Chocolate Orange spiral cookies
There’s something magical about the scent of chocolate and orange drifting through a kitchen…it always takes me straight back to my grandmothers cosy kitchen, where she’d say “good baking start with good memories”, and this recipe does exactly this in my humble opinion. These pretty spirals are soft, buttery, and full of the rich cocoa […]
Zanahoria Aliñá (Marinated Carrots)
Simple, Delicious, and Soaked in Memories. This was one of my grandmother Lely’s summer favourites. She’d make them especially for my grandad. They’d sit outside in their patio on warm Saturday evenings sharing a few nibbles, these marinated carrots, some olives, and a bowl of crisps. It was their time to unwind, talk, and laugh. […]
Retro Fudge Traybake
A soft, chocolatey hug from the past—with a modern twist! This old-fashioned traybake is based on a vintage Chocolate Sheath Cake recipe I found tucked away in an old cookbook (Inspired by Betty Stanfield’s Chocolate Sheath Cake ). I’ve given it a little update for modern kitchens and let me tell you, it’s absolute fudgy […]
Bakewell tart
Bakewell Tart is renowned for its delicate balance of textures and flavours. At its heart lies a crisp and buttery shortcrust pastry base, providing the perfect foundation for the layers to come. The tart is then generously filled with a layer of raspberry jam, adding a sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the […]
Almond cake
This gluten-free almond cake is another recipe passed down from my beloved grandmother. Made with wholesome ingredients and packed with nutty flavors, this soft and moist cake is sure to brighten up any occasion. Perfect for those who are gluten intolerant or simply looking for a scrumptious dessert option, this cake is a must-try!
Tuna stewed rice
This recipe is the ever popular “go to” when you don’t know what to make, and there are only staple ingredients in the cupboards as you haven’t had time to go food shopping. It’s an easy recipe to follow, and if you bake the rice as opposed to stewing it on the hob, it becomes foolproof. […]
Poached pears in syrup
This was a staple dessert growing up. Soft poached pears stewed in syrup, served with cream or ice cream. If you know me by now you know that I have lots of memories of food by the beach, and we loved this dessert at any time of the day, especially as a treat for afternoon […]
Pancakes
Who doesn’t love a pancake breakfast? I find its one of the most versatile recipes you can have in your collection.
Moroccan Orange Almond Cake
There has always been a close link between Gibraltar and Morocco. We are a very close community and harmoniously live with other nationalities, irrespective of religious creeds or traditions. Obviously Gibraltarian cuisine is strongly influenced by all these other traditional dishes which have found their way into our homes. This recipe was given to me by […]
Albondigon -Meat loaf
This is another typical Gibraltarian dish, and like every other recipe posted here, each household has it’s own version of how to make it. My grandmothers recipe’s meat loaf is more of a couple of giant meatballs, which are then boiled in soup and either served hot as it is, or reheated the next day on its […]
