I have just been reading the funniest thing I have ever read about ironing and how some people are totally obsessed with it. The story precedes a great  braised veal with garlic recipe, shown in the picture on the left. Katies food photos make you want to dive right in and cook.
Now what does ironing have […]

I have never been a huge fan of vegetables. As a child I would only eat potatoes and peas and maybe carrots but only if they were raw. These days I am happy to eat anything but I prefer it to have a bit of flavor. That is why I really love this recipe using […]

Many years ago when I was a Tupperware dealer,  products that I love and cherish, I would give cooking demonstrations so that my ladies would know just how to use their Tupperware products.

I love the taste of sage in this and garlic always goes well with shrimp.
I really would like to try […]

One thing I do love about winter time is that it gives me the opportunity to make wholesome soups and stews. There is nothing quite like the taste of Pea and Ham soup with chunks of ham to give it some body or even chicken and corn soup or our favourite home made vegetable soup.
None […]

Tonight the cook in the house made Chicken and Corn Crepes. I have to say that this was well worth making. The mix of corn, chicken and white sauce in a soft fluffy crepe was just delicious.
This recipe came from The Good Taste Collection and is one of the simplest recipes in the book. Preparation […]
