Flaked Salmon Salad with Mozzarella and Pine Nuts

Shepherd’s pie with potato and sweet potato mash
Hey everyone! So I thought I would kick-start 2017 with a wonderful comfort food dish, shepherd’s pie.

And she loves making mash potato, but she would always add sweet potato without telling me because I used…

Hello everyone! So before we get to the recipe for these Christmas trifles, I got big news, I have officially created a YouTube channel for Blogtastic Food, and this is my first video. So I won’t be writing too much today, and I’ll just let the video speak for itself. However I just wanted to…
Christmas spiced apples
v So, spiced apples, this to me is the warm, comforting kind of dish that makes you think about Christmas. The reason I made this recipe is that I wanted to make a dish that goes well with the Christmas pork belly recipe I recently posted. Which I will link at the bottom of this post…

Easy French Toast Soldiers with Scrambled Eggs
A quick and easy French toast brunch that tastes amazing! And a recipe that calls for 0 waste. So you use the leftover egg to make scrambled eggs, which is just like the icing on the cake. Sounds like a pretty epic breakfast right? The toasted soldiers actually remind me of my childhood. My mum…
Snappper Croquettes

Roast Quail with Polenta
If you ever want to try something different or cook something that will get people super curious. Roast quail is a great way to go. It was very nice to cook a meat other than the usual chicken, lamb, beef and pork. I have tried cooking and eating a fair few different game birds now….
Whole Roast Duck
