corn pikelets with salmon & sourcream

christinajbartlett — Sun, 16 Mar 2014 04:22:15 +0000

A kiwi classic that appears at many high teas, barbeques or dinner parties is the corn fritter. In New Zealand, a corn fritter is a savoury pikelet – a basic pikelet recipe with the addition of fresh or frozen corn. Pikelets are New Zealand’s (and Australia’s) take on the scone – tiny, barely sweet, flat […]

mashed banana pancakes

Because a weekday morning is as good as any to enjoy a decadent breakfast. Pancakes – as if any more recipes are needed on this pancake-flooded web. But I can’t resist recommending this for the most fluffy, airy and naturally sweet pancakes: mash banana into the pancake batter. That’s all. I have mashed banana into […]

applesauce & flax dutch baby

The traditional Dutch Baby takes the hard work out of pancake breakfasts. One giant pancake is baked in a skillet, saving the pouring, flipping, transferring, keeping-warm that makes up the usual pancake fiasco. The best part? The apples which are sauteed in the skillet before pouring over the batter and shoving into the oven, resulting […]

pearl barley & blueberry pancakes

christinajbartlett — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 00:04:30 +0000

It was with great excitement I received a pile of parcels yesterday. Just like Christmas, everything comes all at once. The mail must get held up in Edmonton or Yellowknife, then Buffalo finally gets the chance to bring it up to Norman Wells. I’ve already mentioned how exciting mail is. But unless you’ve experienced isolation […]

buckwheat crépes with wilted greens & feta

christinajbartlett — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 22:25:34 +0000

Buckwheat crépes are brilliant – nutty, tasty and full of nutrients. We love buckwheat in it’s whole form, as in buckwheat porridge. But milled into a powdery meal it is much more versatile and can be used in place of your usual wheat flour in almost any recipe, bringing a hearty, earthy taste and a […]

broccoli parmesan fritters

christinajbartlett — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 16:10:04 +0000

Broccoli haters, hoping to disguise that green goodness in fritters; this, I tell you, is not the recipe for you! However. If you, like me, are an avid broccoli lover, searching for more ways to use it to its full (other than lightly steamed as a side to a dish) then grab your mixing bowl, […]

happy new year!

And we’re back! J and I have been away for a week, exploring some beautiful beaches, bustling campsites, rolling surf and a very pretty wedding. We’ve been struck by some nasty mosquito bites, some fantastic adventures with friends, and some divine (camping style) meals. We saw the New Year in with cocktails, headband games, and […]

pear & buckwheat pancakes with honey butter

christinajbartlett — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 04:23:46 +0000

You may be wondering where my fascination with Kim Boyce and Good to the Grain has gone. Or.. you may not be. I’ll tell you anyway. Nowhere! It’s still my favourite recipe book and it sits perched on its cookbook stand (one of those oh-so-useful wedding presents) peering at me everyday (even from our bed […]

I love oats. There. I said it. Now, I’m not one to throw that L word around. But I really cannot deny it. And who have I to thank for that? My dear mother and father. Thanks mum and dad For as long as I can remember (well, since swapping from the beloved Mini Wheats) […]
