This one was done in a bit of a hurry.  It is week 20 of the ukstampers weekly challenge and the prompt is food:

• what is your favourite food and why – does it trigger memories (choc does not count)
• what is your food hell/has it traumatised you?
• include a recipe on your page

One little page is not enough to get in what I would like to say about food (I am a bit of a foodie) so I will keep this to the bare minimum.
I don’t really remember cooking with my grannies but I have always cooked with my mum, especially baking and having to fight my brothers to be the one to lick the spoon.
I will try most food items but still haven’t plucked up the courage to try mussels and the like and I will not try chicken feet.  Cheese has to be a definite favourite although not goat’s cheese and really good fresh coffee is a must.  I have always enjoyed fried egg rolls and fresh home made bread goes without saying.  Dauphinoise potatoes are my favourite way of cooking potatoes.  My food hell is flowery potatoes as I find them difficult to swallow and I have always been told to leave a clean plate especially in someone else’s house but I usually have to leave these. The recipe I have included is for a very simple rice pudding – it is so easy and by the time it comes out of the oven the milk has evaporated to leave it nice and creamy.  The image is from Karen’s whimsy.
