We aren’t the greatest cooks, but really do enjoy trying something a little different. We had seen these biscotti biscuits made on the TV last week and decided to give it a go. Turned out to be very successful!

Day 324 – Croque Monsieur…
We are great fans of Masterchef and watch every episode. Last night, Marcus Wareing set the contestants a challenge to cook a traditional Croque Monsieur – essentially a cooked ham, cheese and cheese sauce sandwich, so I decided to have a go and try it myself tonight. Remembering the method from last night it didn’t turn out too badly…
Day 316 – Stirring It Up…
It’s become a tradition in our house that we make chutney every year just before Christmas. We enjoy it with cold meat and cheese, but it makes a welcome home-made gift for friends. We also make flavoured vodka and gin, but that’s another story…
Day 261 – An Indoor BBQ…
The weather hasn’t been good enough today for our planned BBQ, but that didn’t stop us having the food we planned – sausage kebabs with peppers, tomatoes and home-grown courgettes. Whereas most folks would just randomly pile the elements on to the skewers, in our house it’s an exercise in precision assembly – note the symmetry!
Day 257 – All Rise…
I usually make bread in the bread making machine – it’s just a question of popping the ingredients in, switching the machine on, and there’s a decent loaf of bread two hours later. No artificial ingredients and it tastes better than shop bread. Today I decided to make bread rolls – not bad for a first attempt – maybe a bit on the large side and with wholemeal flour perhaps a little ‘heavy’. Definitely edible though…
Day 223 – Double Trouble…
We had these two monkeys staying with us overnight, and for supper they were making their own pizzas. Total carnage in the kitchen!
Day 199 – Star Baker…?
This young lady was off school today with hay fever, and spent the day with us as her Mummy was working. One thing she loves is baking!
