A Trail Of Beautiful Memories/2021
Time for us to look back at those who left us and to say goodbye.
They touched us in so many ways … their talents, their deeds, their special gifts.

The Bethlehem Menu/Christmas 2021
Food is a global language. I used to wonder about the food eaten during the time of Jesus. So this year I decided to google that. It was amazing what I found. There was so much of information and one thing led to another and we as a family decided to cook The Bethlehem Menu for Christmas this year. It was a wonderful lesson in faith, history, geography, science and much more.
The Wise Woman’s Pomegranate Orange Salat
I called it The Wise Woman’s Pomegranate Orange Salat to honour my late Mum. I like to think that the Wisemen were wise because of the women who brought them up and the extraordinary women they must have met on their way.
St. Peter’s Fish
I was stunned to learn that St; Peter’s Fish is the humble tilapia which is served whole with the head, fried or grilled with a side of lemon. My recipe is a steamed version.
Traditional Honey Vegetables/Tsimis
This is a traditional Jewish dish called Tsimis or Tzimmes served at celebrations and important occasions. I have made Traditional Honey Vegetables numerous times. It is usually made for traditional Jewish festivals and one that we absolutely love.
Almond Angel Wings/Marzipan
Almond Angel Wings are delectable bites of cooked marzipan. I called them Angel Wings because to me they look like Angel Wings when arranged artistically on a plate.
Biblical Chicken
Biblical Chicken is one of the most surprising recipes that I came across while researching on foods during Biblical times.
Christmas Scalloped Potatoes
Christmas Scalloped Potatoes are part of The Bethlehem Menu because potatoes are one of the most popular of festive foods. Although not eaten during Biblical times, the other ingredients like milk and cheese were. They are thinly sliced potatoes and onions are layered in a cheese sauce and baked until tender, golden, and bubbly.
