Introduction to the site

April 10, 2009 | Comments Off

The site presents my approach to providing meals for my family including ideas for individual meals. My approach to providing home cooked, appetising, family meals. Ideas for main meals, puddings, desserts, cakes, baking recipes. The food is easy to make and my family enjoy eating it. I like to buy fresh fruit and vegetables from the green grocers and fresh meat from the butchers to make tastier meals. The equipment I use is quite basic as I like to get my hands into things! Below is a gallery of images from selected recipes:

	Raisin and Bran Muffins
These muffins are a healthy treat with wheat bran and raisins. There is also a banana filling option that we like. The quantities below make 12 muffins.

Victoria Sandwich
	A light fluffy cake with jam filling. Add whisked cream to the filling for that extra special treat.

	Fish Pie
This is my simple fish pie with coley or cod I used up some left over vegetables (peas, carrots and broccoli). Instead of leftovers you can add some frozen vegetables of your choice.

Rhubarb Crumble served with Custard
	This fruit crumble is a nice and simple family dessert. Served hot or cold with hot custard or cream to round off a family meal.

	Jacket Potatoes
Sometimes we have something quick and easy. That is what I am doing today. There are four of us for an evening meal today and I am doing jacket potatoes in the oven. This provides for some flxibility as everyone can have a favourite topping.

Granary Bread:
	This bread is relatively easy to make and has a lovely traditional granary consistency when cooked. I make two loaves and put one in the freezer for later. Halve the ingredients to make one loaf.

	TheRecipeCorner Risotto
This is my version of a simple baked rice dish using good quality English Bacon and Cheddar Cheese. I do prefer to fry with olive oil as a healthy option. The dish should take no longer that 4 or 5 minutes from start to finish and provide a hot healthy meal on its own or can be served accompanied by vegetables (peas, sweetcorn, broccoli) or meat (sausages) for those with a larger appetite.
