• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

    Growing Garlic

    I've got a blog post on the National Garden Association site on my first go at planting garlic. That link is here. I plant my garlic, in a bed, on Halloween for a harvest in midsummer. I was queried about growing in pots and that's not difficult. You'll need at least 8" of soil in the pot and...

    Recipe White witch dressing (v.1)

    It looks so pure and innocent but has such a mischievous side! I've been working on the concept of this dressing for a while. Here is version 1. Its essential to let this dressing rest for at least a couple of hours (or overnight) so that the raw ingredients calm down a little and get to know...

    Recipe Maple and lemon roasted yellow courgette, aubergine and olives with sumac

    Sweet and sour flavours work very well with courgette and aubergine, both of which are rather mild tasting. I added some radishes for a little texture and colour. The final result should produce a little ‘sauce’ under the vegetables and the whole garlic cloves should be just ready to 'squidge'...

    Recipe Courgette and garlic ‘baba ganoush’

    In the past, I’ve made several versions of courgette ‘baba ganoush’ and each time added various spices. But here I used only two additional flavours: roasted garlic and toasted sesame oil. I much prefer this version because it has such a lovely smoky flavour. Its very low in calories too, should...

    Recipe Mussels with courgettes, garlic & white wine

    Ribbons of courgette with mussels create a pretty presentation and are very easy to do. Use a ‘Y’ shaped vegetable peeler along the length of the courgettes (or you can use a mandolin) to create the ribbons. I’ve seen these ribbons being called ‘paparadelle’ in some recipes but frankly, they are...

    Recipe Greek Rack of Lamb

    I wanted to recreate the flavors of the baby goat I had on my first night in Athens in 2019. I couldn’t get goat at my local butcher, but I knew the flavors would work well on rack of lamb. I love the results here, but I know I can’t afford to do this very often. Still, I can see doing this...

    Is there such a thing as 'too much garlic'?

    OK admit it: if a recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, how much do you actually put in? For me, it's always more than is called for and in this instance it might be up to 8 lol... And has there ever been a time when you thought 'I've put in too much garlic!'. (I have not). Also, does garlic...

    Recipe Garlic and mushroom lover's lamb shanks Marsala

    My husband is an absolute fan of lamb dishes, especially lamb chops. Over the past several years, I have become fond of lamb as well and have prepared lamb chops at home several times.

    Recipe Shoulder of lamb with garlic

    Barely a recipe really - two ingredients and a bit of preparation time. A shoulder of lamb is good value in the UK. It will feed 4 to 6 people, depending on size. For two people, a half shoulder is about right. Don't stint on the garlic. Similar recipes add little sprigs of rosemary and/or...

    Recipe Lobster Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino

    Thought I'd take a departure from Asian dishes and throw out this one. That doesn't mean this isn't chilified to the max though! It uses very hot Birds Eye chillies plus dried chili flakes. What's special about this method (since Aglio e Olio is usually a simple throw-together dish) is that...
