Greek Potato Hash (2)

A recipe from Honey & Co for a delicious potato side dish, and one which I think could also be served as brunch. Comfort food at it’s very best.

A delicious version of Cornbread to make at home from the Caravan chain of restaurants.

Fried Brown Rice with Brussels Sprouts, Fried Eggs, Greens and Chilli (4-6)

A full of flavour and very satisfying brunch dish from ” Caravan: Dining All Day” by Chris Ammermann, Laura Harper-Hinton, Miles Kirby.

Eggs with Potatoes and Cumin (2)

The Syrian name for this comforting dish is Muffaraket Batata and I found the recipe in ” Syria Recipes from Home” by Hab Azzam and Dina Mousawi. In the introduction to this dish they descibed how they met a group of young Syrians cooking this in a public park in Lesbos while waiting to register as refugees. Lets hope that many of these displaced individuals can now return to their homeland if they wish to do so. The dish is also popular with pregnant women as it is belived to be a good detoxifier.

Panettone Stuffing Squares ( 24-48 squares)

These panettone stuffing squares are great served at parties or with drinks in small squares but if you like you could serve them alongside a roast in which case you would get the smaller number of squares. The recipe is from ” Nigellissima ” by Nigella Lawson.

Eggs Scrambled in Bacon Fat (2)

A luxurious way to serve eggs and bacon from Melbourbe based chef Blayne Bertoncello.

Fennel and Sausage Muffins ( makes 12)

These muffins make a great snack on their own but are also good to accompany soup. The recipe is from ” Stirring Slowly” by Georgina Hayden.

Marmite Crumpet Cauliflower Cheese (2)

As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I would never have thought of pairing Marmite with cauliflower but I can assure you it works. The recipe is from ” The Year of Miracles” by Ella Risbridger, a book I think everyone should by for her personal story, alongside the recipes she shares.

Bubble and Sauerkraut Squeak (4)

A very good storecupboard standby supper from ” Veggie Family Cook Book” by Claire Thomson. Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage and it is now widely recognised that fermented foods can play an important role in supporting gut health.

Green Chilli con Carne with Warm Cornbread (6)

A version of chilli con carne using pork from Yotam Ottolenghi. You can reduce the amount of jalapeno chillies to make it child friendly if you need to.
