It’s time to start the Christmas preparations in the cottage and about now (mid November) is just right for making the Christmas cake. This year I’m making an 8-inch round Christmas cake, which should be just the right size for the family. Click on the link above to find the recipe.
This is another Autumn favourite from Oma’s Kitchen. Sometimes when you come in from a shopping trip or back from work late in the afternoon or early evening, you just want something quick to get and nourishing. This soup can be made at the weekend and eaten through three or four days.
‘This dish had humble beginnings as a poor man’s catchall for leftover meats, fish and sausages and plenty of rice. Today it is one of the most revered dishes in Louisiana, and both Creole and Cajun cuisines proudly claim it as their own.’ from the book ‘The best of New Orleans’.
Pecan Pie (from the Southern United States)
This is a new recipe for me. While I’m here in the Southern United States, I am tasting and enjoying some new foods. I made this yesterday and it is a big success. I love the texture. See what you think.
Two ingredients not often used in England are Corn Syrup and Pecan nuts.

In my cottage we don’t eat meat every day. This dish is based on cheese as the protein. It is a complete meal containing carbohydrates in the potato, fat in the cheese and the milk and vegetables in the onion. It is very delicious and feeds four hungry people.
