Seafood risotto has always been a personal favourite of mine. Add chorizo and I’m drooling. I went through several recipes and this is the end result! I am yet to find real risotto rice and fish stock so this was made with Calrose rice and vegetable stock and it nevertheless came out absolutely perfect. 350-400 g (12-14 oz) risotto rice – Arborio, Carnaroli, Vialone Nano… … Continue reading Food: Seafood & Chorizo Risotto Recipe
Right, so I know not everyone thinks oatmeal cookies constitute the most exciting snack, but that’s because they’ve never tried these (oh yes I did). I cannot remember how I found this recipe; I wrote it down ages ago and finally got to testing it out, and it beats any other I’ve tried before. It is a must. These are crispy on the edges but … Continue reading Best Oatmeal Cookies With Raisins, Nuts and Chocolate Chips Recipe
As the title may have already hinted, this recipe will give you a flat, but incredibly sticky and chewy cookie. You can find similar recipes on countless blogs and websites, but I usually find them too sweet so I’ve changed a few things. Personally, they give me a mouthgasm; not saying I’m not partial to other cookies, but chewy ones really make my heart tick. … Continue reading Le Sticky and Chewy Flat Cookie
Now I know most people will say the same about their own recipe, but these are truly the best brownies I have ever eaten in my life. Yes, the recipe is my mother’s. No my opinion is not biased at all. They are everything you could want in a brownie: the top bit is slightly hard and crunchy, and the inside just melts in your … Continue reading Mum’s Chocolate Brownies
This is my favourite chocolate cookie recipe. My friends and family who used to rejoice and welcome these sweet treats have now turned on me for supposedly being responsible for their newly found love handles. But really, it’s not my fault that these are so yum and destroy any ounce of self-control you may have. They’re not crunchy cookies, in fact they are strangely cake-like (think hard brownies). … Continue reading Chocolate Cookies Recipe
These cookies are so tasty I just had to post the recipe. Like the other chocolate cookie recipe, these are also brownie-ish but they’re less moist. Again, these aren’t crunchy, unless you over cook them. So don’t over cook them. Don’t worry though, I vow to find an amazing crunchy ‘chocolate cookies’ recipe as soon as possible. You will need the following ingredients to make these fitties: … Continue reading Chocolate Cookies Recipe II
This tart will serve 8 people and as you may or may not know, is a famous French specialty (so that if you’re not French or you’re not living in France, people will think you’re a master chef or something amazing of the sort). It’s mostly famous coz it’s omnomnom delicious but also because well, it’s an upside-down tart; the concept is crazy yet … Continue reading The Tarte Tatin (Pardon my French) or Upside-Down Apple Tart
As you may have gathered from the title, this recipe will give you a thick, soft and chewy cookie. It is EXTREMELY similar to the sticky chewy cookie; the recipes differ very little apart from the amount of flour and sugar involved, as well as the way the dough balls are put together (you’ll see what I mean later). Again, ‘toppings’ are up to you, whether … Continue reading Le Soft and Chewy Thick Cookie
