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!

Vegas – LA – San Francisco

One of my all-time favourite breakfast/brunch dishes is Eggs Benedict. Poached eggs sitting on roast ham, resting snugly on English Muffins and covered with hollandaise sauce.

Gold

Over the past few days it has been impossible to go to sleep comfortably due to the searing heat and high temperatures. Sitting, sweltering in humid, airless evenings has been unbearable. The thought of having to turn an oven on and subsequently heat up the house is quite frankly the last thing I’d want to…

Rock Chef

When it comes to food, Gibraltar should be very proud of herself.  Not only do we have a celebratory food festival “Calentita” in June where we celebrate food from the different backgrounds that make up our unique heritage but now we can add Rock Chef to our food culture. “Passion for food, fierce competition, a…

Kedgeree is at its most basic, a dish consisting of boiled rice, flaked fish, curry powder and hard boiled eggs.  It is thought to have originated from an Indian rice and bean/lentil dish called Khichri, and widely believed…

El Capote – Italiano

“Good company, good food and good wine!” That was the welcome and introduction that we received at El Capote’s 5th wine and food matching held Thursday 7th June. The theme for this evening’s dining experience was Italian.  As pretty much everyone had already been to at least one of the previous four evenings, they knew the…

Americana

Of all the places I have travelled to, New York aka New Yoik, is still one of my favourite destinations.  Having been there on three seperate occasions with three different groups of people, I can encouragingly recommend this place to everyone.  Other than the typical tourist attractions statue of liberty, times square, central park, etc which I will…
