Chicken Liver, Bistek Style . The best method of cooking chicken liver is either Adobo or Bistek Tagalog style. For today I want to share my version of Chicken Live,r Bistek Style . There is no special about it just that the liver should be marinated, the marinade is discarded after use, I do not re-use the marinade of my liver Bistek . For the sauce I just add fresh soy sauce and kalamansi. Buy the freshest chicken liver. Cooking is fairly simple, it is basically similar to my other Bistek dishes .

Having a slow cooker is very useful, as it means I can put something on in the morning and come home to a meal that would have taken ages to cook otherwise. In the spirit of the World Cup, I found a Brazilian recipe for a beef and black bean stew. I had a packet of cubed stewing beef that I put in the slow cooker along with half a can of black beans, a large squeeze of tomato puree, a small squeeze of garlic puree, a quarter of a teaspoon of chilli powder, half an onion (chopped) and two cups of water. I put the slow cooker onto 'auto' setting, which means it cooks for about 4 hours then keeps the food warm until you are ready to eat. I served it with some Jersey royal potatoes and vegetables, though I guess rice might have been more traditional. I'm sending this to Chris at Cooking Around The World for his World Cup challenge.

I have a lot of cookery books. I realised that again when Dom at Belleau Kitchen published this month's random recipe challenge, and asked us to turn to the 40th page of our 40th book and make whatever was on that page. My recipe books are in alphabetical order - thanks to my boyfriend when he was bored on evening - and I counted along; when I got to 40 I was still only as far as the letter E! The book in question was Easy Cupcakes from Marks & Spencer and on page 40 were Queen Cupcakes. I'd never heard of them before and there was no explanation for the name; they seem to be simple cupcakes baked with currants. However, I had some blueberries in the fridge that needed using up - and I don't like blueberries on their own - so I thought Dom wouldn't mind if I adapted the recipe a bit! Makes 12 You need: 115g butter, softened 115g caster sugar 2 eggs 4 tsp lemon juice 175g self-raising flour 100g blueberries, halved 3 tbsp milk This is a very simple recipe. Pre...

This card was put together from a decoupage card pack but you could also cut out the shapes yourself from different coloured card. I made it for a birthday but it would also work really well for Fathers' Day this weekend! The backing paper was part of the set and I simply had to cut out the different shapes and build them up using sticky pads so the image of the man snoozing on the armchair stands out. I added a happy birthday sticker at the top.

Restaurant name : The Drapers Arms Location : Barnsbury Street, Islington, London Description : Gastropub with a nice garden tucked away in a residential part of Islington, opened by the son of Evening Standard restaurant critic Fay Maschler Reason for visit: Pre-theatre snack and drinks with a friend. It was in the right area not too far from the theatre. We ate : As we didn't have much time we decided to share a charcuterie platter and some fish balls which came with mayonnaise. The food was : The fish balls were particularly nice. The atmosphere/service was : We sat outside in the garden and as I arrived first, I sat on a large picnic table. Two people came in and asked if they could sit there too (there were no empty tables left) so I said yes, and they promptly started smoking. A few minutes later they were joined with four of their friends, also smoking and braying with laughter in that Made In Chelsea way. When my friend arrived she had to squeeze on the bench next to me ...

Welcome to our second run-through of the alphabet with Alphabakes, which started with A in April, moved to E in May - and now for the third letter we're staying in the first part of the alphabet. The letters are chosen at random so that's a bit of a coincidence - this month the letter we are baking with is D Remember, you can either make a recipe beginning with D, or use an ingredient (preferably one of the main ones) beginning with D. If you're stuck for ideas, you could have a look at the round-up for the last time we had D, back in January 2013 ! I quite fancy having a go at doughnuts myself.... If you haven't participated before, here's all the information you need: 1. Post your recipe on your blog and link it to The More than Occasional Baker and Caroline Makes , stating the relevant month's host. If you do not have a blog, email us a picture and a brief description of your entry which we will include in the round-up at the end of the month. 2....

Restaurant name : Burger & Shake Location : Marchmont Street, London - between Russell Square and Euston Description : Diner style with casual tables in booths and tiles on the walls with and a varied but meat-heavy and not particularly diet-friendly menu ranging from jalapeno burgers to buffalo wings to chilli dogs and pulled pork sandwiches. Oh, and there's a salad. The restaurant is quite small, nestled among boutiques and cafes on London's trendy Marchmont Street. Reason for visit : Dinner with a friend who lives near here; she recently moved so we wanted to try somewhere new and local. I ate : pulled pork burger, £8.50. I love pulled pork but have never tried it in a burger before so couldn't resist. My companions ate : Cheeseburger, £7.50, and vegetarian burger, £7.75, which consists of a large portobellow mushroom, halloumi cheese (though she is vegan so skipped this), plus lettuce, tomato, cucumber, coriander oil and mayo (again not for the vegan...

The Dot Com Gift Shop sent me these two chocolate moulds to review. If you haven't been to their website before, I urge you to check it out. The Dot Com Gift shop has a range of items for the home and garden ranging from cake stands and chocolate moulds to lunch boxes to candles and cushions. I've bought several things from the site before both for myself and as gifts, and last summer was invited to preview their Christmas range . It took me a little while to get around to using the moulds as I had a particular project in mind, which you will hear more about later. I found the moulds so easy to use and I love the way they are packaged (above) - I think these would make a really nice gift. I decided to use the round moulds to make homemade Rolos. I melted some chocolate and poured a little into each mould so it just covered the bottom, and used the back of a spoon to spread it around the sides. Don't make the layer on the bottom too thin as you want it to hold, but you n...

I described in a previous post how I made my own Rolo chocolates from a mould provided by the Dot Com Gift Shop . They also sent me a heart-shaped mould and some heart-shaped petit four cases to review. I decided not to make chocolates this time however and instead make cake pops. Usually these are on sticks but they taste so delicious I don't see why you couldn't just make them as bite-sized nibbles and enjoy them that way. I had made a chocolate cake that was part of the same project, which you will be able to read about shortly, and had to trim the cake a bit. So I had some leftover cake trimmings which I crumbled up into a bowl. I mixed it with some chocolate buttercream to make a dough. Simply press the mixture into the moulds and place in the fridge for a little while to firm up. As the mould is silicon it is completely flexible, making it very easy to turn the shapes out. You could also dip them in melted chocolate to coat them. The Dot Com Gift Shop also sent ...
