Candied pecans with turmeric

Candied pecans with turmeric

Want a snack with just a hint of exotic flavour, just that hint of spice try Candied Pecans with Turmeric. These are not like the store bought Candied Nuts that taste like they have had a can of Coke dumped on them.

      A subtle hint of Turmeric with Ginger and a whiff of Cinnamon. The very light touch of Honey and the goldenness of Coconut.

Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta

Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta

This porridge might have been a staple in ancient times but I bet they never had it this good. Tangy Goat Cheese, the richness of whole Cream and Butter, the fragrance of Thyme and the wonderful sweetness of Honey… all encased in Creamy Polenta. This brilliant side dish works so well with slow roast tender Meats.

Roasted Tomato Bruschetta

Roasted Tomato Bruschetta

      Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Shallots add a little zesty Goat Cheese, some sweet sticky Honey and tangy Lemon Zest. All topped on a beautiful Artisan Baguette will put a smile on every face at your party.

Banana Bread

Banana Bread

      What to do with all those old Bananas? No matter how many or how few you buy, there are allows silly Bananas sitting on the counter. We all have the same issue, what to do with overly ripe, brown skin Bananas. The answer is, drum roll please, Banana Bread Ta-Da.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

The easiest Chicken Noodle Soup you will ever make, minus opening a box and adding water. What really adds flavour to this Soup is fortifying the Stock with a whole Chicken. Don’t be scared, the term fortifying basically means to add more flavour to an existing Stock.

Cucumber & Mint Dip

Cucumber & Mint Dip

      A light refreshing, dare I say uplifting, Yogurt based dip you’ll love. I came up with this Cucumber & Mint Dip on a whim to accompany the Moroccan Meatballs recipe. It turned out so well I have since used it on Butter Sautéed Broccolini and a dip for Corn Chips.
