Depending on the ingredients and proportions this recipe can be anything from a Japanese teriyaki through to a Chinese honey braised soy chicken. Whatever the consistency you’ll end up with a sweet sticky chicken delight. You will need to prepare the Honey Soy Sauce / Marinade. Honey Soy Braised Chicken Wings Print Recipe

Ciabatta

Dec

16

2006

Having mastered the French style Pain de Campagne I thought I’d move on to another sour dough – the Italian Ciabatta. I picked this style of bread because it is meant to be very light and airy, and ultimately I’m aiming for Maltese Bread which is also light and airy. Because you’re aiming for light ...

The Marquee’s Casserole

2006

Every time Mark Doherty comes through we tend to get him to make a casserole – after all, he’s good at it. Eventually I asked for his recipe. His first explanation was “Generally I make it up as I go along – you know, take sufficient meat, combine with suitable vegetables and cook until done”, ...

Galit’s mum, Marie, serves these meat balls with Couscous for the Saturday lunch. The Haviv’s are Tunisian so expect a good hearty meal. I’ve also seen, but not tried, a similar recipe which has an extra egg in the meat balls, but doesn’t coat them in egg and flour. Marie Haviv Chicken or Turkey Meat ...

Cream of Tomato Soup

Oct

2006

I used to make a really thick mixture of tomatoes, onion, and chilli – so chunky it was almost a salsa – called it a soup and ate it with Bread. Galit wasn’t so keen on this, preferring a creamy texture, and the recipe got adapted to cater for her taste. It is a great ...

Pain de Campagne (French Country Bread) 7

Oct

2006

This is my favourite bread recipe at the moment – a French country style loaf using a sourdough starter. I’ve been making a loaf every Saturday morning for months now. The original version of this recipe is from Treuille and Ferrigno (1998), which is a book I’d thoroughly recommend for those just starting to make ...

Aviva’s Salad Dressing

Aviva used to organise big dinner parties in London. 20 South Africans, Galit and me. She did all the catering herself. Everything was fantastic but I only ever managed to steal her recipe for salad dressing before she moved back to South Africa. Aviva Soliman Aviva's Salad Dressing Print Recipe
