The Perfect Spirit for Halloween – Smirnoff Red Widow Cocktail

October 19, 2015 by Fiona Maclean 2 Comments

Halloween Cocktail

The Red Widow – Bloody Mary with an Oriental Twist. As a child, I was never allowed to get involved in Halloween activities.  My mother thought it was an ‘American’ activity and as such, just as I wasn’t allowed to eat anything that was called a ‘cookie’ or eat ‘candy’, getting involved in ‘trick or […]

chicken with tarragon

Tarragon Chicken – a Recipe and a Cautionary Tale For the last three years I’ve been trying to grow tarragon on my roof terrace.  The first year, my seedlings dried out and died.  The second year the snails got them!  This year, I managed to grow a nice tarragon plant from seed…only to discover I’d […]

courgettes for my balcony garden

Potted Balcony Gardening Take Two: It’s still less than a year since I started writing this blog.  Looking back on last year, one of my great thrills last year was managing to grow a lot of my own vegetables on my very small roof terrace.  I’ve got about eight square feet of space and I […]

last of the summer tomatoes

This year I grew three types of tomato from seed in pots on my windowsill and then on my balcony.   This recipe is for a competition with http://www.lovethegarden.com,  so I am quite pleased that I’ve been able to rescue the last of my summer tomatoes! Gardener’s delight – fabulous smallish salad tomatoes that I couldn’t […]

Perfect Comfort Food for a Cold Weather Vegetarian – Mushroom Goulash: It’s getting very wintery, instead of craving salads at lunchtime I want something warming like this spicy and simple mushroom goulash!  This is a very easy vegetarian version of beef goulash that I made a few years ago.  The original version didn’t have celery […]

Lessons from Year One Balcony Gardening

September 4, 2011 by Fiona Maclean Leave a Comment

Today's Harvest

Balcony Gardening – Growing your own The biggest lesson is that it works!  This summer I’ve bought aubergines, garlic, coriander and courgettes.  For the rest of the summer (from around the start of June), my vegetables and herbs have been entirely home grown.  I’m rather impressed by that. For someone living alone it has been […]

Simple Ceviche

Monkfish Ceviche

An easy ceviche recipe: This is an easy way to make something quite special.  Ceviche is something you could make for a light meal, or serve as a starter.  I made mine with monkfish because it is what I had in the fridge but I’ve eaten it made with scallops and I’ve seen recipes for […]
