Although I had never heard of Stir Up Sunday before, the idea greatly appealed to me: traditionally the last Sunday before Advent was used in Britain to make the Christmas pudding. The family would gather and each member would get their turn stirring the pudding. With the advent of convenience food, however, this tradition is…
Red cabbage is one of the greatest delights of autumn: and not just because of its glorious purple colour! The complex taste of this member of the brassica family is highlighted in this simple recipe by adding a cooking apple, bringing out the sweetness as well as adding some acidity for more depth. Although I served this recently with…
When Dana challenged me to take part in a bakealong – or ‘Friendly Fire’, as she calls it in her naturally belligerent ways, I felt excited and scared at the same time: have you seen Dana’s blog, I’ve Got Cake? Her posts, pictures and recipes are a-ma-zing! I lover her potty-mouth style and envy her…
St Martin’s, or Martinmas, is particularly popular with German children: in kindergardens, infant schools and at home we make paper lanterns to use for the processions that take place on the evening of November 11. This is followed by a family dinner revolving around a roast goose, which is the point where adults start enjoying it, too. Although I…
Some of you might remember my Hello Kitty fest a couple of weeks ago, for today the recipient came to visit in order to make her own cookies. This time, however, there was not a Hello Kitty in sight, as I had purchased a cookie stamp of my own: ‘Naschkatze’ is what you call someone who…
Can you think of any symbol of man’s arrogance more potent than the Titanic? The sheer scale of it, as well as the decision not to clutter its look with too many lifeboats (or, rather, sufficient lifeboats) because, after all, the ship was unsinkable, all these factors explain our ongoing fascination with the ship. What is less known,…
Have you got a particular place you always think of when talking about food? A favourite restaurant, a particular kitchen, or a shop you went to as a child? For me, when talking about food shopping, I always think of St George’s Market in Belfast, which takes place in an old Victorian covered market on Fridays and…
Living in exile means not only missing the foods you grew up with, but also falling in love with the foods you encounter in your new home. In an ideal world, you are able to combine the flavours and textures in some sort of fusion – which is what I have tried to do with…
Have you ever wondered how to fit several kinds of meat into one single dish? What a bottle of wine could do to a stew? Or how to cook pig’s trotters? If yes, this traditional Alsatian stew will come as a true revelation to you, a shining light that will guide you through the cold winter…
This is a post about cheesecake. Not any cheesecake, but the one you’ve always wanted to make. The one your granny or aunt made for you when you were little, but when you asked how they did it they just told you not to bother, it was too difficult. And that was it. When Marta…
