~Cook Up with donna hay and Irina~

Another Cook Up happened just before Christmas here

from donna hay magazine Issue 71 Oct/Nov 2013

On the menu was Mustard and Fennel Port Skewers with Pea Hummus

Vanilla Sponge Cake with Cream and Passionfruit

I served it with a bit of Beetroot Dip

So very, very tasty!!!

Donna's sponge

and mine

This was a bit of a challenge as I hadn't made a sponge cake forever but I substituted for gluten free flour and it was delicious.....especially with that tangy passionfruit!!!

Irina has joined me in these cook ups and I'm loving her choices

Anyone is welcome to join

All you have to do is cook something from the current donna hay magazine and blog it......

Bon Appetit

*Cook Up (No 21) with Donna Hay and ~Irina~

Above is a pic of the parsley fresh from the garden that I used in my Cook Up

from donna hay magazine Issue 67 Feb/March 2013

Potato Crisp, Fennel and Prawn Salad with Mustard and Cayenne Dressing

the wine

I have to admit this is the first time I have actually bought a fennel bulb and cooked with it

and what a surprise it was......Mr Armchair and JoJo agreed we'll have to have it more often

And tah-dah all finished

A lovely light dish which is easy to make and put together plus a perfect one for warm evenings

I think we'll have to have this one again come Summertime!

I look forward to your next Cook Up Irina and seeing what you choose!!!
