Every year, the British cancer charity Macmillan invites to a Coffee Morning to raise funds for cancer care, which takes place on Friday the 25th of September this year. The idea is simple: sign up, get a pack, invite your friends, bake cake, serve them coffee and get them to donate money. Here in Britain, Macmillan has become…
The first time I ate raw seafood was when I was around 8 or 9: sitting on a rock off the Greek coast, my new-found friends showed me how to pick sea-urchins, pull them of the ground, knock them against the rock to open them and suck the insides out, on the spot. Needless to…
Perhaps one of the most beautiful preserves, these turnips are a pickled showstopper! I saw them on our trip to Edgware Road, where you can buy them ready-made in many of the little Middle Eastern shops, and where Petra and I enjoyed them as part of our Lebanese lunch. They work perfectly with other mezze,…
If you like the idea of ‘party food’ as food that involves making the food rather than just eating it, this is the dish to go for! Last year, I had the privilege to watch two experts making filo pastry for the classic Bosnian Sirnica, and what started out as harmless fun has become a proper…
This dish doesn’t need much by way of an introduction: the intensely sweet combination of sugar, pistachios and crisp filo pastry speaks for itself. As it takes a few hours to seep through, making it perfect for a party, such as Fiesta Friday! Every Friday lots of bloggers join the fun, linking up their recipes or…
Today’s been a very special day for many people: most importantly it marks the end of Ramadan for Muslims, who today celebrate Eid, the breaking of the fast. Fasting is always a stark reminder of how lucky you are – whether you fast for secular or religious reasons, during Ramadan or Lent, the fact that…
When Christine of Anna Antonia asked me to take part in a blogging event that required 3 bloggers to come up with a 3-course meal, I was incredibly excited – and when Christie of ASausageHasTwo joined, our theme was a no-brainer: English-Swabian fusion food. The idea o the ‘Flotter Dreier’ (a daring innuendo, I have to…
Als ich die Einladung von Anna Antonias Christine bekam, beim ‘Flotten Dreier’ mitzumachen und sich Christie von A Sausage Has Two dann auch gleich uns anschloß, da bot sich die Idee mit dem schwäbisch-englischen Fusion Food an. Schließlich verbindet die Württemberger und Engländer eine recht innige Geistesverwandschaft, wie die berühmte Rede des Langenburger Bürgermeisters anläßlich des Besuches von Königin Elisabeth II im…
It’s been a rather quiet few days on the blog, with my new celebrity lifestyle taking its toll: marking piles of coursework, planning the final lessons of the year and getting two kids from A to B via C. I even considered buying outsized sunglasses, but then remembered that our heatwaves are as short-lived as…
A few weeks ago we had a very special Fiesta Friday: following an invitation by the wonderful Selma, a few of us regulars met up in a beautiful setting just off Regent Street, for a bit of non-virtual fun. I was incredibly excited to meet so many of you in the flesh – reading your blogs,…
