Seasoned Pioneers’ spices conjours up happy memories of South Africa

Kerry Teakle March 6, 2018 March 2, 2018
Bobotie - a Cape-Malay creation spiced up with cumin, coriander and cloves

The Beast from the East inspired me to revisit a recipe from warmer climates and thanks to some spices from the Seasoned Pioneers, I’m going to transport you to Knysna, South Africa reliving flavours and memories of somewhere I spent six months in 2003.

Walnut pasta – a filling recipe for chilly days

Caroline von Schmalensee January 30, 2018 February 2, 2018
Walnut pasta: quick, easy, delish.

It’s January and I’m trying to go out less. This means cooking more. For all kinds of reasons, I’m not in the mood to cook (something I’ll discuss in a later post) so I look for simple and fast dishes that are tasty and ideally also healthy. This walnut pasta…

Vegan onion tart: making my signature dish plant-based

Caroline von Schmalensee September 26, 2017 September 25, 2017
It looks a little scorched but those dark bits just add extra caramelisation. No, honestly.

The Vegan Society recently congratulated a number of Scottish SMPs for issuing a motion to support the Society’s Vegan for the World campaign. Part of the campaign is a challenge for all of us to go vegan for a week for the environment. I’m not vegan but most of what…

Kerry Teakle February 7, 2017 January 25, 2017
My smoked bacon and leek macaroni cheese is the ultimate comfort food

With the new year came a tightening of my purse-strings as my working week has gone from five to three days. I therefore need to cut back on eating out yet there’s still a need to catch up with friends but on a budget.

In a pickle: Pickled Onions

Bread Baker Danielle November 21, 2012 April 25, 2017
Pork & Pickled Onions Recipe

I’ve discovered a new store cupboard ingredient. One of those useful things to have when you need something  to brighten up a dish and when you’ve run out of fresh ingredients. You might be surprised when I tell you it’s pickled onions, or pickled shallots. I was inspired to try…

Comfort stew – eating when the vegetarian’s away

Caroline von Schmalensee March 22, 2012 January 8, 2017
I like a bowl of stew that has everything in it. You don't need much with this. Except a glass of wine, maybe.

I don’t really miss meat or fish. I miss particular dishes. When C goes away I cook and eat differently from when he’s here. Within minutes of the door closing behind him I revert to an earlier eating pattern and slow cooking for pleasure. Breakfast becomes fruit salad instead of…

Pasta puttanesca works in more ways than one

Caroline von Schmalensee October 20, 2011 April 25, 2017
Roast beef, puttanesca and grated carrots. Yummy!

It’s been raining all day and I am in the mood for autumn food. Summer foods are green and bright with lemon: autumn foods are brow, red and bursting with umami. Today, I wanted roast beef but not the way it’s normally served. I didn’t fancy the heavy, full protein-starch-greens…
