Christmas Dessert 2016

Baked sweet potatoes with grated salad & very sticky and crunchy seeds
Okay, you might not be able to see the sweet potato hidden underneath the grated salad, but to get an idea, it should look like that! For me the best part of this dish are the sticky crunchy seeds and the spiced yoghurt. But to be honest, this whole sweet potato rocks! -enjoy- Ingredients (serves…

Sometimes it is very daunting to cook an Italian dish for my Italian colleagues. But when it works the joy is double! This risotto dish takes some time and care to make it, but you will agree with me that the result is worth it. I didn’t grill the mushrooms in a griddle pan but…

Spicy chorizo pan lasagne
Okay, for 30 people making pan lasagne is a bit difficult. So, I made the sauce in a big cooking pan and layered the lasagne out in a large dish ( actually we needed 2!) to put all in the oven (200ºC) to bake for 40-45 minutes. The Chorizo is the surprise of the dish….
