French Onion Soup

I first tried this soup at my favourite french restaurant, as an Amuse Bouche (ie a tiny drop of soup which made me crave more more more) I have been playing with this recipe for some years now. When you the whole way, and make the soup as well as the cheesy garlicky sourdough bread […]

Creamy blue cheese and mushroom risotto

I love a good risotto. In this one, the earthy mushroom flavour is a perfect foil for the tangy saltiness of the blue cheese. The addition of cream tempers the blue cheese down to make it milder and easier to enjoy. I served this alongside a beautiful marinated chicken schnitzel! I hope that you enjoy […]
