We started the New Year with Eggs Benedict, a favourite here

I got home today to find my new book My Italian Kitchen by Laura Cassai had arrived

One of the best comfort dishes, macaroni cheese

Cherry crumble, perfect for a cold blustery rainy day

A super quick super tasty steak roll

A veal steak with a fresh vibrant tomato and olive salad

Today I had a bit of a cooking fest making peri peri, plum jam and roast tomato pasta

Tea smoked duck breast, a dish I have wanted to try for a while

A warming bowl of carrot soup for the unexpected autumnal days we appear to be having

Orzo chicken and pea one pot, so amazingly simple and so good

Cauliflower tikka, I took one of my favourite dishes ever and turned it veggie

With the bad weather, the mint braai lamb and pea salad was sidelined for lamb rogan josh

Strawberry and vanilla pavolva

Take one chicken

A hot sticky day had me dreaming of the beach
