I’ve wanted to start posting recipes to my blog and website, but I’ve been pretty intimidated, especially when it comes to food photography. I tried doing my own photography for the website, they it didn’t turn out; so I asked an amazing photographer and friend, Amanda from Chicks that Click. She did an amazing job and I was very happy!
Well, food photography skills aside, I’ve decided to just go for it and post my very first recipe to my blog. This isn’t an original recipe, I’ve adapted this one and “translated” it to be more North American friendly. We make this a lot on the farm. It’s quick, it’s one dish (not a lot of clean up!), and with 3 of us with food allergies/intolerances, I can easily adapt it to suit everyone.
