I blame my friend Karen. She sent me the link in the first place, and it was that link that had me thinking about pork belly so much that I couldn't get it out of my head. You ever have those times when you read a recipe, or hear about a dish, and you know …

Nigella’s Easy Almond Cake
It was Easter. I like Easter. It means that spring is here. Or might arrive soon anyway. Easter is an odd time for me, being half Cypriot, because the usual Greek things that happen usually involve family. LOTS of family. I don’t have that, so there’s not the impetus to do things that there used …
Flapjacks
I’ve recently been watching a fabulous cookery show called A’Fuine, made by BBC Alba. A down to earth show about cooks up in the Hebrides, all cooking in their own kitchens, with no fancy camerawork, or hipster brown bags of ready weighed out goods. The equipment is well used, in many cases old and handed …
No Dough Pizza
No dough pizza. (Low carb high protein, NOT low fat at all.)The cheese is essential to this, really. It holds the base together and gives it a more crust-like taste. You can add chopped fresh herbs to this, different meats, whatever you like. It’s good hot or cold.6 medium eggs1 chunk cooked gammon or ham, …

Flourless Chocolate Cakes
My father in law has Coeliac Disease, and so cake was always a bit of a hit and miss affair, until ma in law made these little cakes. It’s such a versatile recipe. You can make small ones, one large sheet cake, or bake it in sandwich tins. I’ve used all kinds of chocolate and …
Financiers
I’ve had a hankering to make small, almondy cakes for a while now. I remembered reading that Chloe had made Friands, and they looked so fabulous, that I think they’ve been in my brain ever since, so when I happened across a recipe for Financiers, I had to make them. That’s a very good site, …
Tahini Cake
Yes, that’s right. Tahini cake. Tahini isn’t just for savoury things. It also makes the most delicious sweet things. After all, you can have sesame ice cream in Japan, and mochi rice sweets with a sesame filling, yes? Sesame is one of those things, like cinnamon, which is neither sweet nor savoury, despite the thought …
Turkish Breakfast Rolls – acma
I love bread. Almost all bread. But there is a special place in my heart for sweet, tender, yeasted doughs that yield to the knife with just the merest hint of resistance and accept the butter graciously.Turkish breakfast rolls are one such bread. I love them, I wanted to make them, and I found a …
