Lemonade Scones
Perfect scones recipe, ideal for afternoon teas (at the beach).
Quick no rise bread
I love baking bread. It’s one of the things I find most comfort in. The rhythmic kneading of the dough, the delight of smelling baking bread, and the pleasure of eating warm bread lathered in butter, hmmm, there are very little things that can replace the comfort of homemade food. This recipe – as are […]
Chicken in a creamy spinach sauce
Although Chicken and Spinach were a staple in my grandmother’s kitchen, I can’t honestly say that this recipe is based on one of hers. More so, I think this dish came about in an “what do I have in my fridge to cook” scenario, and has since evolved into the yummy goodness it is today. […]
Lely’s Easter Biscuits
I think that one of the things we most like as kids is eating biscuits and dunking them in milk. I remember eating biscuits nearly every day, more so in the summer months when we habitually had tea on the beach. Nothing beats the taste of tea at the beach , actually there really is […]
Chicken Liver Pate

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
This is a new addition to my recipe collection, and is not at all based on any recipe my Grandmother made. At least I can’t remember her making this ever, and I’ve not found ingredients for this in her notebooks. What I love the most about this recipe is the simplicity of elaboration. Mostly no […]
Minestrone Soup
My grandmother’s take on the classic vegetable and bean soup
