I am very excited to announce the launch of Anna Lou’s Kitchen’s new Website www.annalouskitchen.com

The new website will make it easier for my clients old and new to view my menus.  It will also help you to get a deeper understanding of what Anna Lou’s Kitchen is and how we can help you out with your next function.

The expanding gallery of photos will make your mouth water.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Onto more delicious things……….. FOOD  and whats cooking,  now we are getting into the colder months we can start to think warm hearty meals and a glass of red (the only things I like about Winter).

It’s time to bring out the slow cooker if you don’t have one don’t panic, most dishes can be cooked just as effectively in the oven,   the trick is to sear your meat well first and to make sure you have a dish you can pop in the oven with the lid on.

If you don’t have a recipe  I find searing in a combination of  olive oil and butter increases your flavour don’t forget the salt and pepper,  throwing in some onions, mushies and of course red wine will bring out the best in red meat.

If I am planning a family Sunday at home, I will often get a leg or shoulder of lamb from my favourite butcher ( Exclusive Meats at North Turramurra)  place it in the dish with whole garlic cloves, rosemary and white wine pop the lid on and cook for at least 5 hours at about 140 degrees.

The house will smell fantastic, it will warm it up saving on those heating bills and dinner is ready so you can sit down and relax at the end of the weekend.

Enjoy… next time some ideas on  delicious easy winter desserts.
