Chicken Noodle Soup
When the weather outside is frightful, and the fire is so delightful, since there’s no place to go let me cook let me cook let me cook! I love spending wet, windy weekends in the kitchen. There’s something beautiful about preparing delicious, healthy meals for my family during a weekend of being stuck indoors. This […]
Minestrone
What better lunch on a cold Autumn day than a nutritious minestrone? I like to make a big pot of soup on the weekend so we can have soups for lunch throughout the week. A hot bowl of soup warms your bones when the weather is bleak outside. This is my basic minestrone recipe, but […]
Fish Molee
Fish Molee I used 3 large Ling fillets to make this succulent fish curry. I really like fish curry.

This meal will take, maybe, 20 minutes to cook. […]

One enormous zucchini was put to good use in some relish. It was such an easy thing to cook in the slowcooker.

As I write, rain is pouring, thunder is clapping and lightening is flashing at Fangorn! I imagine that our garden is really soaking up the water. The highlight of my day was watching my son make damper. He found the recipe in his new cookbook. He got out and measured the ingredients – I only […]
Fangorn garden salad

This salad is different because it has a real ‘bite!’ it’s quite tangy/spicey. Fangorn Garden Salad Cos lettuce Butter lettuce Mizuna Vietnamese mint […]
