Scottish Mum Blog - Writing from Aberdeen
Walking in the rain, or blogging in the snow. On the path to enlightenment, wear comfy shoes.
As a Scotty Brand Blogger, I am loving the boxes of goodies arriving with instructions on how to make something that I haven’t made before. This week, the challenge was to make Carrot and Orange soup, which I managed quite easily. I had a couple of packs of carrots torn open and being chopped within [...]
This Guest Recipe from Claire, aka ninjakillercat.blogspot.com/ and @needaphone on Twitter sounds amazing. Sadly Claire didn’t manage to take a photograph, so that means that I will just have to go and make it so that I can get one. I’m sure my boys will love giving it a try. ———————————- The trick to this recipe is to [...]

Image: graur razvan ionut / FreeDigitalPhotos.net I’ve just finished watching the Panorama programme about Elder Care, where a woman tells her story of how her mother with Alzheimers was abused by the very people who should have cared for her.

Guest Recipe from Graeme Taylor of Scots Larder, and also found on Twitter as @scotslarder ——————————————— I love seafood, you can’t beat it for freshness, flavour and for sheer enjoyment of experimentation and it goes so well with so many ingredients, it complements chorizo, and the fresh herbs and white wine make it zing.

That topping is perfection by the look of it. ——————————– This recipe is actually for a carrot cake but it makes a big cake which can sometimes be a bit OTT, particularly if you like to watch [...]
Making potato soup is a big Scottish thing I think. It’s often so cold here that soups are ideal for little snacks and to warm us up when we’re cold. One of Scottish Mum and no measuring recipes again, and I just judge how much goes in by the size of my pot. I [...]
Todays Guest Post is from theperfectbadmummy.wordpress.com, who is @mrsaimeehorton on Twitter. Her recipe for vodka and tonic battered fish & wedges is not something I would have ever thought to try, but it sounds very tempting to give a go. ——————– Food for 2 I get a little bit excited when I learn a new kitchen “skill”.

This is a featured guest post. Who couldn’t use a little extra advice these days about what to buy for their teens. I had a look at their gifts and I am sorely tempted to get the birthday chocolate pizza for my eldest, mixing the two things that he loves would be fabulous instead of a [...]

The website has a lovely little shop for Indian spices and I was quite surprised to learn that Turmeric is actually known for it’s antiseptic properties. ——————————————————————– Egg Roast (Mutta Roast) Ingredients (serves 2-3) 3 hard-boiled eggs, [...]
