This is one of my favourite recipes (so far) for Pork tenderloin medallions with Port Wine sauce. Pork tenderloins are a great piece of meat but I find it to be so easy to over cook it. Unfortunately, I have been through that agony: slicing what seemed to be a perfect piece of heaven only…
Main Courses
Oven Baked Awrat
For a long period of my life, I wasn’t the biggest fan of fish (or even food in general) but it was always part of my diet as my mum cooks it a lot. From baked to grilled, fried, you can find fish on my mum’s table all the time. I guess it helps that…
Cataplana of squid
I have tried several Cataplanas before and I can’t choose which one I prefer. Maybe because it reminds me of home, I like them all. And you may think that it looks just like a normal stew recipe but I think the cooking pot in this case makes the difference. I know it’s hard to…
Roasted Turkey Drumsticks
I know it’s not Christmas, not even close 🙂 but I do like turkey all year round. My mum would cook it as much as chicken and I really like it. Fortunately, I can find turkey in my butcher, even outside the Christmas season. I have a choice between turkey steaks (I will show you…
Homemade Hamburgers
Oh who doesn’t like good burgers in the bun? Specially if they are nice, juicy homemade hamburgers? And I’m not talking about the some restaurants “claim” to be homemade – I’m talking about the real thing – the one you make with your own little hands 🙂 Every so often I feel like having a…
Baked English Breakfast
I really like a good English Breakfast. However, I would never to be able to eat it early in the morning or everyday!!! And, believe me, not even English people manage 🙂 After quite a number of years in England I can tell you that this is more of a Sunday treat that everyone likes to…
Broad beans and pork ribs stew
I am not the biggest fan of broad beans… we always had fresh from our land at and everyone loved them… My granddad would pick it up from the land and it was our job to take the broad beans out of the pods. It was a women’s job and I used to help too….
Beans with tuna and eggs in the oven
Sometimes, I just feel like cooking simple comfort food… and most importantly, easy and fast to prepare… True, some days I actually don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. Sometimes, when this happens I end up recruiting my boyfriend to the kitchen which is also a good thing. He cooks really nice…
Stuffed aubergines
I have been trying to introduce more vegetables in our diet so I’m always on the look out for new and exciting recipes. Like these stuffed aubergines 🙂 I always liked aubergines but never really cooked it much. It was always something I would have when dinning out but never at home. I’m not even…
