty and finesse. I have often found myself

Deep Dish Apple Pie

July 26, 2010 Recipes

Somebody commented the other day (via email) that I had been doing a fair bit of baking lately.  I assured the reader that I would be including a few savoury recipes soon.  It’s just that, with the colder weather, I’ve really been enjoying being indoors and cooking to my heart’s content.  And I suppose comfort [...]

Mandarin Jam

July 11, 2010 Recipes

I couldn’t resist these mandarins at the market the other day.  Real mandarins, with branches and leaves.  No glossy, plumped up “wrapped in plastic” specimens here. The man who sold them to me had a perplexed look on his face when I said I would be photographing them!   And they were a delight to [...]

We’re off to Nicaragua this week.  I’m meeting Joan from Foodalogue there on the next stop of our virtual culinary tour dubbed as “South of the Border“.  It’s been great fun so far and very rewarding and I can highly recommend you join us!  Nicaragua is the largest country

Greek Yoghurt and Berry “Pops”

January 9, 2010 Recipes

Ok. It’s hot. Bloody hot!   “Ζεστη” as we say in Greek.  (And I’m sweating like a mad Greek!)  I want something that will cool me down and calm me down.  It’s fierce out there!  And it will be the same tomorrow apparently.

Cherry Clafoutis

November 22, 2009 Recipes

Instead of making this dessert during cherry season, I made it a few months ago when cherries were not in season.  Why?  At the time I was a little over the cooler weather we were experiencing and wanted to give my spirits a little lift.  The bad thing about doing such things is paying a [...]

“Spicy” Carrot and Apple Cakes with a Maple Buttercream Frosting

September 30, 2009 Recipes

I wanted to take a break from my current Thailand postings to bring you a recipe that I created for this month’s Royal Foodie Joust.  The RFJ, for those of you who don’t know is in my opinion, the web’s most friendliest cooking competition.  Run by the lovely Jenn from the Leftover Queen it allows [...]

Crumpets For Breakfast

September 3, 2009 Recipes

I find myself becoming more and more of a breakfast person as I get older.  Don’t get me wrong, I always eat something in the morning but these days I make a little extra effort to fuel my body for the days activities.  Funnily enough, I can’t stay loyal to one brand of cereal long [...]

Baked Apples “Baklava”

June 3, 2009 Greek Food

Apples are everywhere at the moment.  I spotted these beautiful “Golden Delicious” variety the other week and knew I wanted to play around with them as soon as I got them home.  I was planning a dinner party and I wanted to present a low fat option for dessert.  Something sweet enough that wasn’t too [...]
