440g tin diced tomatoes

Nuts & Bolts

1. Pre heat oven to 200c.

2. SAUCE : In a medium pot on low heat add oil, onions and garlic, saute until soft. Add tomatoes, sugar, water and season to taste. Simmer sauce for 10-15 minutes. Stirring occasionally.

3. FILLING : In a large mixing bowl add all the ingredients and mix well. Using one portion of mountain bread  leaving a gap  of 3cm from the end place filling along the mountain bread then roll mountain bread up. Repeat until all 6 mountain bread sheets have been filled and rolled.

4. In a baking dish add a small amount of sauce to the bottom of the dish. This will stop the cannelloni from sticking to the bottom. Layer all cannelloni along the dish. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked.

I live in Adelaide (Australia) with my husband, my two adorable Norwegian cats ( Zeus and Zena ), a chicken, and a pigeon who now also thinks that he is a chicken! My ancestry is French so it goes without saying that my favourite place is Paris. The food, culture and atmosphere of Paris is nothing short of amazing.

I am a self taught home cook who loves big flavours in food. My passion for food surfaced when I was 10 years old, watching TV chef Ian Hewitson and learning different techniques. Since then, the food of Adrian Richardson and Jamie Oliver has been my inspiration. I love how one can create a healthy full flavoured meal from just the simplest of ingredients. I especially love chilli and garlic and use them in most of my food.

I enjoy hosting dinner parties for friends and family. Curries and rustic style dishes are my firm favorites and I know that my family and friends all agree! Just place it all in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves enjoying great food with good company.

I create flavoursome low calorie recipes which are featured on the internationally known website Weigh Yourself Slim.

Whilst I enjoy cooking I still love to go out to restaurants, especially when you discover ones with amazing food and that you must try and replicate at home!

So welcome to CCKFOOD. It is my creative playground where I am able to share my love of good food with you all. Enjoy.
