Joyful Christmas Apple Crumble

Steffi asked me to share a recipe for apple crumble – I haven’t made this, but felt it would be totally wonderful and am now adding it to my repertoire. Buy hard, crispy varieties that are good for cooking. Not too sweet because there is a little coconut palm sugar in this recipe (which you can leave out if you prefer). This recipe if for a 30cmx30cmx6cm dish I have at home that would probably serve about 8 people, or 6 if you’re greedy 😉 Peel, core and cut into wedges as many apples as can fit into your baking … Continue reading Joyful Christmas Apple Crumble

Popeye’s Power Breakfast & How to Cook the Perfect Fish Fillet

We bought a whole side of salmon on sale – large fillet, boned and with the skin on.

Sarah’s Scrumptious Sausage Casserole

Talk about an amazing meal on a budget. This gastronomic delight cost about £7 and just keeps on feeding me back the yumminess. In a large casserole dish lightly brown about half a kilo of whatever sausages you like – vegan or meat and always gluten free of course! I chop them into about one inch sections so they are bite sized (depending of course on the size of your mouth and how hungry you are at the time of chopping!). In this one, I used Merguez, which are a type of spicy lamb sausage which my local butcher makes. … Continue reading Sarah’s Scrumptious Sausage Casserole

Jinya’s Warm Broccoli Salad with Roasted Spicy Almond Chunks

You could enjoy this at any time of day, but I had it for breakfast and it was very fitting indeed. While steaming some broccoli florets, grind a handful of almonds – not too much though. Warm some olive oil in frying pan on medium heat and add the nuts. Add a teaspoon of turmeric, a sprinkle of cumin, a dusting of sweet smoked paprika and a few caraway seeds. Gently fry until roasted. When the broccoli is tender (not too soft), remove from steam and in a bowl combine with pepper, olive oil and a teaspoon of rose harissa. … Continue reading Jinya’s Warm Broccoli Salad with Roasted Spicy Almond Chunks
