Eliza — Sun, 13 May 2012 01:01:37 +0000

One of my favourite comfort foods is a good chicken stew served with dumplings. When I was going through a particularly bad patch a short while ago my mother created these wonderful butter dumplings which, for me, are absolutely wonderful. REPLACE WITH SUET DUMPLINGS, IF PREFERRED. 6 to 8 servings Chicken Stew 1.15 litres chicken [...]

Honey & Rosemary Marinated Pork Kebabs with Mandarin Orange

Eliza — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:20:36 +0000

Orange and honey makes a wonderful, often used, marinade for Kebabs. One variation I particularly enjoy, because I love roasted oranges and they are a delicious accompaniment to salad, is the addition of mandarin wedges to the skewer. The mandarin flavour impregnates the pork during cooking, and the mandarins are absolutely delicious eaten this way! [...]

Lamb & Spinach Curry

Eliza — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:38:33 +0000

I have to admit I have only recently come to appreciate a good curry. My limitation over previous years was generally nothing more daring than a Chicken Korma or, at times, Biryani.

Video Recipe: Flat iron steak with parsnip

Eliza — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:41:03 +0000

Steak and Chips, I have to admit, is one of my favourite dishes when I am wanting a quick and simple steak dinner. The parsnip is a great replacement for traditional chips – lending the dish a lovely sweetness. Even so, done medium to medium rare, this steak recipe is great.
