Every couple has it’s story; the telling of which makes them look somewhat coyly at each other and smile knowingly and that raise, once again, all those fluttery, buttery feelings of l’amour. The dashing Mr P and I met in a gorgeous little restaurant serving fabulous little meals, and if that wasn’t an omen for [...]

Warming up with Teff Pancakes
Posted in Uncategorized on November 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Right. Everybody ready? Have your woolens unpacked, your summer window-screens packed up and your fireplace cleaned out? It’s Autumn here at Lick Your Own Bowl, officially as of today. Weather ignored, I’ve been obstinate here on the blog in getting the Summer over and done with before moving on to meatier things. And to start [...]
Apricot and almond pie
Posted in Apricot, almond, baked goods, cardamom, dessert, fruit, marzipan, pastry, pie, summer on November 24, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I got a little crazy in the baking department this weekend. There was a baby shower for a good friend of mine planned (god bless her precious little socks) and I got myself up to my elbows in cake for the occasion. I thought, momentarily, about making the ever-appreciated chocolate cake, a safe bet for [...]

A nice big fish is something I will eternally associate with Summer chez moi. I have brilliant, sparkly memories as a child of going on summer holiday to the ocean and over dosing on good sea food. South Africa has, if you ask me, some of the best sea food in the world and I [...]
Cherry Chocolate pie

Oh, don’t shoot me. Another recipe I diligently wrote down while making and have since misplaced somewhere in the maelstrom of my kitchen notes over the last few months. Listen, people, do as I say and not as I do. If you’re going to be making up recipes and fabricate wonderful new concoctions in the [...]
Strawberry Pistachio Tarts

On a balmy, sensual, early summer night in the season now past the dashing Mr P and I were invited to a dinner, eaten out doors in the charming garden on a very good friend. She asked for a dessert for 6 and, it being the season of all things fresh and lovely, what better [...]
A Forgotten Lemon Pudding
Posted in Uncategorized on November 13, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I still have a few recipes in my archives from the Summer months to share with you, and, remembering how much the diligent Mr P and I enjoyed this, would love to tell you all about this little lemon pudding. But, the chaos that has been my life these last months, I’ve managed to misplace [...]
Summery Cottage Pie

Ye olde cottage pie is a favourite in our household. It’s one of the ever culinary Mr P’s signature dishes and as such I usually don’t go near the making of them myself. I wouldn’t dare. He has been know to whip up a cottage pie, impromptu, on a chilly autumn evening that makes the [...]
Baked Peaches with Merigue and Peach Custard
Posted in baked goods, balsamic, custard, dessert, fruit, peach, summer on November 6, 2008 | 3 Comments »
No, you are not imagining things and I have neither moved to the Southern Hemisphere, where peaches are undoubtedly about to come into a gorgeous new season, nor have I lost my love for all things seasonal. This is merely another of my catch up posts for the recipe’s I never got around to posting [...]
Red, Yellow and Green Pasta of Summer

As our temperatures here in Toronto start to dip and dive again in the face of Autumn I keep thinking about all the gorgeous food I cooked up over the Summer and never got around to sharing with you. So, over the next little while, you’ll have to bear with me as I turn an [...]
