Not Quite NigellaThe slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.Rosemary Roasted Pork with Maple Apple Sauce- September 16, 2008 I believe in fate or kismet or whatever you may want to call it. Recipes or things often present themselves at a time when I need them. Case in point was this recipe. I was cleaning up and saw this magazine, open on this recipe. I meant to clean up and throw it out but ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/17/rosemary-roasted-pork-with-maple-apple-sauce/ LAtelier de Jol Robuchon, London- September 15, 2008 There&8217;s nothing nicer than a lunch out during a sunny London summer&8217;s day. Unfortunately, this day we had a miserable rainy summer&8217;s day today in London. I can start to see why Londoners strip off when it&8217;s warm and sit in the park, in a representation of a beachside break, when the sun comes out. We&8217;re ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/16/latelier-de-joel-robuchon-london/ Cindy Crawfords Strawberry Pie- September 14, 2008 I made this dish, called &8220;Cindy Crawford&8217;s Strawberry pie, at the risk of getting a flood of traffic from porn seekers. To those who came here looking for something of the less clothed variety, I say a bright &8220;Hello!&8221; and warn them that there&8217;s only food porn on this site. I saw Cindy Crawford making this ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/15/cindy-crawfords-strawberry-pie/ La Pont de la Tour, Shad Thames, London- September 13, 2008 The Conran family are the original multitalented family. Sir Terence, the restauranteur owns a large chunk of London and its restaurants, his son Jasper (designer of gorgeous China pieces for Wedgwood)and his wife Shirley, the writer and author of &8220;Superwoman&8221; and &8220;Lace&8221; (anyone remember the Lace mini series), Sebastian (who helped Nigella design her Living ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/14/la-pont-de-la-tour/ Lemon Polenta sandwich cookies- September 12, 2008 Make no mistake, although these biscuits resemble those crumbly, delicious Passionfruit melting moments these biscuits have a steely core. OK perhaps not exactly steely but a definitely crunchy core. While Melting moments literally can melt on the tongue these pale sandwiched beauties give you a firm crunch back from the addition of the polenta. This recipe ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/13/lemon-polenta-sandwich-cookies/ Bentley Restaurant and Bar, Surry Hills- September 11, 2008 I was curious about Bentley Restaurant &38; Bar. It&8217;s one of the latest restaurants with a bit of a buzz about it, and one of those places that only has two seatings, you can either dine at 6.30pm or 8.30pm. For me, when it used to be a bar it wasn&8217;t anything to particularly write ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/12/bentley-restaurant-and-bar-surry-hills/ And the Winners are- September 11, 2008 Thankyou to all of the readers who entered the Annabel Trends teatowel competition. The winners chosen by Annie from Annabel Trends are&8230; drumroll please Suzie L for her idea: &8220;I use a tea towel instead of a salad spinner. Rinse your lettuce leaves, place on tea towel, grab each corner and swing around above your head. ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/11/and-the-winners-are-2/ Apple Cinnamon Vice Cream (Vegan Ice Cream)- September 10, 2008 I&8217;m not a vegan, not even close to being a vegan. But what I am is a cashew nut lover. I was curious about this ice cream as I had heard rave reviews from vegans but what I wanted to see was how it stacked up for a non vegan. Was it as good or ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/11/apple-cinnamon-vice-cream-vegan-ice-cream/ Malaysia Festival, Darling Harbour 2008- September 9, 2008 I tend to keep my head in the sand about festivals. Don&8217;t get me wrong, I love them but I often miss them, too busy working or scouting out restaurants, cooking or entertaining. But when a NQN reader Doro emailed me a month ago saying that she was part of the committee organising the ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/10/malaysia-festival-darling-harbour-2008/ Gooey Chocolate Brownie and Strawberry Sandwich Cake- September 8, 2008 Inspired by the moistness of the Middle Eastern Blood Orange cake that eschewed flour in favour of almond meal, I combined a recipe of Nigella&8217;s for Flourless Chocolate Brownies and an idea from Tessa Kiros&8217;s Apples from Jam . With strawberries being plentiful now, I had two punnets of gorgeously huge and sweet berries. I ...http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/09/gooey-chocolate-brownie-and-strawberry-sandwich-... |
