Spanish-style Flan

There are some desserts that sound sort of "exotic" - and flan is one of them. Though it may sound immodest, I will say I have mastered this Spanish-style Flan, and am finally getting around to sharing the recipe.

The great thing about this dessert is that it is best when chilled 24 hours in advance, so the "day before" prep makes "the day" roll out more smoothly. I tend to serve it with a little garnish - in this case caramelized pears and a crisp.

Curried Chicken Soup

Here's a quick curry soup. Although curry may evoke images of India, apart from using curry, I am not sure this would get a lot of check-marks as an Indian dish - but it's still yummy!

The original recipe used the term "madras curry",  however, "the name 'Madras Curry' is not used in India, but was invented by restaurants in Britain." (Wikipedia) I use my own curry mixture - try it! - and add more heat if you wish.

Mushroom Barley Soup

Mushrooms are popular in the KB kitchen - versatile, in so many dishes. As I add this to the site, it's nearing the end of Winter and we all feel sun-deprived - thus possibly low on Vitamin D. Did you know mushrooms are a source of vitamin D, fibre, minerals and B complex vitamins? 

This soup not only tastes great, but is a beautiful sight to behold with rich, deeply coloured broth.

Hungarian Bean and Smoked Sausage Soup (Bableves)

Temperatures today were in the double digits, but as long as it is still officially winter go ahead and make this hearty soup.

This continues the theme of a Hungarian bean soup where the flavour of paprika mingles with smoked meat - except in this case it is smoked sausage. These are easy to find in local delicatessens.
