Broad Bean and Feta Risotto

by Dani

Being Sunday, it’s First Born’s turn to cook. Tonight, he has whipped up a broad bean and feta risotto in the thermomix. I can’t say it often enough, the thermomix is absolutely brilliant for teaching children to cook. The risotto was fantastic and First Born was very proud of himself. As well he should be. […]

Risotto meets colconnon

by Dani

Risotto is so quick and easy in the thermomix that it has become my fall back meal when all other plans disintegrate around my ears. Or when I’m feeling extremely lazy. This little beastie was inspired by a poorly stocked fridge, a late afternoon arrival home from a weekend away and the flavours of colconnon. […]

Dinner and dessert on our 13th anniversary

by Dani

A few people have asked me lately if I’ve quit blogging. Which is a fair question. No I haven’t. I just lost my blogging mojo, got out of the routine and have struggled to slot it back into my daily tasks. In fact daily is really just asking too much these days but I would […]

Broad bean risotto and the amazing vanishing bread

by Dani

Feasting Mexican Style

Sometimes I just feel like making the Bread Winner something special. His best something specials are pretty much always Mexican. The success of this meal indicated that Son and Heir has inherited his father’s predilection for south of the border flavours. South of the border in the colloquial sense, not literal, as that would be […]

Leftover Risotto

by Dani

I made a baked risotto with pumpkin, cauliflower and fennel the other night. I found the leftovers this morning. Which was fortunate because I needed to leave lunch for Lil Miss and the Bread Winner. Son and Heir and I were off to a birthday party. Press mounds of risotto firmly in to a greased […]

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 […]
