It has been over 3 months since I last shared an un-recipe with you, so thought it high time to share another favourite. I remember eating sardines on toast for Sunday evening dinners growing up. Mom...
My sister-in-law Trish e-mailed me this recipe a while back and had I known how fabulous it is, I would certainly not have waited this long before making it. This pudding has the perfect balance betw...

I really should think about a shorter title but Chicken Meatballs and Cabbage doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. This makes for a scrumptious lunch or light dinner and comes together in no...
I have always thought a guavadilla to be a cross between a guava and a granadilla – turns out its just a yellow variety of the purple granadilla just bigger and smooth skinned, although I must ...
I have this ridiculously soft spot for animals of any kind. I would take in every single one (except for spiders) if I could, especially when we were living in Mauritius. It broke my heart to see all...
