This recipe was given to me by my beautiful mother. It’ so quick and you really don’t need many ingredients which is what I love about it. Also, if you don’t have cream, you can always use mayonnaise. In fact a lot of people use mayonnaise instead of cream when making a Chutney Chicken dish…

Portugese Custard Tarts
Portugese Custard Tarts are one of those delectable pastry treats that always capture my attention at a coffee shop. A Vide e Caffé cappuccino is just not the same without a Portugese Custard Tart! I mean really!! I even see that Woolies Bakeries are now offering them. Mmmm. Well, now you can make your own…
Jam Biscuits
This is such a great recipe to make with kids or even toddlers. My 3 year old had so much fun rolling the mixture, punching holes, scooping jam and eating as he went. A lot of mess but lots of fun! The recipe had a lot of off-cuts so there was a lot of batter…
Curried Chicken Salad
I made this salad for my husband the other day for lunch. At first he turned his nose up at the thought of a salad with raisins and celery, well actually it was more like a “eeeuw” expression. Well, once he tasted it, he wolfed it down! And so did I! The combination of spicy…
Condensed Milk Tart
I tasted this at our dinner club the other night and my oh my it was a conversation-silencer…until we all interjected with questions of how it was made! “Is that it, just yoghurt, condensed milk and a biscuit base? Seriously?” was the prominent question. Said with an incredulous expression of course. So yes, it really…
Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad

Chicken and Sausage Paella
Never in a million years would I ever think to put sausage with chicken and make a paella. I always thought “Paella” was a seafood dish. In fact it is really a rice dish with seafood or chicken/meat or a mixture of both. Anyway, if you read my last post (strawberry and banana custard) you’ll…
Strawberry and Banana Custard
Okay before you read the recipe, read this: Don’t be put off by the number of eggs. I’m not a huge fan of eggs but in this dessert you cannot even taste the eggs (well that’s what I thought anyway and usually I can always taste the eggs!). One of the best desserts I have…
Chicken and Corn Soup
I absolutely cannot believe that I have not shared this AMAZING recipe with you yet. I usually make this on cold days, when the soul needs a bit of love and warmth. It goes down so well! It really is the BEST chicken soup recipe I have ever tasted. And it’s quick and easy too,…
Nutella Banana Bread
Take Nutella and Banana Bread Batter, mix them together and voila! You get heaven in a loaf. When I made this, my kids and hubby polished it off within 48 hours. Actually, no, it was less than that! And then my hubby insisted I not make it again, for it was far too wickedly delicious….
