Chicken Pepitoria
This recipe is one of the first dishes in my grandmother’s notebook. I remember eating this very often as it was one of my grandfather’s favourites. The nice thing about this dish, is that you get to soak up the remaining sauce with your bread after all the food has been consumed, which in my […]
Beer Bread
This is one of the easiest bread recipes that I have ever made, and I have to admit was very surprised to see this in my Grandmother’s recipe book. I have no idea where she could have picked this one up from, as it simply states Beer bread, and has no mention of whomsoever gave […]
Hot Cross Buns
This is a yearly staple in our house. Come Easter I make these regularly, my family love them with either sultanas, currants, raisins, plain or (this one was new last year) chocolate chips…..yum. This recipe is a compilation of various recipes either from the internet or old cooking books. I love playing around with recipes, mixing […]
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 […]
Pizza
I’ve been using this Pizza recipe for quite some years now, although I honestly can’t remember where I got it from. It might have even been from my school days! Who knows? Its a super simple bread dough recipe which you can top however you like. The one rule here is to keep your toppings simple […]
Meatballs
There are numerous recipes for meatballs, and numerous ways in which to cook them. This particular one is my family’s favourite, the one handed over generation through generation from Grandmother to mother to daughter. This recipe produces a soft juicy meatball cooked in a light onion gravy. I usually make enough sauce to be able […]
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 […]
Quick and Easy Apple Cake
I’m not too sure if this recipe was taken from my Grandmother’s cooking books, as the only version I have is in my handwriting. It could have been that I copied it out of her notebooks are some of them are really old and the writing is fading rapidly, but it could also have been […]
Quiche filling recipe
I usually use this with my four ingredient quiche pastry uploaded one or two posts ago. There really is no rule to the kind of filling you add to your base, as long as it is not a wet concoction. The wet ingredients should always be the milk/cream or a mix of both and the eggs […]
Croquettes – with a potato base
This is my go to croquette recipe for any type of leftovers meats I might have, although I have to say I prefer using Chicken, Turkey and Tuna for these rather than meat, but this is my personal preference and I have family members who regularly make this with left over roasts etc. This might […]
