This weeks book is Gizzi’s Kitchen Magic. From the show ‘Cook Your Thin’. This book is packed with simple, quick but incredibly tasty food! One of the best books I have cooked from this year – so good I went to town on as many recipes as I could!!
Recipe 9 & 10 – Root Veg Rosti & Scrambled Eggs
Amazing scrambled eggs! I don’t think I have ever had a recipe before and this was perfection!! Rosti was nice and felt like we were getting some of our daily veg!!!
Recipe 8 – Pineapple and Lime Cake
Super nice easy batter to whip up and the cake took a while to cook through but it was great when it did!
Frosting was a flop but it made a lovely cream topping!!
Recipe 7 – Aubergine, artichoke and lamb bolognese
Forgot the artichoke and the lamb was a bit fatty but a really good bolognese sauce! Yum!!
Recipe 6 – Smoked Haddock Fish Cakes with Poached Egg
WOW These were so good we have made extra for breakie the next day… but we snaffled then Nigella Style for lunch in a sandwich!! I bought a while smoked trout from the market which made life a little easier – just had to try and get the meat without the bones!
Recipe 5 – Boiled Egg with vegemite soldiers
Obviously there was a reference to Marmite here but we are Vegemite converts now! REALLY like this!! Love a good runny egg!
Recipe 3 and 4 – Slightly better for you Southern Fried Chicken with Purple Coleslaw
Purple Coleslaw – brilliant! Healthy and really tasty! Our Fake KFC was an absolute winner! Hubby was in love with me all over again!!
Tenderising chicken in buttermilk totally works!!
Recipe 2 – Mussels with cider and cream
AMAZING!! Soooo good! Very, very happy that night!
Recipe 1 – Five Spice Salted Chill Squid
