Chicken Liver Pate
I love Pate. It’s so easy to prepare, and once you try this recipe I can assure you, you won’t go back to the store bought version. A couple of minutes of prep, and then you sail along preparing this dish. This recipe is old and although I can never remember my Grandmother making this, […]
CHICKEN PESTO IN A CREAM SAUCE
Pesto is such an easy and versatile sauce to have in your culinary collection. Simply blitz Basil, Pine nuts, Garlic, Parmesan and oil in a food processor, add a little lemon juice, adjust seasoning and voila! you have the basis for many a great dish. Add it to some pasta, spoon it over some grilling […]
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Cosy warm and Nutritious Butternut Squash Soup. Perfect for the chilly Autumnal nights (or days!).
Chicken in Garlic Sauce – Pollo al Ajillo
This Chicken dish, is probably a staple in every Gibraltarian household. However, as with so many other recipes, we tend to add and adapt ingredients to suit our own personal tastes. What can I say! this is the way we do things in Gibraltar. As is the common theme with the majority of these recipes […]
Yoghurt and Honey Panna Cotta

Minestrone Soup
My grandmother’s take on the classic vegetable and bean soup
Corn flour Cake
Who would have known that my grandmother had a gluten free cake in her recipes? I remember sitting on the beach sipping tea and having slices of this cake whilst surrounded by my family, or at least my brother and cousins, whilst the setting sun cast a shadow over our little piece of beach heaven. […]
Apple Crumble
I think its fair to say that every household in Gibraltar has a recipe for Apple crumble or some sort of other fruit crumble. It must have been one of the easiest desserts to make, plus because seasonal fruit was used, it would have been a very economic recipe to help stretch the weekly wages […]
Meringue Pudding
There are a lot of recipes in my Grandmother’s books which use egg yolks, “tocino de cielo” which is a rich egg yolk flan, “Yemitas” which are like truffles only made with egg yolks and sugar, these were traditionally made around Christmas time at least back then, as they called for more “expensive” ingredients. It […]
Pirinaca – Summer Salad
This was my Grandfather’s favourite summer salad. He absolutely had this nearly every day. I remember he would sit and prep the vegetables in my Grandmother’s kitchen whilst my grandmother would be busy with other chores, and every now and then he would eat some of the salad and get told off by my grandmother, […]
