Dulce de Leche Brownies
I found a jar of dulce de leche caramel lurking at the back of the fridge when we were craving something sweet and chocolatey the other day, so these decadent little brownies came to our rescue. They are very delicious, very rich and simply perfect eaten straight out of the fridge. Not only are they great as a coffee time treat, but they will double as a sweet little canapé to serve friends in a few weeks time (everything is crossed as I type that). If you don't have a jar


Chinese Cucumber Salad
It’s Valentine’s weekend and it’s also Chinese New Year, so a copy of a Chinese cucumber dish we tasted and loved in Hong Kong, with the cucumber cut into hearts, seems to tick both boxes. Of course chunks of cucumber will do just as well, but for those romantics among us, just get your smallest heart cutter out and get cutting. The dip is quick to make and is almost a thin hummus. What’s not to like? Pretty healthy too. 💕 Ingredients - makes approximately 20 small hearts Ha


Turkish Salsa
I wanted to make our Friday evening meal just a bit more special and I remembered this recipe from Jennifer Joyce. In the past I have served this for friends as a dip before the main meal, but shared between the two of us with a chilled glass of wine, it made a very easy and tasty starter. Ingredients - serves 2 as a starter or 4 as a dip 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses 1/2 tbsp tomato purée 1/4 cucumber 1 tbsp chopped red onion 1/2 smallish red pepper 2 tbsp chopped mint 15g Fe
