All the goodness in one tray!

If I see the word “Mediterranean”, my mind immediately goes to Shirley Valentine, the Liverpool mom, who regularly spoke to her wall and who one day just left a note on the fridge and deserted her chips-n-eggs eating husband and heads off to Greece for a fortnight of rest and relaxation.  I think I have two things in common with Shirley……
the one is that my husband would love chips-n-eggs more often than he gets it here in my kitchen and I am in desperate need of a fortnight’s rest and relaxation…. Chips-n-eggs I can fix tonight, but rest and relaxation will have to wait, so in the meantime, I can go to my happy place, the kitchen, and create a very simple Mediterranean meal with chicken, Mediterranean Delicacies Feta and Olives. Maybe I can invite Shirley and we can enjoy this simple, yet delicious meal and share a few life lessons in the process….. continue reading on

Ilse Fourie’s Mediterranean Smoked Kipper Quiche

The last post I wrote about Ilse Fourie‘s Butter Chicken, the standard comment was: “Beautiful….and the food isn’t bad either!” I got it! Loud and clear, with Ilse in the kitchen, my food and photography were taking  back seats and just because she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, I was ok with that! Today I  am sharing her delicious Smoked Kipper quiche recipe and I expect profuse drooling, not only for her, but for the quiche too!
During last week’s Easy Cooking Housewife Challenge, Ilse received Mediterranean Smoked Kippers and Mature Dutch Gouda cheese in her mystery basket.Dumbfounded at first, but after serious contemplation with Sue-Ann Allen (runner up Masterchef SA 2012), she felt inspired enough to create this masterpiece. It was a delicious quiche, she added just enough smoked quiche to give it a very subtle smokiness without overpowering it.With just enough cream, milk, eggs and  cheese to bring it all together, the result was a light, fluffy, eggy quiche….divine!!
