Caribbean Pepperpot Stew

Caribbean Pepperpot Stew by Sylvia Waltering

Pin It Now!If like me you live in the North of England, then you'll also know that despite it being Summer Solstice today it really hasn't been feeling like summer.It's not weather for BBQs and al fresco dining. Instead I'm still happy to have stews and soups and I even made a hot water bottle the other night as I felt really chilly…

Spanish Green Beans and Tomatoes by Sylvia Waltering

Pin It Now!Admittedly I'm not usually the biggest fan of green beans, but every now and then I buy them and this time I had a bunch that were given to me by my neighbours A and G as they headed off for a week in sunny Bilbao.In homage to their Catalonian holiday I made them into Spanish Green Beans and served them alongside griddled…

Beetroot and Walnut Hummus by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall by Sylvia Waltering

Pin It Now!I'm currently working on an artists' book about a dinner party, so of course I had to have said dinner party to get it started.

Boozy Banana Bread

Boozy Banana Bread by Sylvia Waltering

If you are anything like me, you will occasionally find some rather yucky sad looking bananas in your kitchen or your fruit bowl or wherever you keep your bananas. I mean the ones that aren't even really freckled any longer, but are turning a monochrome brown. I used to just throw bananas in the freezer before they got to that state,…

Spanish Fish Stew

Spanish Fish Stew by Sylvia Waltering

I won a competition a few weeks ago on Lavender & Lovage. The prize? £65 worth of fish from Delish Fish, a great family run business up in Scotland that delivers fresh fish directly to your door.

Norwegian Apple Cake to celebrate 5 years of A Pot of Tea and a Biscuit by Sylvia Waltering

Pin It Now!Well, the real reason for making an apple cake was that my lovely friend Liz came round on Sunday with a bag full of windfall apples from her garden that needed using. However, I also realised that A Pot of Tea and a Biscuit is five years…
