I had a hankering for steak. Although the recipe is for pan fried steak I have also cooked the steak on the BBQ. That meant I didn’t get the residue in the pan, but I got the BBQ effect. Very tasty.

The Haviv family often offer English Cake (Gateaux Anglais) with coffee in the afternoon. It is quite dry, which is good with coffee, but originally didn’t appeal to me. In New Zealand cakes tend to be more moist. Like most of Robert’s recipes this was a bit loose and it took a couple of years ...

2010

Lunch at Gadi and Yaffa Wainer’s is always a high light of my trips to Israeli. Yaffa always serves up something fab. One of her favourites is bread pudding … and she does it really well. Perhaps it is the challa which, being a sweet bread, I usually find rather uninspiring. But in a pudding ...

Aside from the potatoes mentioned below she served it with Brazilian lentils. Portuguese Roast Lamb Ines Rato Succulent ...
