Part II of our epic rail journey across the alps. Moving right along from St Moritz, R and I hop on the Bernina Express and come down the mountain side, crossing over into Italy. There we make our way to the picturesque town on the shores of Lake Como … read : George Clooney’s playground.

For Valentine’s Day this year R took me to Switzerland and we spent the day touring the Swiss alps on the world renowned Glacier Express, ending up in St Moritz mountain ski resort. For train enthusiasts, this rail journey is definitely worth the price tag ~ the views are some of the most stunning I have ever seen in my life!!

Stewed fruit topped with buttery crumble makes for a very satisfying end to a meal. I went for a wintery flavour by making this crumble with a combination of sweet juicey dessert pears, tart apples and dark cherries. Served warm along with vanilla custard, this dessert is perfect on a chilly night.

Mid-week meals drive me crazy coz I never really know what to cook for dinner. If I had my way I would eat chicken 5x a week and then maybe spice things up a little on the weekends with fish or a slab of beef. But I don’t live on my own ergo, I have to make mid-week meals appealing to the rather fussy-eater boyfriend who by the way, would be happy with a daily dose of steak and chips.

Another great recipe to have on-hand when you have leftover mashed potato sitting in the fridge after that weekend dinner party. Fabio Viviani’s recipe for hole-less Italian donuts are really good; sooooo soft and fluffy on the inside, it’s like breaking open a cloud.

Chilli, garlic and butter make the perfect sauce for shrimps. Place these over some freshly boiled sheghetti and you have a meal you won’t regret. It’s very comforting and satisfying. I adore shimps and this dish makes the perfect mid-week meal when you simply cannot be bothered slaving away at the stove.

What’s a girl to do on a reaaaaally slow day? Watch tonnes of YouTube videos and get food inspiration! Today I tried my hand at Gougères, a classic French cheese puff. These took me less than 30 mins to make and are really yummy. If you have friends over I suggest you make more than just one batch coz they will disappear before your very eyes.

Had a dinner party then got left with a basketful of assorted dinner rolls after. Didn’t want to throw them out so I turned them into a scrumptious new side-dish ~ a savoury chilli cheese and bacon bread pudding. Definitely a good way to prevent wastage of good food.

More spiced up desserts for the cold months ahead. Today I give you a simple homey pudding of spiced apples and vanilla sponge called an Eve’s Apple Bake. It’s one of the first puddings I have ever made from scratch because it is so easy to do … although I still managed to screw it up (I was THAT bad at baking). Served with ice-cream or vanilla custard, this dessert will be 100% gratifying.

Beautiful baby bundt cakes with all the spicey flavours associated with the festive season. In Holland spiced cookies called ‘Speculaas’ and ‘Kruidnoten’ are traditional for this time of year, so I thought how about some spiced cakes as well to add to the mix. These are then glazed with a creamy butterscotch glaze and given a light dusting with cinnamon sugar. Brilliant!
