Delights Camera Action: Moreish Minestrone

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2009/11/souper-duper-veggie-soup.html

Monday, 9 November 2009. This November, I've somehow made a maxi version of minestrone by adding rice to the recipe I had in an old book of mine by Carla Capalbo, Italian: The best of Italy in 200 Traditional Recipes. Most minestrones have pasta added, but using brown round soup rice makes a heartier, more filling version. 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped. 1 onion, chopped. 1 leek, finely sliced. 2 carrots, diced. 2 potatoes, diced. 1 large courgette/zucchini, diced. 2 tsp dried thyme. A Piece of Paris.

Delights Camera Action: Laze-agne

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2009/11/laze-agne.html

Wednesday, 25 November 2009. What is it about lasagne that's so darn good! Personally, it's the fact that - when cooking for two - one dish means dinner's in the bag for a few nights to come. And everyone deserves the occasional evening in front of the TV with a ready-meal. 1x 250g box of g-free lasagne sheets (I used Casalare). 2 cloves of garlic chopped. 2 tins of chopped tomatoes. 2 tblsp g-free tomato paste. 1 small bag of frozen chopped spinach. 2 carrots peeled and sliced. A glug of good olive oil.

Delights Camera Action: Christmas past

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2010/01/christmas-past.html

Saturday, 9 January 2010. Gav and I took the Christmas tree down this weekend and I'm so sad that the holiday's over - and the family have flown back south - I could sit and eat a dozen mince pies (if I had any left! Washed down with a cup of tea or two. I know these recipes are a bit late (okay about 16 days late! Are trade secrets, but I will share my mince pies and date snowballs. I'll be bringing them out again next Christmas. 189; cup finely chopped dates. 1 tsp g-free cocoa powder. 190; tsp Brandy.

Delights Camera Action: Delight of the week... Sleeping bags

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2011/06/delight-of-week-sleeping-bags.html

Thursday, 9 June 2011. Delight of the week. Sleeping bags. Our little lady's nocturnal habits involve wriggling her way around the cot in her sleep and occasionally crying out in frustration - while still asleep, might I add - when she finds herself stuck in a corner. The perfect baby gift, my favourites are by Aden and Anais. Leah is pictured in this one) and The Gro Company. Posted by Colwyn Leigh Murphy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Delights Camera Action: Meatballs of fire

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2009/10/meatballs-of-fire.html

Saturday, 24 October 2009. Herbs have finally taken off in my vegetable patch, and the fact that it's taken eight months for any real life to show in this desert garden is cause for celebration. Why did I bother attempting a veggie patch at all? I had one as a child and food was always more exciting - and tastier - when I picked it myself. I have so much basil right now, I'm giving it away, and pasta is the order of the day. Today's special. Spaghetti and Meatballs Arabiatta. 500g lean beef mince. The ch...

Delights Camera Action: Bread Ahead

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2009/12/bread-ahead.html

Tuesday, 8 December 2009. We've had a bit of a breakthrough in the bread section, thanks to desperation brought on by a toast and jam craving. I like to think that my grandfather, Basil, had a bit of a hand in it. He used to bake his own bread and I still remember pounding dough with him in our kitchen back home as he taught me the secrets of his Nutty-Wheat Bread. The 'Nutty-Wheat' part might be out, but the rest of his recipe has made its way into my first successful gluten-free loaf. 1 tsp baking soda.

Delights Camera Action: Asian Chicken Wraps

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2010/01/asian-chicken-wraps.html

Saturday, 16 January 2010. I like fast food. Not fast food in the double-whopper-super-sauced-stuffed-crust-I'll-have-that-with-cheesy-fries-thanks sense, but food that's fast. Simple Asian stir-fries are brilliant in that sense. and healthy. My Dubai housemate Andrea introduced me to these nifty wraps a few years ago, and, they're now a fave g-free light dinner. The ingredients always change slightly depending on what's in the cupboard, so they're never boring. 1 red chilli chopped. 1 spring onion sliced.

Delights Camera Action: First things first

http://delightscameraaction.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-things-first-so-how-did-i-end-up.html

Wednesday, 14 October 2009. So, how did I end up here. With my desk a pile of papers and photos, and gluten-free flour and muffin mixture in my hair? My life’s a little less organised than I would normally have it, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as I’m discovering. A writer and sub-editor by profession, I spent the last eight years finding my niche in the world of journalism. Three years with South Africa’s Garden and Home. So, in between setting up house in our new location of Muscat, Oman, wor...
