BITS AND PIECES


The cooler weather has prompted a bit of action in the kitchen

plus the fact that my parents are coming to visit for a week.


A batch of Anzac biscuits for all those cups of tea.




I've been browsing through this new cookery book.


I've picked a few recipes to try.


Oven baked risotto



I think I'll try this one first.


Oven baked chicken breast with eggplant, tomato and cheese.
I'll let you know the verdict.

Cheers.

  1. I have a couple of Donna Hay cookbooks, they are usually nice with simple ingredients and usually pretty tasty too. The oven baked risotto looks good as does the chicken.
    I had a salad today for lunch as it was so warm here. Too warm to think about winter casseroles. Mmmmm yum, Anzac biscuits.

  2. I have tried an oven baked risotto from the BBC and it works a treat if you measure the liquid and rice orrectly you end up with a perfectly cooked risotto without all that stirring and gradual adding of liquid - anything which makes life easier is good in my book! Hope you will have a good time with your parents -lucky you tohave them still!

  3. Mmmm... lovely stew and lovely looking chicken. Do say what it was like. It sounds scrummy.
    I tried a Delia oven baked risotto once. Not hugely successful. I had to keep checking it and pouring more liquid in. Even then it ended up too dry. Still, please try it because you may have better luck.
