risotto ai frutti di mare

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 08:50:14 +0000

It’s to die for. Honestly the best seafood risotto I have ever eaten!

I made slight changes to the JamieO recipe, but it’s generally the same. My ingredients were; mussels, gurnard, shrimp, celery, spring onion, onion and mushrooms. I also used dill instead of fennel, and white wine instead of vermouth.

Original recipe by JamieO.

slightly fancy bangers & mash

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 09:00:12 +0000

Absolutely perfect for a Sunday night meal.

Crumbed sausages with an onion and rosemary infused gravy, mashed potatoes* with a hint of parsley and a couple of spoonfuls of steamed peas.

I decided I wanted more than just bangers and mash. So made them slightly fancier with my mash containing sour cream and parsley and also by creating a fully flavour packed gravy. Onions, rosemary, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and wholegrain mustard. Delish, try it out!

*TIP for amazing, cloud-like mashed potatoes – once they have been boiled leave them to sit in the hot water while you prepare other parts to the meal, makes all the difference!

the most orgasmic feijoa loaf ever

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 04:39:30 +0000

Smothered with hot butter… oh my god! You can’t get much better. It’s also the most simple recipe ever!

Recipe below the cut.

1 cup scooped out feijoas
1 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar, white
50g butter
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg, beaten

Boil feijoas, butter, sugar and water for five minutes. Then allow to cool.
Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
Fold feijoa mixture into dry ingredients in bowl. Make sure not to over mix.
Pour into greased loaf pan.
Bake for 50 minutes at 180*C.

Tip: Pipe a thin line of butter down the length of the bowl to create a split.

nothing says comfort more…

…than a cheese scone fresh from the oven, smothered in butter.

I know. I have been completely slack with starting this blog off. I’m feeling far more creative and lively these days so will be kicking this off any day soon. Watch this space.

*NB this is not a Jamie O recipe, this is one of my Mum’s.

Cheers!

Unfortunately I have to pause the blog for about six weeks while I travel through southeast Asia, but I can promise that in mid February she will be buzzing here with lots of progress, photos and recipes!

Happy New Year! May 2010 be a magnificent and above all, a happy year for everyone!

1 – Sweet short crust pastry

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 07:45:23 +0000

I used Jamie’s recipe for sweet short crust pastry to make my Christmas mince pies. I changed these up from traditional mince though by making my own recipe of pear and ginger. They were delicious and very popular! I made 90 and there are only about 20 left…

Welcome! You have stumbled upon the Bronnie cooks Jamie Oliver food blog, inspired by Julie & Julia.

I plan to cook all 104 recipes in Jamie Oliver’s cookbook, Jamie’s Kitchen, by 31st January 2011. This is just over a year, as I will be in southeast Asia for six weeks.

There will be cooking, stories and photos relating to all the recipes.

Please note that unfortunately I do not know Jamie Oliver and am in no way associated with him. I’m just a keen fan and cook! You can check out his official website here.

So pour yourself a glass of wine, get your taste buds working and as a warning don’t read these recipes on an empty stomach!
