Recipes

The recipes posted here include a mix of my own creations, adaptations from websites, recipes given to me by family/friends, and the occasional recipe from a cookbook.  I've tasted and tested all of them and most can be classified as "easy" to "moderate" in terms of cooking skill level.  If possible use fresh and high quality ingredients, as it makes a noticeable difference!

A difficult choice, but the recipes with a star (*) are my all-time favourites!
