Foraging For Food: Crystalized Lavender
| May 29, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Spring, Summer |
We moved into a new house this week, and when I say it’s been mayhem and madness, I’m not joking. I’ve spent five days unpacking boxes, and it feels like I’ve barely made a dent. I’m sure it’ll all come together in one smooth motion but till then, I’ve had little to no time for… more
Foraging For Food – Ramson (Wild Garlic) Scones
| May 22, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring |
While savoury scones aren’t very common in England, they are among my favourite ‘snacks’. These are actually meant to be popped in the oven with a medley of chopped vegetables, but are equally good on their own, with a little butter. more
Foraging For Food – Ramson (Wild Garlic) Omelettes
| May 1, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring, Summer |
I’m still on the Ramsons this week – there are just so many of them, and so much you can do with them, it seems silly to keep them to one week.  Check last week’s post to find out more about where you can find Ramsons and poisonous lookalikes (which don’t smell like garlic at… more

It’s Mother’s Day in the UK tomorrow, and there’s little nicer than waking up to breakfast in bed. So, my advice, Mamas, is tell dads or older children to glance over here for some healthy, simple, child-friendly recipes brought to you by the HGCA.

Just Have to Share – Fantastic Banana and Coconut Bread
| August 29, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
This is such an amazing recipe. The bread is beautifully moist and such a lovely flavour. It uses less eggs than other recipes I’ve tried, and the addition of the coconut is unusual but brilliant. It’s also really quick to mix together, and fills the house with a subtle and warming fragrance. more
Everything Salad
| August 8, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring, Summer |
Everything salad can also be everything pasta. It is a quick and easy way of clearing out all those left over bits in the fridge and the vegetable bowl, while making a great, nutritious and filling meal. The key to a good ‘Everything Salad’ is colour and variety. An easy guide is to use the… more
Just Have to Share – Bosnian Borek (Meat Pitas)
| July 25, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
We spent last week with my sister and her boyfriend and his family in Croatia, where his Bosnian mother cooked us three meals a day unless we went out. She doesn’t speak a word of English so conversation was a non-starter, making getting recipes out of her very difficult so I have pieced this one… more
Just Have to Share – Zucchini Flowers (Courgettes)
| July 18, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Summer |
I love zucchini flowers. They don’t taste much like zucchini’s, or courgettes as they’re known in England, but instead have a flavour entirely unique. We first had them in a café in Varazze, Italy, then a few years later in a restaurant in Rome, stuffed with mozzarella. We have often scoured markets near us searching… more
Just Have to Share – Breakfast Flapjacks / Crumpets / Pancakes
| July 11, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Kids in the Kitchen |
Before I can even tell you about this recipe, I have to clarify terminology. I am from South Africa. In the children’s cookbook that I have had for years upon years, these are called flapjacks. In the UK, flapjacks are something totally different, and these are more likely to be called crumpets. In the US,… more

In the US, I believe these would be called pancakes, but I’m not sure. What they are are mini pancakes, made with a different batter.
