Winter is finally drawing in on us and so my yearning for heavier meals and desserts which "line your ribs" for the cold has increased. Rice Pudding was always served often when I was young - usually with a generous dollop of jam in the middle! Even now it has remained one of my favourite comfort foods, kept almost exclusively for when I require comfort and a taste of my childhood. I encountered this video recently which should help anyone to create a good rice pudding - alternatively … [Read more...]

I have to admit my rice is not always perfect - I can cook paellas and risottos until the cows come home, but give me the job of turning out a nice pile of white rice, and I will often deliver minuture bullets or white mush! The following video will help anyone who, like me, struggles to get a really good result when cooking basmati rice. … [Read more...]

I absolutely adore rice pudding so when I went through a period of veganism (currently debating whether to return at the present moment in time) I invented this vegan alternative using rice or soya milk. Back in the UK I always preferred the flavour of rice milk to Soya - but Spain has the most delightful soya milk drink sweetened with brown sugar - it means I have to use less sugar in the mix and it is truly wonderful - vegan or not I am sure you will enjoy this healthier rice … [Read more...]

Rice Pudding has to be one of the ultimate comfort foods, and while I will always defend the great British rice pudding I do love "Arroz con leche". I should get therecipeblog.co.uk up and running really. I like it warm or cold depending on the season. I remember late evenings meals sat out on the terrace overlooking Lake Iznajar munching Arroz con leche from little terracotta bowls.
