Leek and chickpea soup

June 8, 2011 | Filed under: Entrees, Meals for the Freezer, Quick and Easy Recipes, Recipes, Soups, Vegie recipes, winter warmers

It’s so freezing outside that I thought I should share with you a soup recipe that has become one of my all-time favourites. I adore leeks and seeing as they are in season, now is an ideal time to whip this up. I really didn’t like the idea of chickpeas in soup at first – but although it only has a few ingredients, the flavour is amazing. I originally saw this made on a Jamie Oliver cooking show way back when. I’ve made it my own and no longer need the recipe to guide me. Everyone I have served it to has been impressed :)

Leek and Chickpea Soup

2 tablespoons of butter
4 leeks
3 desiree potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
2 cans of chickpeas, drained and well rinsed
1.5 – 2 litres of chicken stock

Mystery solved!! Why kids (and adults) won’t eat vegies

May 9, 2011 | Filed under: Quick and Easy Recipes, Recipes, Side dishes, winter warmers

When I was consulting my expert about what vegetables are in season for this blog post, I dreaded to mention the one at the top of the list. This poor little guy has such bad PR, I thought all my readers would be driven away – perhaps forever! But, if everyone …

Think mashed potato is boring? Done the right way, it’s anything but! I know a lot of people who grew up with sloppy, lumpy horrible mash served with so many meals that it became the most undersirable thing on the plate. Usually it was served this way because it was quick, easy …

Day 12 – Brew your own stock

November 12, 2010 | Filed under: 30 recipes in 30 days, Cooking Tips and Techniques, stock, winter warmers

Day 12 of the Inspiration Challenge has arrived and today I’m going to say that everyone should be making their own stock. However, I do wholeheartedly admit that I sometimes use stock that comes in a carton and I even sometimes use stock powder. If you told a chef about …

August 17, 2010 | Filed under: Curries, Recipes, Vegie recipes

Hello again! I know it’s been a while between posts – so I thought I’d return to the blogging world with something a little out of left field – well, it’s not all that unusual – it’s just that I admit I am a little scared of any dinner dish …
