Pumpkin isn’t a favourite vegetable in our house, but I might try this recipe. I think the added crunch of the pumpkin and sunflower seeds might just disguise the mashed pumpkin enough for me to get away with it.

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PUDDING
As I write this it’s Easter Sunday here, maybe not the time to add another chocolate recipe after all the Easter chocolate you’ve enjoyed, but I thought that this microwave pudding might be an easy one for the kids to make over the school holidays. Also, once the chocolate eggs are finished, a you might be ready for a choccy pudding.
BEEF, BEAN AND CHORIZO STEW
The discovery of chorizo while on holiday in Spain a few years ago was one of the highlights of the trip. Since then I’ve used it in a variety of dishes, with lamb and with beef, like in this stew, and my favorite cooked in apple cider as a hot savoury. I love it’s texture and spicy flavour and that extra kick it gives everything.
ZUCCHINI CAKE
It always surprises me just how versatile zucchini are. They’re a bit bland cooked on their own, but added to a stir fry, a stew, a slice, a pie and even a cake they’re a little gem. This cake recipe combines them with coconut and orange and is topped with a luscious orange icing – you can’t call that bland.
BOUILLABAISSE WITH TOMATO ROUILLE
This definitely a dish for a special occasion. It’s costly to make and takes a bit of work, but the result is well worth it and the lucky diners will be very impressed.
CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS
I’ve made this yummy chicken and mushroom dish lots of times. I either cook a chicken myself or buy a BBQ one from the supermarket. I halve the recipe using only one chicken, which is all you need unless you’ve got a really big crowd. It’s easy to make and I serve it with rice or noodles and salad and it works really well.
PORK BIRIANI
I’m always looking for things to cook when all the family come over for lunch. These days I look for gluten free dishes so that everyone can eat them. I was quite happy when I found this Pork Biriani and I hope they’ll like it. I just wish gluten free desserts were as easy to find.
MUSHROOM AND GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM
I think by this far into the summer we’re all a bit sick and tired of our usual salads, so here’s a new one to try. This is quite a hearty one and should go well with a barbeque or any other main dish.
PISTACHIO OLIVE OIL BISCUITS
I think the only thing I can say about these biscuits is – once they’re out of the oven and cooled, make yourself a cup of coffee, sit down and enjoy them…….
LAMB, RICE AND ALMOND CASSEROLE
I think it’s great when you come across a recipe that can be made the day before you need it. This is a pretty simple casserole with ingredients you’d mostly have in your cupboard, but the addition of a few spices, raisins and almonds makes it a tasty dish for the family or visitors.
