Ladies With Bottle: Lucky Pigs for the New Year and Stuffed Belly Pork with Smoked Ham
http://ladies-with-bottle.blogspot.com/2014/01/lucky-pigs-for-new-year-and-stuffed.html
Wednesday, 1 January 2014. Lucky Pigs for the New Year and Stuffed Belly Pork with Smoked Ham. Whilst looking for images for the New Year I came across lots of vintage postcards depicting lucky pigs. My curiosity roused, I decided to find out more about them. Apparently the New Year Lucky Pig (Glucksschwein) is Teutonic in origin and is a lucky symbol across Germany and Austria. Sources say that it was once popular in England and Ireland in the late 19. The saying is thought to have come about as you wer...

http://ladies-with-bottle.blogspot.com/2014/01/chinese-new-year-2014-year-of-horse.html
Tuesday, 28 January 2014. Chinese New Year 2014 - The Year of the Horse, Roast Duck and Melon Salad with Champagne. This year the Chinese New Year begins on 31. February this year I thought a duck recipe would be rather appropriate! Roast Duck and Melon Salad. 1 fresh duck (about 2kg / 4 lb). 1 ripe melon (you can use different melons if you want a more colourful salad, eg watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew). 2 tbsp salted soya beans (mashed). 4 whole star anise. 1 tbsp Light Soy sauce. 1 tsp sesame oil.

Ladies With Bottle: April 2014
http://ladies-with-bottle.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 16 April 2014. Of Salt and Wine – The Philosopher Winemaker's Story. The Gironde is famed for being the home to Bordeaux's wines of the Medoc but in times gone by the great estuary was a source of salt. There are still salt marshes and salt pans along the estuary, although most of the land in the Medoc was transformed into vineyards in the 17. Valentine Cornier was the grandmother of Pascal Delbeck, a 5. Delbeck Vignobles et Developpements. A salt made with Merlot and Cabernet wines. Wine Merc...

Ladies With Bottle: December 2013
http://ladies-with-bottle.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Poached Salmon in Aspic. I remember my first encounter with aspic as a child and it wasn't an auspicious one. The dish was Chicken in Aspic and although beautifully decorated I was very reluctant to taste it. Pale, cold chicken covered in jelly just didn't appeal to a 7 year old me! However I have revisited the notion of aspic recently as I have decided to do a cold poached salmon over Christmas and was looking for something that little bit special to pep it up. Can accompany a...

Ladies With Bottle: October 2013

Wednesday, 9 October 2013. Time to Spice Things Up! Harissa Roasted Leg of Lamb with Pumpkin Couscous. Harissa is used in North Africa as a condiment – a little like Mustard or Ketchup - but it is also used as the flavour base for soups, stews, curries, couscous and pastas as well as a salad dressing, dipping sauce and marinade for fish and meat. Apparently once tasted it's very moreish so I can't wait to try this recipe. If you love spicing things up and enjoy chilli. 1 leg of lamb. 4 tbsp Harissa paste.
