Chocolate and Guinness Cake

It is that good.

Recipe of the Week- Chorizo and Peppers with Chickpeas

Chorizo and Peppers with Chickpeas

A summer tapas, yet hearty enough as a meal on its own.

I cook this often as the 45 min braising is perfect to get the dish on the go early and prep the table, relax with guests, or wrap up kiddies for bed time etc.

Recipe of the Week - Dukkah

Dukkah

Can be expensive to buy but so easy to make! (Good Christmas present too!)

A great way to add flavour to many meals.

A quick starter for dipping fresh bread with a favourite olive oil, or sprinkled over a green salad to add some simple punch.

I like to add it to roast vegetables too.

Recipe of the Week! Cauliflower braised with Turmeric and Dill

Cauliflower braised with Turmeric and Dill

A quick side dish with loads of flavour.

Turmeric is also known to have loads of health benefits, so is good to have a few dishes that include it on a regular basis - helps fight certain cancers (combined with cauliflower has shown to prevent prostate cancer), is anti-inflammatory (good for arthritis), helps combat Alzheimer's by removing amyloyd plaque build-up in the brain, is a liver detoxifier..

For another quick way to include turmeric, add a tsp to rice when cooking.

Recipe of the Week - Chocolate Guinness Cake!

Chocolate Guinness Cake!

This is my favourite cake for special occasions and I had to remind you all again how wonderful it is.

The Guinness adds a depth of flavour and slight malty hints, plus a silky, rich texture.

The cream cheese icing to top it off like the froth of a beer is perfect!
