GINGERBREAD MEN TO PASS ON THE ARTE Y PICO AWARD!
“Cooking is a language through which a society expresses itself” Jean Soler Wholewheat Cinnamon Ginger Cookies… Made these 2 days ago with Amy @ Familia Bencomo in mind…HUGS to you Amy for the wonderful Arte y Pico award. These gingerbread men are very special because this is a recipe that I worked on a while ago for a teacher in the kids’ school who was HUGE on wholewheat healthy stuff & wanted some yummy cookies. The cookies are crisp, great tasting & cut-out beautifully. My favourite choice for gingerbread men & teddy bear cut-out cookies because these hold shape very well & the colour is just right…WARM & HAPPY!! They…

MANGO YOGURT PANNA COTTA…A TANGO WITH MANGO!
“…a big part of cooking is choosing the ingredients. And a big part of serving is doing it with pride” Ruth Reichl Mango Yogurt Panna Cotta…light & delicious With the mango season finally upon us, it’s difficult to stay away from this sensuous fruit. It is enticing, it is mesmerising, & it is bursting with juicy sweetness. The season will last the next 3-4 months & I intend to use this luscious fruit as much as I can! I guess you will see quite a few mango posts, some healthy & others not entirely so, popping outta my blog this summer (it’s already 42 degrees C here; small mercies that…

A TOAST TO ROASTED GARLIC…SPAGHETTI & FOCACCIA…& another award!
“Garlic is a habit and a passion.” Kim Upton, Chicago Sun-Times Of Spaghetti & Vegetables… this one’s a combination full-of-flavour! Bursting with flavour…an incredibly delicious focaccia! Ever since I read that Casa Bencomo has a huge jar of organic garlic waiting to be used up, my minds hit the garlic trail. Am sure the jar at Amy’s end is history, but my pursuit in never ending…garlic is one of my favourite ingredients. I was at a loose end for a meal one day…rummaged in the fridge & found bell peppers. Had a couple of heads of garlic & spaghetti. The Pasta Bible has place of honour on my bedside these…

DARK CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA…It’s all about the kidz in us!
“I can resist everything except temptation” Oscar Wilde Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta…deeply divine! Foolishly put the question across to the kids, asked them what they love to eat most….& nearly got run over in the ensuing melee. Sweet ranked supreme, & chocolate was the popular call.. “Chocolate panna cotta“ sang the chorus!! Did I have to ask? I seldom do because I like to keep rotating flavours, especially chocolaty ones, lest they get stuck on one. I asked today because Ben has a special kids event on for Food for Plastic Kidz as ‘Tupperware is celebrating April as Children’s month. The best part is that they are donating $1 from…

TIME TO PASS IT ON…an excellent award!
“Friendships develop over food and wine” Prince Nicholas Romanoff I made this cake once again yesterday…really enjoyed doing it. The basic cake is an orange flavoured sponge from a book by Sue Ross. It’s sandwiched with an almond whipped cream & topped with a dark chocolate ganache…really excellent. I made the one below using this recipe for the first time… A Chocolate Orange Gateau. You can find the recipe HERE. The word excellent has reminded me of some urgent & overdue stuff to be done. I have received this lovely award three times; once each from Susan @ Food Blogga, Joy @ Joy the Baker & from Andrew @ New…
