Gingerbread Ice-Cream
Woo-hoo – this is my first recipe that I made up myself! No credits to anyone here but me. And even better – it is really good*! I did research a few different recipes and took what I thought would…
Rich & Meaty Lamb Ragu
The first slow cooker recipe of the season, and wow it was good. I had it with polenta and it was like a warm blanket. I had to start it early and be patient, but on a rainy Sunday there…

Coffee Kahlua Ice Cream
I found this recipe as part of a coffee ice-cream cake. I wasn’t keen on the entire cake but someone commented on how good the ice-cream was. And they were right. This has now become my base recipe for ice-cream.…
