Cock-A-Leekie Soup

Posted by RonaNZ  

Soup just like my mum makes. This is a traditional Scottish soup that makes full use of leftovers, or can be cooked from fresh ingredients. I prefer it made with roast chicken leftovers. Apparently the original recipe dating back to the 1600s... MORE»

Bread Poultice

(1 reviews) Posted by RonaNZ  

A bread poultice is a nice easy way to get thorns or glass out of a child's foot. Much better than fighting a screaming child with a needle. I never let anyone near me with a needle when I was a kid! Works best when you use Daddy's handkerchief,... MORE»

Wee Men

(5 reviews) Posted by RonaNZ  

This is a great cooking project you can make with small children. I can’t remember if there was a reason for the name but part of the charm is that it doesn’t make sense! My kids are all grown up now but we can’t resist making Wee Men if we are... MORE»

Wilted Spinach Salad With Roasted Kumara (Sweet Potato)

(3 reviews) Posted by RonaNZ  

My daughter made me this salad once. She said that it was from the Meal-in-a-minute TV advert but this version doesn't use any Watties products. (Not that there is anything wrong with bottled sauces but I prefer to make my own dressing) This is a... MORE»

Chicken and Bok Choy Soup

(6 reviews) Posted by RonaNZ  

I make this with Shanghai Bok Choy, a smaller Bok Choy than the regular one with light green ribs rather than the white ribs. If you have Bok Choy in a Chinese restaurant, they tend to slice it lengthways and cook the whole thing at once. I... MORE»

Loquat Chutney

(4 reviews) Posted by RonaNZ  

I discovered that the tree bearing fruit in my garden is a loquat tree. It’s under an oak tree so I imagine that it wasn’t planted there deliberately but was the result of seed transfer by a bird. I decided to make chutney from my unexpected... MORE»

St Vincent Rum Punch

(2 reviews) Posted by RonaNZ  

This is a classic rum punch recipe that follows the 1 of sour, 2 of sweet, 3 of strong and 4 of weak formula. The way it is served makes it uniquely St Vincent, or maybe it's just that my parents had a fridge that made crushed ice! For whatever... MORE»
