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 […]

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 […]
Chicken in beer and orange sauce
This is one of my favourite chicken recipes. Easy to make and so so tasty. Unless you really like the taste of beer, use a blonde or light beer so that there is no bitter aftertaste.

Orange flavoured mini doughnuts – Rosquillas de Naranjas
These delightful little morsels graced our afternoon tea table on numerous occasions. They are the perfect size to be eaten in two bites (sometimes even one), can be packed and carried rather easily as they are quite hardy, and taste great. These doughnuts – as opposed to a lot of other recipes – are baked and therefore produce […]

I have a recipe for the traditional version, but this version is a baked twist on the traditional stove top dessert. I find that when you have lots of things to […]

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 […]
