Lentil Tomato Soup and Bread

There is nothing more comforting on a cold winters day that a steaming hot bowl of soup - especially this simple tomato and lentil soup which, I might add, I created today with no recipe in sight (owing to the fact I dont actually own a recipe for this soup but desperately wanted it!) Actually, I have to admit, it was born of necesstiy -  with storms overhead we had no wish to make the journey to the store, and we had few ingredients in. That said it was well worth both the effort and risk! … [Read more...]

I love Spanish food, and this recipe is no exception. Torrijas are a traditional Spanish Easter treat sweetened with honey.

I adore Cornbread Muffins but I admit I do not actually make them that often... in fact I have only made them the once with the following recipe. I´m just not an expert in this department and although they turned out OK they didnt exactly rock my boat. I´ve had better... So, if anyone is feeling generous and has a wonderful recipe they would like to recommend to both myself and my readers I would love to hear it! Just drop me a comment if you would - I would love to hear from you and will … [Read more...]
