balsamic vinegar

I came across this recipe for a tofu, balsamic glaze, strawberries and pasta and just had to try it. It was delicious though we did need to make a few changes to the salad. My first was to use a spelt pasta that has a fantastic taste and texture. The second was to added onion powder to the...

This dish is easy to assemble and cooks in 35 minutes. For me, the use of dry sherry is essential here - it adds a subtle ‘nutty’ dimension and depth of flavour. The result is deliciously sweet, savoury and addictive. You need to serve this with potatoes to soak up the the ‘gravy’. The...

In my opinion it's more self aggrandizing kitchen design than cooking. I have a big drawer for my herbs and spices. Oooh darling you use saffron.

This is a simple enough recipe which produces a very tasty result. The balsamic adds a lovely sweet tang to the chicken. In fact it surprised me how effective such a short marinating time can be. The recipe states cooking on a grill for 1-2 minutes either side or until cooked through. I used a...

I figure it is about time to post some of my own recipes. I am so NOT a sweet tooth, so I minimize the amounts of sugars I add to mains. Instead of brown sugar, I prefer the punch that maple syrup adds - besides I live in Maple Syrup country, and plan to tap a few trees next year. But there...

Burrata is a new kid on the block here in the UK and aside from specialist markets in London, the only place I can get it is from Ocado (on-line supermarket). So what is it? Its a fresh Italian cheese (burrata means 'buttered' in Italian). It looks a bit like mozzarella but when you cut into it...
