All Things Green Pizza
July 8, 2011
I was so impressed with the flatbread dough from my last post (Middle Eastern Mince Flatbread), that I decided to make it again and go with a vegetarian topping instead! So, hot on the heels of the last dough-based delight come this, All Things Green pizza. So called, because I threw on it whatever green […]

Middle Eastern Pomegranate Mince Flatbread
July 4, 2011
I always find myself drawn to recipes with flavours from the Middle East. I think it’s something to do with the clever mix of spices and sweetness in the dishes and the pungent aromas and evocative nature of the recipes. From tagines, to dips, to amazing baked vegetable dishes. The flavours pack-a-punch that just work […]

Summer Berry Pudding (schhhh frozen berries!)
June 30, 2011
A great British summer brings with it bountiful fruit produce as our fields fill with succulent, juicy strawberries, finger-staining raspberries and fat, beautiful blackberries. Unfortunately though, our warm summer days can not be guaranteed and we are just as likely to be faced with a rainy day viewed through the window as we are a […]

Coco-Berry Bake Bars
June 26, 2011
I’ve been experimenting lately with cake bars. A slightly more solid version of cakey-lovelyness, which seem popular in a lot of my American and Australian cookbooks. The traditional sponge in all it’s forms still reigns supreme in tea shops and kitchens in the UK, but I think there may also be a place for these […]

Cherry Tomato & Chilli Jam
June 22, 2011
I love chutney and rarely buy the ready-made kind any more. Not because my own is particularly superior (in fact there are some jolly lovely chutneys available farm shops up and down the country) but just because making it makes me feel good!! Slowly simmering a pan of vegetables, sugar, spices and vinegar until it becomes […]

Raspberry & Almond Bake Bars
June 18, 2011
I do very, very much love the combination of raspberry and almond. In nowhere can it’s deliciousness be beaten than in the perfect Bakewell Tart. Pastry, frangipane, tart raspberries and smooth almonds combine to create mouthfuls of heaven. Perfection!! This I should point out though is not a bakewell tart! It’s a bit of everything really…. A […]

Cherry & Lemon Curd Tray Bake
June 14, 2011
I do love cherries! A quick scan back over the recipes on Parlour & Pantry brings back happy memories of Cherry & Ricotta Muffins and the decadent White Chocolate and Cherry Crunch Trifle. I recently chanced upon a greengrocer offering them at an absolute steal and bought a brown paper bag, greedily stuffed to the brim […]

Fabulous Fish Tagine with Lemon & Mint
June 9, 2011
My very darling friend Kaye recently bought me back two gorgeous tagines from Morocco, chancing both the luggage carriers and the discount airlines weight policy to get them to me in one piece. Along with this lovely present came a brilliant book “Tagines and Couscous”, bursting with flavoursome dishes for me to try. There are […]

Lemon & Rosemary Biscotti
June 5, 2011
I can eat oodles and oodles of biscotti! Somewhere in my head I have convinced myself that because they don’t contain butter they are not so naughty and therefore I can justifiably eat lots of them! For a long time I bought the ready-made biscotti that popped up in the supermarkets’ continental biscuits section a […]
