This is a fast and easy to make Chowder – I made it because it was a little cold this evening, and I fancied something a little different. This is the best vegetable-based chowder ever, and will be a staple amongst those wishing to serve something very flavourful and comforting – ideal towards the end of the winter – to mark the end of it, and the beginning of the new season ahead.  My last [...]

I am proud, well proud of this stew.  It melts in your mouth, but not without cheering your taste buds first.  This stew is in part inspired by the many different stews I have made over the years – the result is astounding in terms of taste and texture.  As for the aroma, well that’s in a league of its own.  The combination of vegetables chosen are all-time favourites for many people worldwide (feel free [...]

This three green soup is sublime – truly.  Packed with nutrients, it’s going to be a regular in this household.  I mean, what could be better when one not only eats for pleasure, but also enjoys health benefits at the same time.  A twist of lime (now almost one of my trademarks) puts this soup in a league of its own.  Make it, taste it, share it, and most of all, enjoy it !

This soup is simply delicious and so simple to make – and the rewards lie in the taste.  My young daughter loved it, and she is a fussy eater, I have to say.  The combination of ingredients result in a very satisfying taste and texture – one of those ‘must repeat’ soups.  Gentle, yet full of flavour.  Enjoy with some crunchy brown bread.  Nutritious and delicious in a bowl. Serves 3 to 4 as a [...]
