Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
You may have noticed that we’re part way through Farmhouse Breakfast Week (20th-26th January 2013) here in the UK, aiming to highlight the importance of breakfast with a campaign called ‘Shake Up Your Wake Up!’ Coincidentally, I wrote a piece about breakfast early last week, focusing on the importance of a good breakfast for children before school and [...]
Believe it or not, this breakfast-brunch was not a hangover cure. We have been recovering from the winter flu bug and I’m trying to cram in as many vitamins and as much goodness into us all as possible. So, here are my Swiss Scrambled Eggs - a warmed all-butter croissant, filled to the brim with spinach, ham, Gruyère cheese and scrambled eggs. You could [...]
My children love chocolate and they’d ask for a sprinkle of cocoa every day if they could. Luckily, we manage to avoid most sugary breakfast cereals and instead we go for a bowl of milky porridge or Weetabix, so they are usually allowed a little pinch of cocoa. Breakfast smoothies are a good option, too, if [...]
A beautifully bright Saturday morning! If you are on a health kick, or as in my case, feel like you need to be, then this salad is the perfect prescription – my late Summer Fruit Salad with Pomegranate and Pistachio. Late summer fruits are always the most delicious. They’ve had lots of time to soak [...]
I have never actually visited the island of Jersey, but I do know that it is well-known for its local produce and that it has become something of a hot-spot for award-winning restaurants and producers. It’s definitely on my rapidly growing ‘must-visit’ list! Every year I look forward to the new season’s Jersey Royals, which in my [...]
We are always in a hurry on weekday mornings, but as often as possible I try and go for a protein-based breakfast over sugary cereals. The children tend to eat porridge or a whole wheat cereal (they are well trained) but sometimes we have quick scrambled eggs with various bits thrown in. Often we add ham, spring onions or mushrooms, [...]
I have a slight obsession with chives and unfortunately for my husband who dislikes it, with dill. It stems from my Polish foodie upbringing as both herbs are used fairly extensively in Polish cooking. Chives are called Szczypiorek and dill is called Koperek. Both can be grown easily and I tend to chop mine and freeze it [...]
This weekend we treated ourselves to a fine American breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup. I was inspired by a recipe in Diana Henry’s newly re-published book Roast Figs, Sugar Snow ,which is packed full of cold-weather recipes. As it happens, Sunday was lovely and mild, but the pancakes did set us up perfectly for a trip to Peppa Pig [...]
Well, this is both exciting and scary at the same time! Ta da – Fabulicious Food! has made the very long cyber journey across from Blogger to WordPress! I am totally overwhelmed by the help, expertise and professionalism of Liz of Violet Posy Design who has done an amazing job, with about a million technical issues thrown at [...]
I want to win a week in a Tuscany Villa! I was recently challenged to create a Tuscan-inspired recipe, which included three key Tuscan ingredients – olive oil, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Tuscany, Tuscany, Tuscany… I last visited Tuscany around nine years ago, during a visit to my sister, who lives in a small village in the North of Italy. [...]
