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 perfect for a dinner party (just tell your guests to watch out for bones!). TO DRINK: A full-bodied, oaked Chardonnay pairs well with the sweetgrapes, rich bacon and gamey meat
If you can get started a couple of hours early, homemade pizza is an easy, delicious meal option and so much cheaper than takeaway. It’s also healthier and…
Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Monday 3 September Another splendid day of sight-seeing! We left Thessaloniki just after 7am and passed the impressive Mount Olympus en route to Meteora, which is one of the largest clusters of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece. The six monasteries are all built on top of these ridiculously high sandstone rock pillars and are said to have been built in the 16th century. When you see how high up the monasteries are, you cannot begin to imagine the engineering involved…

Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Friday 31 August It’s safe to say I love Assos! Most especially the quaint port of Assos! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more exquisite place. Another one of Turkey’s hidden gems that I’ve decided I must return to see again at another stage. We filmed the ruins of the Temple of Athena this morning, high up on a mountain, and then went to the port to explore and shoot some more. It is the most unbelievably…

Dominique Brown is F&HE’s features writer. She’s the resident Durbanite who constantly craves sunshine and wine. An avid cook and consumer of food, she’s dabbled in urban veggie-growing and chicken-rearing. If you meet her she will probably try to feed you.

Using their extensive range of Mexican products, they have created a range of fun and easy recipes to give Mexican meals a new twist. I needed to be rolled out after being plied with course…
Not strictly a tequila sunrise, but close enough. Although oranges are a winter fruit, we couldn’t resist making a tequila-based summer drink, and we all adore the tang…
Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Monday 27 August Spent the morning at the Rumi museum in Konya, learning about Sufis. Then off to Psidian Antiochi, where the apostle Paul spent a few years working as a tent maker, as well as ministering to people. The remnants of the old town, including the theatre and church, were fascinating to see. After that, we hit the road again – en route to another UNESCO World Heritage Site in the form of Pamukkale (the cotton castle). We’ll explore…
