EASTER PASHKA with CHERRY SAUCE
Pashka with Cherry Sauce
Well it is that time of year again…later than usual this year, but strangely here sooner than ever! Easter Bunny’s will be hopping all over the place I’m told in a few weeks. This recipe is a traditional Russian Easter cheesecake, and although rich, is very more-ish....

TOP TEN SALADS USING FRUIT…on here at least!
Watercress, Brocollini and Pomegranate Salad
You know me and fruit in salad…I think my kids have even stopped complaining about fruit showing up in a savoury salad because they are either;
A) resigned to the fact,
B) used to it or
C) enjoy it themselves now.
Colleagues are not so good with it, but...
CITRUS CURD
Citrus Butter/Curd
Based on my penchant for all things lemon, this was an attempt to branch out to some of my other faves; citrus in general. I had a bowl full of tangelos, oranges, limes and lemons, just begging to show up in a stunning recipe. I subsequently used this curd through some whipped cream...

PULLA MY LEG, THIS MUST BE BRIOCHE!
Is it Brioche? Or Pulla?
Apparently Pulla is Finland’s answer to Brioche, in a braid…and based on this delicately fragranced butter rich bread, I would say they did one better…(Are the Norse Gods listening?) This version, sporting saffron and cardamom, is a beautiful colour and the...
POWER BREAKFAST BARS
Persian Power Bars
I have been twiddling around with the idea of power bars for sometime as the ones you can buy are;
A) nasty tasting
B) bad for you in that they have masses of additives and
C) because I have a Thermomix and that is what I do!
Of course due to the masses of spare time at my disposal,...

CHOCOLATE ORANGE RISOTTO
Jaffa Risotto
Well it IS Easter after all. Slightly healthier than some of the other chocolate options around at the moment, and based on the use of very good ingredients, this should not scare you too much! Risotto is one of the most amazing canvases to which you can add flavour after flavour…and...
GOURMET GIFTS MADE EASY!
White Christmas with Candied Clementines
Fresh Pesto
With about 3 weeks to go till ‘you know what’, now would be a good time to start planning a few gifts for special people that come from your very own kitchen. I personally love to both give and receive homemade treats particularly if they...

BEGINNING CHRISTMAS PREP! aaarrgghh!
I hate to say it, but there are only around 10 weeks until Christmas and of course as all stores minds turn to high retail profit margins, all cooks minds turn to what they can produce that is tempting, delicious and enticingly different.
Well I have a couple of answers hopefully and so am starting...
