WWDH - Mustard and Fennel Pork


 This week’s Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe is Mustard and Fennel Pork. The recipe is online here.

I took liberties with this recipe. I left out the skewers and chose my own sides, including my own choice of fennel salad that I’d already made.

TWD - Apple Pandowdy


This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Apple Pandowdy.

This dessert comprises sliced apples topped with pastry. I went off piste and used filo pastry, because it was supposed to use up pastry scraps, so I wasn’t going to make pastry.


My Pandowdy might look dowdy, but it tasted good - in the tradition of apple pie, you can’t go wrong with apples and pastry.

TWD - Pecan Butterscotch Shortbreads - with Walnuts




This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Peacan Butterscotch Shortbreads. Mine are actually Walnut Butterscotch Shortbreafs.

These biscuits are flavoured with brown sugar, chocolate and nuts.

They are quite delicate, so they made the perfect icecream sandwich:

WWDH - One Pot Ginger Chicken

This week’s Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe is One Pot Ginger Chicken, from Donna’s new book, One Pan Perfect.

Donna was inspired by Hainanese Chicken with the flavours in this dish - ginger, chilli, garlic.



 This is a really tasty and healthy dish, and low fuss to make.

WWDH - Spiced Meatballs with Sticky Chilli Sauce

Kayte is resurrecting Wednesdays with Donna Hay on a casual basis. We may not post every Wednesday, but we will post whenever we make a new Donna Hay recipe.

This week, I made a recipe from Donna’s new book, One Pan Perfect. The recipe is Spiced Meatballs in Sticky Chilli Sauce. There are great Asian flavours in these meatballs - garlic, ginger, green onion and chilli.



 I baked my meatballs instead of frying them, and used a chilli tomato chutney in place of the Korean chilli paste in the recipe. I think these changes went well.

I served my meatballs with cauliflower rice and veggies.

I highly recommend both this recipe and Donna’s new book.

TWD - Cocoa Almond Thumbprints


 Today’s second Tuesday with Dorie recipe (because I am apparently a week ahead with Baking with Dorie) is Cocoa Almond Thumbprints.

These biscuits are compromised solely if ground almonds, coconut, sugar and eggwhite. They are meant to be filled with ganache, but I just baked in a chocolate chip instead.

These biscuits are rather messy and crumbly before baking, and you have to be a bit gentle at that stage to stop them from disintegrating. However, they bake up quite firmly, and are quite healthy with only fat from the coconut and almonds.

TWD - English Muffins



This week’s Tuesday With Dorie (Baking with Dorie) recipe is English muffins.

I  buy English  muffins occasionally but I have never made them myself. It takes a little planning to make them as the process takes 4 hours or so. If you want them for breakfast, you have to start the night before.

I was pleased with how mine turned out - here’s one with ham, egg, cheese and tomato chutney:
