  A great marriage is one where each person, without agenda, celebrates the unique and distinctive characteristics of the other, and lovingly helps them be the best possible version of themselves. When I see a couple who express this in their relationship I am always moved and inspired, because they are so much more together than they could possibly be individually. In my world I have a number of friends whose marriages have worked out this principle for many years and each day they bring joy to each other, and those in their sphere of influence. In a very roundabout way, this is an introduction to the marriage of ingredients and this recipe. Tomatoes and basil, chocolate and coffee, peas and mint are ingredients that belong together, and, when paired in a recipe with love, care and a little finesse, bring out the very best in each other while still maintaining their individual and distinctive flavours. Potatoes and rosemary are another such pairing, and in this...

By:  mawarre   May 16, 2020   dinner ,  recipes Baked chicken with cider and smoky bacon Once in a while i am struck all over again by just how blue the sky appears on wind-played autumn mornings, blue enough to bruise a heart. The weather has turned in my part of the world, and autumn has rushed in with crisp mornings, clear azure skies and the promise of cool evenings. It’s a short season, and every day is to be cherished. It’s a joy to be cooking food for the season – warming and hearty – stews and soups, roasts and puddings, root vegetables with earthy herbs like thyme, tarragon and rosemary. This casserole is rich and filling; perfect for the season, especially after a day in the outdoors. When making it try and find cider made from fresh apple juice, rather than concentrate, and look for a dry, not sweet variety. We love drinking cider in the summer, and the brew from the  Barossa Cider Co.  is one of our favourites. It is perfect for this dish. ...

  I love slightly unusual cakes – my   pistachio and walnut crumbly cake   and   gingerbread cake with blood orange syrup   are two examples of my leaning towards not-too-sweet, spiced, no-icing cakes that are better suited to grown-ups than the under eights in your household. And this cake is another in that category. There is texture from the polenta, spice with the inclusion of star anise in the syrup and beautiful perfume from a judicious sprinkling of orange blossom water. But it is a simple cake to make, and would be a wonderful finish to dinner with friends, served with some Greek yoghurt or a dollop of cream. Serves 8-10 200 g butter, at room temperature 200 g demerara sugar 3 large eggs 200g ground almonds 100 g fine polenta zest of 2 large oranges 1 teaspoon orange blossom water* 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon icing sugar, for decoration Orange and star anise syrup 250 ml orange juice juice of 1 lemon 125g caster sugar 1 teaspoon orange blossom wa...
