Pears in saffron and cinnamon syrup

Finances have prevented me from going on holiday this year yet I’ve been hankering after the sun, sea and flavours of one of my favorite travel destinations, Turkey. Sadly it’s not going to happen but an invitation to escape to the wilds of the Highlands to learn to cook with…

Caroline von Schmalensee May 19, 2017 May 19, 2017
Coconut heavy with vegetables and rice. Making the everyday sing.

These days, I do most of my travel through books; cookery books in particular. A month ago I was asked if I wanted to review Sri Lanka: the Cookbook by Prakash K Siranathan and Nirajala M Ellawala. I did! I know very little about Sri Lanka and was curious to…

Colour plates, black and white images add to the interest of the Companion's entries.

Cheese is one of my Favourite Things. You can keep chocolate: cheese, in its manifold textures and flavours, is what I really love. You can imagine my excitement when the The Oxford Companion to Cheese came out. When I planned this post, the opening photo was of a glass of…
