Oh wow. It has been a really big month here. I have virtually not had time to cobble posts together so I am grateful for everyone that has commented and visited My Kitchen Stories. I have had a very full plate with cakes, catering, and a rather large car accident with a bit of renovating…
Rice, Pasta and Grains
Sausage and Tomato Risotto, weeknight dinner
I know, you probably think that risotto is hard or that it takes a long time. Neither is true. Risotto is just rice that you need to stir while you are doing other things. As long as you have good rice …bingo… easy perfect weeknight dinner I’ve talked about rice for risotto before but, I’m…
Lasagne Soup, Lasagne only quicker
Lasagne Soup. What could be better? Lasagne in a bowl in less than 30 minutes. Nothing beats Lasagne in my house. Nothing. Except maybe this Lasagne Soup. This seemed to make Skater sit up and notice. It tastes pretty much like Lasagne but it takes 1/4 of the time to cook. Naturally you can sneak…
Ricotta and Spinach Cannelloni
Fill and bake Spinach Cannelloni tubes for a giant pot of delicious family food I have something to report. Skater has made some rather good dinners during January. You may remember that I said I was going to encourage my son step up to the stove and cook dinner once a week this year. This…
Vanilla Risotto with Cherry emulsion and Chuao Chocolate- Competition Time!

Have you noticed that most competitions these days are a bit of a popularity contest? Â You enter, display your work and then you have to start campaigning for votes, like being in high school….so not fun. I…
Slow Roast Lamb with Risoni a one pot wonder
I have a love hate relationship with Master chef. On one hand it fascinates me and on the other it has become one big weeping slobbering quest for perfection. Few people own up to watching yet it’s back into production for its 7th season. That must mean that it has a lot of viewers….
Spinach and Pumpkin Rotolo with Hungarian Salami
Pumpkin and Spinach Rotolo with Hungarian Salami is something I whipped up last night after a stressful day. The recipe is inspired by Jamie Oliver, and makes perfect sense. It’s much quicker and easier to make than lasagne, which Skater would eat every night of the week. Â I didn’t follow any recipe I just used…
Beetroot Risotto, Balsamic Rump and Horseradish cream
There seems to be a little mystery about Risotto. There shouldn’t be. The only mystery regarding risotto is the rice you use. If you have had a terrible experience making risotto you may have to start again with some more suitable rice. Â Did your last risotto resemble a pot of glue? Then you probably bought…
