Cheesy Goodness

by Dani

Oh my heavens I love cheese. Bugger chocolate (nice though it can be), I’ll take cheese any day. So for a cold winter evening, I made this combination of cheeses with some pasta, pumpkin and sage thrown in to flesh it out. Tortellini with Pumpkin, sage and three cheese sauce adapted from yet another Super […]

Pumpkin and ham hock soup

by Dani

One of my favourite things about soup is how the simplest combination of garnishes can dress it up so much both in flavour and appearance. I used a new combination this time and found the combination of textures and flavours to be perfectly complimentary. Pumpkin and Bacon Soup serves 6 – 8 1 kent pumpkin […]

I did the pumpkin thing again

by Dani

Admittedly it wasn’t such a hit with the Ankle Biters this time but my friend Cath and I were mightily impressed. I roasted the pumpkin the day before when I was cooking dinner which made them really quick and easy to whip up too. Budget too, perfect! Pumpkin, Walnut and Feta Scrolls adapted from Super […]

by Dani

Pumpkin and Cauliflower Oven Baked Risotto

by Dani

I had intended to a plain old oven baked pumpkin risotto tonight which is yummy and easy to throw together but I needed more flavour in my life. In thinking of what vegetable I had that would combine well with pumpkin, I remembered a recipe I’ve been dying to try for ages and a heap […]

Baked pumpkin and leftover lamb risotto.

by Dani

I’m starting to get some order into the freezer. I can actually see the back of the top shelf! I found some leftover leftover roast lamb soup lurking in there. That’s a fabulous recipe from Nourishing Traditions. One of those dishes that isn’t massive on flavour but extreme on hearty. Anyway, it was an odd […]
