Lamb chops anyone?

by Cellobella on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 · 0 comments

So I tried the sticky lamb chops from Kathryn’s website. They were very tasty and the honey foamed satisfyingly in the pan. I think for me and Dippity they were a little sweet and I’d probably halve the honey next time. The boys loved them. Oh yeah. And I forgot to add the spring onions.

Sigh. Why is it that birthdays are less exciting the older you get? Groover was sweet.  He knew I wanted to take choc chip cookies to work rather than a cake and so he made some for me. Unfortunately they didn’t work out so well – dud recipe with no baking powder. But I love [...]

Teaching the boy to cook

Isn’t bolognese the easiest thing to cook? It’s my go to dish when I really can’t be bothered. The kids will eat it – it doesn’t take long or too many ingredients. Well the other night my son walked past me as I was chopping up the onion and I thought – hey – he [...]

by Cellobella on Friday, July 18, 2008

I am well behind the rest of the world on this one. The NY Times unveiled the No Knead Bread recipe on the 8th November 2006 and I have only today found time to make it. Well yesterday and today. The trick is allowing the dough time to rise – 18 hours – and I [...]
