We are in spring artichoke season. I got a bunch of different types from Natoora: the choke-less Italian mammole type, tiny little purple ones, large ones with deep spikes on the edge of each leaf. I prepped them all Roman style. Ideally you need a small curved knife some Italian chefs get a paring... Read More The post Recipe: artichauts à la barigoule appeared first on MsMarmiteLover .
This is a quick roasting tin recipe. Shove it all in and roast for 40 minutes approximately. I cook this way a lot because I have an Aga. The Aga rule is 80/20: 80 percent in the ovens and 20 percent on top. If you want to turn this vegan, replace the feta with smoked...

I ve been wanting to make a cheesecake for a while, mainly to convince my granddaughter that such a thing exists.

My granddaughter likes to dunk. I pick her up from nursery a couple of times a week... Read More The post Christmas biscuit recipes appeared first on MsMarmiteLover .

Hasn t this summer been wonderful? Lots of sun and rain and my garden just loves it. Everything is blooming: sour cherries, blackcurrants, mulberries and blueberries. Last summer, every evening after nursery my granddaughter delighted in picking off the blueberries and munching on handfuls of them. This summer we gathered them to make a fresh blueberry...

I have an Aga oven which is on all the time so I m motivated to make oven-based recipes. The rule with an Aga is to cook 20% on top, and 80% in the ovens. Last week I made an easy high protein recipe: roast tofu block. I m a big fan of tofu generally but this...

Sour cherry trees are not as common as sweet cherry but I have one in my garden. For the first time I got a decent crop, not entirely scoffed by the birds, as in previous years (nets help!). You can buy frozen sour cherries in Middle Eastern corner shops look in the freezers. I... Read More The post Sour cherry and rose ice cream recipe appeared first on MsMarmiteLover .
