Dutch Baby with Apple

April 27, 2015

DutchBaby-6

Dutch Baby or a German pancake is just like a giant Yorkshire pudding baked in a skillet. It’s made with pancake batter, and puffs up and get wonderfully crisp when baked in a hot oven. It doesn’t take long to make, and is best eaten, piping hot straight from the oven (you won’t be able to stop yourself anyway, just be careful and eat it with copious amounts of vanilla ice-cream).

Cheese, Herb, Prosciutto Frittata

Fritatta4

I am not sure how I would survive without eggs. Obviously I bake a lot, but I also rely on eggs for a lot of my meals. A fried egg and butter sauteed kale is one my favorite quick lunches. Baked eggs with toast or a chive and cheese omelet are great meals when I am in a hurry. Frittata however is one of my favorite meals with eggs, as it can be made in advance and eaten later.  This particular recipes works great for brunch, lunch or supper, and is delicious hot or cold. It’s got lots of sweet caramelized onions, waxy potatoes, fresh herbs, salty cheese, and crispy prosciutto. It’s so good, and so simple to make. So, if you are stuck for ideas, and want something incredibly tasty and easy to make, you can’t go wrong with this recipe. Continue Reading…

The OH jokingly said he is going to open up a restaurant called Fad. The idea of this fantasy restaurant is that it serves only the latest food fads – whether it is macaroons, bacon, kale, cupcakes or cake pops! He could be onto something 🙂 people become obsessed by food fads. Continue Reading…

Vegetable Crumble

January 24, 2013

Who ever said crumble had to be sweet? Savoury crumbles are one of my favourite things to eat -crumbly, cheesy, nutty, and full of flavoursome vegetables. For some reason, I always associate crumble with the cold weather. It’s a really hearty and satisfying meal, and  pure comfort food for me. Continue Reading…
