My Recipes, Food and Garden

Here I share with you some of my favourite home-style recipes. These are the tried-and-true recipes that provide our family meals. Some of these recipes were developed at a time when I worked as a community Dietitian-nutritionist. I may offer some nutritional advice along with the recipe instructions.

I may also slip in an occasional story about my garden!

Cape gooseberry tart is an easy recipe to prepare at the end of autumn. This fruity, tangy tart is best served with freshly-made custard.

A comforting slow-cooked curry and rice is just the thing for your hungry family as the weather turns chilly. This is my brinjal curry recipe. It is reminiscent of my visit to Nepal many years ago.
