Great food is like great sex. The more you have the more you want ~ Gael Greene
Today’s dish of the day is inspired by the beautiful photography of my friend Janette. Every day she posts photos that she’s taken on her blog, and Saturday’s post was of her supper. Normally, photos of someone’s random supper would be about as appealing as trench-foot, but (as you’ll see if you follow this link) [...]

This is the third, and final, installment in today’s edition of the Fabulous Friday Feast. I know that tiramisu is not exactly earth-shattering these days, but it is still lovely, nevertheless.
I hope that the rich creaminess of the desert is the loving, rich and comforting end that both emphasises and contrasts against the fruitiness of [...]
This is the second installment in today’s edition of the Fabulous Friday Feast and is meant to be served alongside the paw-paw and avo salad. I think that the fresh, slightly exotic taste of the paw-paw in the salad, perfectly offsets the comforting delicacy of the chicken.
I love roast chicken. To me it’s one of [...]
This paw-paw and avo salad is the first installment in this weeks Fabulous Friday Feast – I’m sorry that I’m posting it so late, but as I only thought of the Feast idea today, I didn’t have much time to prepare. Next week, I promise to be more organised!
To me there is nothing more appetising [...]
Watermelon, Feta & Black Olive Salad
Having spent an hour and a half, last night, making a risotto-inspired rice pudding (which was delicious, but not that delicious that it warranted 90minutes of stirring) I thought I’d post something particularly quick and light today, to make up for last night’s kitchen marathon.
This little beauty is another Nigella [...]
Yesterday Sam read the sorry saga of my recent, catastrophic muffin failures (see the muffin misadventures) and mercifully decided to take pity on me. Being the kind person that she is, she left a comment saying that she had a brilliant recipe for Banana and Pecan Nut muffins and would I be interested. That’s a bit [...]

I have to confess – tonight I cheated and used shop made pesto. It was so nondescript, bland and dull (and oddly brown) that I decided that today’s dish of the day, had to be proper pesto – call it an atonement for my laziness, if you will. You see, although ready-made pesto may be [...]

Chocolate Cloud Cake from Nigella Bites
To compensate for the horror of the muffin debacle, I’ve decided to post a foolproof (yup, even I can make this) recipe for a cake so delicious it should require an age restriction, or 3 hail marys, or a savage self flagellation session – some sort of atonement. It is, quite [...]
To me the combination of goat’s cheese, olives and phyllo pastry is utterly mouthwatering – quite frankly, this could look like a rugby player’s sweaty jockstrap and I’d still want to eat it (albeit with a clothes-peg firmly plugged atop my nose) but happily this is as beautiful as it is delicious. As an added [...]

During summer, we eat this salad (or some variation of it) literally every night. I know that sounds terribly boring, but frankly I think a meal without salad is like a loo without loo-paper, technically functional, but mighty unsatisfying! And, the addition of figs transports this salad from your bog-standard greens and feta mess, into [...]
