Cannoli

Well we finally did it. Cannoli are one of our very favourite things in the little moon house, and we've been wanting to try and make them ourselves for a long time. So after we found some pastry tubes, we finally took on the cannoli challenge. Its a complex process, and one that definitely requires an assistant, but the final product looks and tastes so good.

Spiced apricot and lamb stew

I've been wanting to cook Persian for ages then I found this gorgeous recipe for spiced lamb with apricots and the rest, as they say, is history.

Moussaka

One of my lovely assistant's favourites, this makes a very generous sized moussaka for two with enough left over for a lunch or another tea.

Lasagna

An absolute classic and very easy to adapt to suit your taste or whatever ingredients you have in stock

Chilli Chicken with Noodles

Last night's challenge was to find am interesting recipe for chicken, that would use some of the veg and stuff that we already had in. So we adapted a really nice recipe from the Chinese Food Made Easy book we have. This makes a lovely sized meal for two and the sauce is really fragrant and full of flavour.

Toad in the Hole

An absolute favourite of mine, so when we bought sausages the other week I just couldn't resist making toad in the hole.
