Chunky vegetables in a rich, fragrant tomato sauce, are topped with fluffy cheese & herb scones to create a delicious savoury cobbler. This weather is starting to get me down. Every time I think it’s getting warmer and Spring is springing, the temperatures plummet again and the torrential rain starts up, …
Do you remember where you were the first time you ate a particular thing? Obviously not everything, but things that were exciting, surprising, or just amazingly delicious? I certainly remember the first time I ate fish with sauce vierge. It was about 15 years ago, and it’s still one of my …
Summertime Shabbat lunches = SALAD. When the weather warms up, if the food isn’t cold, then I don’t want to know. It’s too hot out to be leaving the oven on or warming things up. The food needs to be served fridge-cold, or at most, room temperature. So, the annual search for new …
I’d better come clean – this was supposed to be a lasagne. But when I went to the cupboard to get the lasagne sheets, there were only about 3 in the box. A quick rethink, a look at what we did have – conchiglioni! – and the ingredients were repurposed …
Do you ever feel disappointed that you didn’t think of something sooner? That’s how I felt about this amazing fish pie pasta bake. But my disappointment was mitigated by the fact that I could eat a big plateful of deliciousness – creamy, gooey, fishy deliciousness, with the added benefit of …

As a result, I’ve been craving shakshuka pretty much every day since! Fortunately, a dish of spicy, saucy vegetables and eggs is entirely compliant with my current …
“This is the best thing you’ve made for ages!” So spake DH as he tucked into a bowlful of this delicious savoury pasta. Kipper, I’m sure, would have voiced her approval too, but she was too busy stuffing saucy pasta into her mouth. Not a bad result for something I threw …
So much going on in this delicious dinner, I’m not sure where to start. All I can say is, despite having lots of bits to it, I did manage to get this on the table in under an hour, so it can’t be too tricky, right? And it’s certainly yummy! …
If you’re anything like me, now that Pesach (Passover) is over, you’ll be leaping joyfully back onto the pasta wagon and gorging on oodles of noodles, making up for a week (was it really only a week?!) doing without. Fortunately, I’m able to share a whole load of delicious pasta …
