We’re always on the lookout for a vegetarian lasagne and this one worked well and tasted great. It’s rich so a salad on the side is all that’s needed. Make on the weekend when you’re in no hurry. Mushroom lasagne – to serve 8 MUSHROOMS: 35g dried porcini mushrooms 400ml lukewarm water 60g unsalted butter [...]

Mushroom Puff Pie
Posted in Food, Vegetarian, tagged Cooking, Food, Mushrooms, Pastry, Recipe, Vegetarian on 12 December 2011 | 3 Comments »
Fear not, for this is not a complicated pastry recipe. In fact it is an absolute doddle as it uses two ready-made puff pastry sheets which are exactly the right size. No rolling required! No-fuss puff-pastry mushroom pie – to feed 4 5 medium onions butter or oil 350g firm mushrooms a small handful of [...]
Spaghetti Tetrazzini

Another spaghetti dish but the full fat version this time – lot’s of double cream and cheese. This is a mysterious Italian dish from Jamie’s Italy which he claims is an old Italian recipe. We’ve looked in all of our Italian cookbooks and cannot find a reference to it anywhere. We even asked a real [...]
Cheat’s Funghi Trifolati
Posted in Food, Italian, Side dish, Vegetarian, tagged Cooking, Food, Italian, Mushrooms, Porcini, Recipe on 9 November 2011 | 2 Comments »
Because we’re not blessed by abundant fresh Porcini like the Italians we need to be a little inventive to capture the flavours and effect of a genuinely Italian recipe; this one delivers the goods in spades. If you find some fresh porcini grab them with both hands but otherwise try this mixture of wild mushrooms [...]

An Autumnal Fish Dish
Posted in Fish, Food, tagged Cooking, Fish, Food, Hake, Hazlenuts, Mushrooms, Recipe on 20 October 2011 | 3 Comments »
Hake is a really versatile white fish. It has a meaty texture that holds together when cooked and is also really good value as it’s not as popular as cod, haddock etc. It’s quite mild and so goes well with firm flavours like the mushrooms and sage below. Hake with mushrooms, hazlenuts and crispy sage [...]
Anna Del Conte’s Pasticcio di Penne con Formaggi e Funghi
Posted in Food, Italian, Pasta, Vegetarian, tagged Anna Del Conte, Cooking, Food, Italian, Mushrooms, Pasta, Recipe, Vegetarian on 17 October 2011 | 1 Comment »
We’ve been looking out for Anna Del Conte’s Gastronomy of Italy for some time now. This is a book in serious need of reprinting – a true Italian bible. The recipe’s are straightforward and authentic and there is an excellent section on the regions of Italy. We snapped this up when at last a second-hand [...]
Red Wine & Mushroom Risotto

Woohoo it’s mushroom season at last. Cold weather has its virtues. We always think of risotto as a bit of weekend thing but it’s so quick and easy we’ve vowed to make every night a potential risotto night in future. The perfect mid-week treat. Red wine & mushroom risotto – to serve 4 olive oil [...]
Something in a creamy sauce…

It is my Mum’s birthday today so when she came down to stay at the weekend I asked her what she would like us to cook. To this she replied “something in a creamy sauce” which sounded fairly straight forward until we went looking for a recipe. Have we all stopped eating meat in creamy [...]
Jono and Jules are back from Tuscany and are very hungry!

Quite a lot has happened since our last post. We moved house, then we got married, then we went to London, Paris and Italy. Lot’s of eating and drinking but no time for blog posts. When we got home we couldn’t work out if our new house had been robbed or if we had just [...]

This literally takes 20 minutes and you will probably have everything you need except the pork fillet and mushrooms. Cheap, tasty, healthy, and perfect for a Wednesday. We had some potatoes and cabbage in the cupboard which complimented nicely. 20-minute pork pan-fry – to serve 4 500g pork fillet, cut on the diagonal into finger-thick [...]

Posted in Australia, Food, Riesling, Vegetarian, Wine, tagged 30 Minute Meals, Cooking, Jamie Oliver, Mushrooms, Recipe, Risotto, Salad, Spinach, Vegetarian on 16 January 2011 | 7 Comments »
This was our first attempt at a Jamie 30 minute meal but we didn’t really try to do it in 30 minutes as we like to relax when we’re cooking. We didn’t bother with dessert either. The result was pretty good – very nice risotto and a fabulous salad which we’ll definitely do again with [...]
Asian-spiced fish with mushrooms
Posted in Fish, Food, Healthy, tagged Asian, Chilli, Coriander, Hake, Healthy, Main, Mushrooms, Soy sauce, White fish on 13 December 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Believe it or not … this is actually a delicate, white fish (hake) and not a badly burnt chop as the picture might imply. We blame a wonderfully rich and dark soy sauce (yum scrum) but if you use a lighter soy sauce like Kikkoman it may be more pleasing to the eye! We made [...]
