Turkey leftovers

…some of you may also have some turkey meat lurking in your deep freeze, or a carcass if you’re lucky…

Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding

not many people are keen on panettone – is it bread or cake? It’s too dry to be cake but not doughy enough to be bread.  What do you have it with?  How do you slice it?  How do you serve it?  Are those raisins and bits of candied peel? 

Shepherd’s Pie

my favourite way of eating this was with a squeeze of ketchup over the mash and then mixing everything together into a plateful of dark, pink-brown gloop studded with baked beans. 

Lentils

I don’t know what the allure of cooking lentils at New Years is for me but I always like to start the year cooking a warm bowlful of them. It’s not as if I’m looking for something warm and filling as the weather has been sunny and mild over the holiday period and I’m stuffed…

Pea Soup

I remember we’d dry our rain-wet hair and crowd around the dining table.  Snuggled round a small, circular table, elbows touching, necks down plunging spoons into the golden, lava-hot, gloopy, yellow split pea soup we’d share our morning’s routines. 

Margarita Sweet Potato Wedges

Grill some chicken breasts and corn on the cob to make this a great mid-week family supper. But I warn you, the first time I made this I ate the entire tray of sweet potato wedges and left everything else!

Pumpkin

“The perfect pumpkin recipe to celebrate this fantastic gourd and welcome in those longer autumnal evenings.”

Jerk chicken and pineapple skewers

…just because we’ve changed our spades for satchels and sandals for suits doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a bit more sunshine in the kitchen…

Wagamama

Flash-forward over 20 years and in June 2016, after a social media frenzy of freebie tickets, £5 sittings and press evenings, we are treated to our very own Wagamama here in Gibraltar. With the stunning setting that Ocean Village provides, Wagamama, with its roots in Japanese-inspired cuisine, fits right in amongst the palm trees and ferns that line the promenade.
