The idea for this recipe came for me a while ago while I was eating Gorgonzola straight out of the fridge (as you do). I was crumbling pieces of Gorgonzola off the block and tried it with all different things from the fridge. Some grapes, a slice of apple and finally a sugar coated almond. All of them were just delicious. It’s no secret that Gorgonzola (and any blue cheese) goes really with sweet flavours and this got me thinking. With Festive season entertaining and cooking coming up, many people are looking for easy ideas to impress friends and family (and mother-in-laws) and often, you are not cooking a full…

As I write this post, my teeth are chattering and my knees are shaking. It’s officially Winter! It’s been chilly for the last couple of weeks but this morning, my hot tea doesn’t seem to have the same power as it did a few weeks ago. But don’t think I’m complaining, not for a second! I’m a good and proper Winter baby. Born in the middle of Winter must surely have an effect on how you feel about the season and I just absolutely love it. By August I start yearning for the freshness and ‘lightness’ of Summer but other than that, I love everything about Winter. I especially love…
After watching one of my newest cooking show addictions, Meat & Potatoes (Food Network) this weekend, I was left inspired and motivated. I’ve said before how much I like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri and Meat & Potatoes follows that same guideline, but amps it up a bit by visiting fine-dining establishments as well as the hole-in-the-wall kind of places. And then of course, the focus is on all types of meat & potatoes. This weekend’s episode showed the awesome Josh Henderson of Skillet Street Food making his bacon jam which he serves on burgers with Gorgonzola cheese. “Bacon JAM?” I hear you ask. Yes! Bacon Jam….
The very first time I ever had Gnocchi was at a small Italian restaurant in Pretoria and I had absolutely no idea what I was ordering. All I knew was that I liked the sound of the Gorgonzola sauce that came with it. I think I must’ve been about 14 or 15 at the time and I know that I was probably the only teenager who was willing and eager to eat rotten cheese. Even now, 10 years later, most of my friends don’t like the idea of Gorgonzola, or anything stronger than Cheddar or Gouda. I am very fortunate in that regard. My mother raised us as very adventurous…
Ever since tasting Chef Nic van Wyk’s amazing Gorgonzola Risotto with Honeycomb, I haven’t been able to get that amazing flavour combination out of my mouth. I know it sounds strange, the first time I heard he was going to serve us that I also had to think twice about it, but it just works. So I’ve been thinking and contemplating for weeks now about giving that amazing dish my own little twist. Even though Honeycomb is easy to make, I wanted something easier and something I could call my own. And then it dawned on me. I absolutely LOVE pears with Gorgonzola..and it seems so do half of the…
