Have You Tried my Granola?
I get asked for this recipe a lot because I love to make it as a gift and give it to friends and family. I try to base the combinations on the time of year so that not only is it nutritious but also something I may be craving at the time or simply has a festive feel. At Christmas for example I usually do a Christmas granola infused with dried oranges, ginger and cloves, walnuts perhaps and anything that feels like the season.

Plum and raspberry crumble
This recipe is from one of my favourite cookbooks given to me by my good friend Julie.
It's called "Apples for Jam" and it is filled with lovely photos, heartfelt stories and amazing family recipes that are delicious.
This is supposed to be made with pears and blueberries but I've made it with all sorts of different fruits and it's just as good.
1 kg fruit
1 cup mixed berries
70 g sugar
200 g flour
50g brown sugar
150g softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Generously butter a 36x22x 6cm ovenproof dish. Halve the plums take out the pits and place them in the dish. Mix in the berries and sprinkle half the white sugar overtop.. Mix together the the flour, brown sugar and the rest of the white sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and vanilla and with your fingers rub the mixture together until you get a damp, sand like consistency. Scatter the topping over the fruit to cover it completely . Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is nicely golden. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
Barry's pork tenderloin
This recipe is one of my family's favourites. It's so easy to do and comes from a very special person in my family.
Sometimes I make extra and freeze the second piece so I can later pull it out of the freezer for a quick school night dinner.
Eaten with green beans, a green salad and potatoes and you've got a great dinner.
In a ziplock bag or a bowl put your meat and add
1 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup or less of soy sauce
minced garlic
you can also add ginger, lemon juice and any herb you like.
Marinade in the fridge overnight or at least 2 hours.
Heat the bbq or a skillet until hot.
Sear the meat on both sides then let cook about 12 mins, 6 minutes on both sides, until inside temperature is 139 degree. Let rest 3-5 mins
serve
Elderberry Syrup
This recipe is a lifesaver in the winter to boost your immune system.
Elderberries are full of antioxidants and vitamin C. Both honey or maple syrup have
anti bacterial properties making this syrup delicious and ohh so good for you!
It,s really easy to make and my kids love it too ( well not always but its good for them! )
The only challenge is finding the elderberries. Check local farmer;s markets and health food stores.
For 500ml
1lb elderberries
1 litre of water1.2 cup - 1 cup honey or maple syrup.
Boil the elderberries in the water until it becomes a thick syrup about 45 minutes.
Let cool then add the honey or maple syrup.
Drink 2 ounces every morning to stave off cold and flues.
Drink 2 ounces 3 times a day if you have a cold or flu.
My homemade Spicy oil
I make this recipe all the time. It's super easy super delicious, good for you and less expensive than most spicy oils.
For a 250ml
a variety of 8-10 different chilies
I buy thai chili, scotch bonnet, shisito, jalepeno chilies
3/4 cup olive oil
gently simmer the chilies in the oil until the become somewhat soft and very fragrant.
About 10 mins.
Remove from heat and place in a jar.
Does not need to be kept in the refrigerator depending on how often you use it.
Delicious Spelt flour Pear and Cranberry muffins
I adapted this recipe from Sophie Dahl,s cookbook Miss Dahl;s Voluptuous Delights.
I decided to add fresh cranberries because I've been craving them and I added less sugar than was called for.
Ingredients:
-2 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
-1 tsp ground ginger
-1 tsp ground cinnamon
-145g Spelt flour-
145g rolled oats
-225g Pear fruit puree (organic baby food works great!)
-4 egg whites lightly beaten (I used 2 whole eggs lightly whipped)
-125ml natural yoghurt-
1 2 cup of maple syrup
-1 firm pear - peeled, cored and diced (+ an extra pear for decorative slices on top if you like)
-110g cranberries
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Line a 12
muffin tin with paper cases.
Sift baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the flour and oats.
Make a well in the middle and add the wet ingredients and the raisins and diced pear. Fold it together, but don't over mix as a lumpy batter makes a lighter muffin.
Pour the batter into the tray, filling each 2/3 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Yummy Mousse au Chocolat
I got this recipe off the back of a Nestle Chocolate tablet when I was living in Paris and it is so easy to make and sooo good!
Ingredients:
-200 grams good quality dark chocolate
-6 eggs
pinch of salt
Melt the chocolate with a bit of water in the microwave or over a bain marie.
Separate the yolks and whites of the eggs and whip the whites with the salt until stiff peaks have formed. Add the egg yolks to the chocolate and stir until blended. Fold 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture at a time until all the chocolate is incorporated. Put the mousse into individual glass jars or one serving bowl and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
Makes 6 jars
Cheesecake with caramel sauce
I got this recipe from Donna Hay instead of adding the lemon juice and rind I leave it out and cover the cake with a delicious store bought caramel sauce.

There are so many simple but delicious and easy recipes to follow in this cookbook I just love it. This one is one of my favourite's and is perfect if you are a vegetarian. "Hey Jules I'll make it for you sometime!"
olive oil for frying
1 eggplant sliced unpeeled

Petit Pots de Creme
Either vanilla or chocolate
This is from a French cookbook that I've had for awhile but I never tried this recipe until this Christmas. It is so easy to make and delicious and great if you need a gluten free dessert. I make several and use them for school lunches.
Makes 4
Vanilla:
1 2/3 cup milk
vanilla pod
3 egg yolks
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Prepare your ramekins and a roasting tin for a bain marie.
Put the milk in a saucepan. Spilt the vanilla pod in two, scrape out the seeds and put everything in the milk. Bring the milk just to a boil.
Meanwhile mix together the egg yolks, egg and sugar. Strain the boiling milk over the egg mixture and mix vigorously. Laddle into ramekins and place in the roasting tin. Add enough boiled water to reach half way up the sides of the ramekins and bake for 45 minutes or until set.
To make the chocolate pots add 1 tablespoon of cocoa and 2 oz. of good quality dark chocolate to the milk instead of the vanilla.
Caprese Salad
One of my favourite summer salads
This is so delicious when the tomatoes are ripe and the basil is plentiful. It is one of my favourite summer salads that I learned to make when I worked at Terroni many years ago. Caprese salad is the type of dish that tastes better with better quality ingredients so I usually only make it in the summer when the tomatoes are at their peak and I use the best quality olive oil I have on hand. I'm also a purest so I never add vinegar to this dish.
2 ripe tomatoes
4 boccocini
fresh basil
olive oil
salt and pepper
Mix all the ingredients and serve.
Chicken Liver Pate
This pate is delicious, easy to make and freezes well.
I got this recipe originally on line and have adapted it slightly. I love it because its delicous, good for you and you can put it in the freezer. So if you have unexpected guests coming over its the perfect thing to serve.
1kg organic chicken livers
1 tablespoon bourbon ( or more, depending on how boozy you like it)
1 shallot
salt pepper
fresh herbs such as sage or rosemary
half cup of butter
Fry the shallot in 2 tablespoons of butter until translucent. add the chicken livers and cook stirring until browned but still pink inside about 8 minutes. Add the bourbon and cook another minute. add salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and whizz in a food processor until completely creamy.
Clarify the remaining butter by melting it and removing the foamy residue.
Put liver pate in ramekins, top with clarified butter and fresh herbs. cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Makes about 4 ramekins.
Homemade BBQ Sauce
Why buy BBQ sauce when you can make it
I do a variation of this every time I use BBQ sauce depending on my mood and the meat.
2 cups of ketchup
half cup of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon fume mix from La Pincee
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon of tabasco or chili of your choice.
Depending on what you are making you can add either bourbon, scotch or beer for more liquid.
Let your meat marinade or use right away. You can also boil this doen to spread on the meat at the last minute.
Happy BBQing!
Rachaels's Ravioli dough
Kitchenaid version
We did two types of dough, one with regular flour and one with spelt flour
both use the same ingredients.
4 eggs
1 tblsp. water
3 and a half cups flour
1.5 teaspoon fine sea salt.
Start your Kitchenaid mixer with the regular attachment with the flour in the bowl to start to break it up. Add sea salt.
Add eggs one at a time. Mix well, then slowly add water. change attachment to dough hook and continue to knead for about 10 minutes. check for dryness or wetness and add more flour or water as needed.

Brownies
My family's favourite
This recipe comes from a catering friend of mine. It is really easy to make and no fail every time.
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup of butter
2 cups of white sugar
1 cup of flour
4 eggs
a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave about 1 minute and then 30 seconds until it's all melted. Or in a double boiler on the stove. Add the sugar to the melted chocolate and mix, then add in the eggs and all the other ingredients. Mix well.
Pour the batter into a buttered 9x12 inch pan and cook in a heated oven of 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool then serve.
Pancake Soup
My Grandmother's recipe
This recipe was lovingly made for us as kids every year after Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our Italian grandmother or our Noni, as we called her, made a delicious turkey broth and would add in pancakes or crepes essentially stuffed with parmesan cheese and black pepper. It was a favourite from my childhood and continues to be one of my ultimate comfort foods.
Turkey Broth:
To make the turkey broth simply boil the turkey carcass with three litres or more of water, onions, carrots,celery and herbs for a minimum of three hours. Remove excess scum that rises to the surface and always start with a relatively cleaned carcass otherwise your soup may be too oily.
Pancake/Crepe:
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 cup of water
2 eggs
Beat all three ingredients together and if the batter is too thick add more water. You want the batter thin. Heat a frying pan with a little vegetable oil and cook your pancakes. Once cooked lay flat and sprinkle with a tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese and fresh grindings of black pepper. Roll and place two pancakes per serving bowl. Add the hot broth on top and serve immediately with more parmesan and pepper.
Enjoy!
MY sister Rachael's Gravlax

1 shot of vodka or tequila

In a serving dish large enough to hold the salmon, make a L shape with two pieces of plastic wrap.
Place your piece of salmon in the middle. Mix the salt and sugar and pour over the salmon. Next add the shot of Vodka and squeeze the lemon juice right on top. Cover with fresh dill. Wrap tightly with the plastic wrap and refrigerate 12-24 hours. the longer the better.
To serve remove the salmon from the plastic wrap and rinse thoroughly with water.

Serve with crackers, baguette toast or rye toasts, capers, dill, red onion, sliced lemons,
spring onions and sour cream.
Family favourite Meatloaf
by Tessa Kiros from Apples for Jam one of my favourite cookbooks!
I used to make this dish a lot when the kids were little. It's easy to make and very satisfying. you can serve it with a tomato coulis if you'd like.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Soak the bread in the milk for about 15 minutes, squashing it up with your hands so it collapses.
Cut the peppers in half lengthways, or keep whole. Cut the zucchini in half lengthways, then in half again to make chunks. Put to one side.
Put the mince in a bowl with the parsley, chopped garlic, parmesan, egg and squashed up bread, and a flat teaspoon of salt. Mix together until smooth, then form a very large loaf like a giant egg.
Drizzle half the olive oil into a large flameproof baking dish and put the meat-loaf on top. Cover with overlapping slices of bacon, tucking them in at the bottom. Scatter the vegetables all around, drizzle them with the rest of the oil and toss with some salt. Tuck the sage, rosemary and garlic under the vegetables. Bake for about 1¼ hours, turning the vegetables over halfway through. They should be crusty and golden and the bacon crispy. Remove the vegetables and meatloaf to a platter, and enjoy!
