Hungarian Strudels or ReTes TeSzta

The dough is folded several times, creating several layers, hence the name. Rétes is the "King" of pastries in Central Europe. Hungarian Rétes is similar to the Vienna Strudel, except it is a bit thinner. Rétes is a Hungarian peasant cake and is used to be a part of every celebration feast in the Hungarian lowlands. Today, it is prepared all over Hungary.There is a definite family resemblance between Strudel Dough and the Greek Phyllo. The Hungarians first adopted the incredibly thin strudel dough from the Turkish pastry Baklava. This famous dessert is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. Also, Greeks use spinach as well to create their Spanakopita or spinach pie is a Greek savoury pastry in the burek family...

Pork and pear forcemeat stuffing (gluten free)

I made this stuffing as a variation on the traditional pork and apple as I was out of apples and none of us could face the thought of the supermarket on Christmas eve! I'll have to wait and comment on the success or otherwise after tomorrow.900g pork mince (you can use sausage meat if you like - I bought a cheap joint and minced it)4 slices gluten free bread2 pears, peeled and chopped1 small onion, finely chopped2 tsps mixed dried herbs (I used sage, thyme and basil)2 eggs1 tsp salt1/2 tsp white pepperMince the meat if not already done (my cheap plastic hand mincer works fine for this).

It was popular with...

Christmas ham

I'm making a glazed ham as part of a buffet on boxing day. This recipe does use quite a lot of sugar but the amount in each serving is small and it's very tasty. I'll also be making smoked salmon crust-less quiches, dips with crudites, king prawns with garlic mayonaise, a big salad, a trifle, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake.A ham large enough for all your guestsAbout 10 cloves2 tbsp honey2 tbsp whole grain mustard2 tbsp brown sugarBoil the ham for 25 minutes per pound, plus 20 minutes in a large pan of water. You can do this in advance to save time. When the ham is cooled, push the cloves into it, spread around all over it. Score any fat on the top. Mix the honey, sugar and mustard together. Put the ham into a roasting pan lined with foil (this is important - believe me!), and spread...

The Sweeter Side of Austrian Cuisine

Austria's cuisine comes from the Austro-Hungarian cuisine and it has Italian, Bavarian, Hungarian, and Czech influences. Austrian pastries are famous and it is true that the people there love desserts. Vannilekipferl is a Christmas dessert and these are little, crescent-shaped cookies which are made with ground hazelnuts or almonds. These little snacks are flavored, often with vanilla, and they have powdered sugar on top. They come from Vienna.Tortes and chocolates are also popular in this cuisine and the Sachertorte is especially renowned. Sachertorte consists of chocolate sponge with apricot jam in the middle. The frosting is made of dark chocolate and there are also chocolate flakes decorating the sides and top. This tasty treat is often served with unsweetened whipped cream....

Paleo friendly breaded chicken

Today's lunch is baked 'breaded' chicken from Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso. I can highly recommend this book - we've enjoyed every recipe we've tried so far and the exercise tips are great - the whole family has used them.12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs1 cup almond flour1 cup coconut flour1 tbsp garlic powderPinch of salt and pepper2 eggs *Mix the flours, garlic powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, let the excess drip off, then press into the flour mixture. Turn over and press in again, making sure that it's well covered. If I have any mixture left over I tend to press it onto the tops of the chicken before baking as it's so tasty! Put the chicken pieces onto a greased baking tray and cook in the oven at 180 oC for 35 - 40...

Heat the cream and vanilla to near boiling. Pour a little of the hot cream into the yolk mixture and stir quickly in. Keep adding the cream a little at a time until it's all combined.

Gluten free banana bread

This recipe is slightly adapted from the paleo banana bread recipe here. We had it for a Solstice breakfast with hot custard. It was easy to make and really tasty!

My eldest son made this more or less by himself - it's quite a kid friendly recipe.3 ripe bananas (riper the better)4 eggs2 tsp vanillla extract60g butter or coconut oil (1/4 cup)1 tbsp splenda2 cups almond flour1 tsp baking sodapinch of saltLine a loaf tin (I love those nifty premade loaf cases that are like cupcake liners) and preheat oven to 160oC.
