Need to whip up a tasty, impressive breakfast in a jiffy? Keep a bag of pancake mix in your cupboard for fritters in a flash. We bought Golden Cloud Pancake Mix and followed the packet instructions to make up about half of the mix. We added a large tin of drained corn kernels, seasoned the mix and added a bit more dry mix for a thicker, puffier fritter. If you don’t feel like corn, try grated baby marrows (water squeezed out), cooked cauliflower, grated carrot or peas. A blob of crème fraîche or sour cream flavoured with snipped, fresh herbs…
Quail is a common meat in many European dishes. It has a lean, gamey meat that becomes wonderfully flavourful after marinating. Vine roasted quail is an elegant dish that’s…

Such a sobering and sad time there, seeing the names of so many young men from all over the world that lost their lives during the Battle of Gallipoli. Then we drove to the Kipi border post and into Greece! Really loved our…

Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel…Wednesday 29 August We left Kusadasi bright and early this morning to get to Ephesus before the cruise-ship crowds arrived. And despite our punctual arrival, the place was already swarming with tourists from across the globe. If you ever go to Ephesus, get there very early!

Seeing all the ancient buildings was definitely worth it though – from the Celsus…
