Most of us are guilty of buying, and cooking, more food than we actually eat.

Using up leftovers … Continue reading Leftover Makeovers

For a few days now I've been acutely aware of a 2kg tub of Greek yoghurt lurking in the back of the fridge. I'd bought it at bargain price, with great plans for making all sorts of delicious things, sweet and savoury.

As much as I’d like it to be so, we don’t own them, just agisting them on a couple of our paddocks. They are such peaceful creatures and love human company, unlike other alpacas I’ve come … Continue reading Elephant’s Foot Buns and Alpacas

Potatoes - so many varieties, so much to choose from. At times I’ve been sadly disappointed in the potatoes I’ve bought in good faith , especially when buying them by the 10kg bagful. Often they have been less than satisfactory – bruised or with a great hole in the middle, sprouting shoots and/or unpleasant to … Continue reading Hot Potato – and Curried Fish and Potato Bake
