A home for my personal foodie ramblings, culinary attempts, information on local produce and also for collecting my mum's recipes and culinary teachings, before she leaves this mortal coil!
I make my own beefburgers as most bought ones contain rusk or breadcrumbs, which is fine if you don’t suffer from coeliac disease. Not only can you get your butcher to mince you some good quality free-range beef but you can get more for your (read full article)
Coronation chicken is the sort of British dish that makes the French laugh (it is after all, a mixture of meat and fruit, something they find alien). This recipe takes Coronation Chicken to a new level, making it into a respectable salad. The sauc (read full article)
It seems ages since I wrote a blog post, what with the house move to a whole new county, taking over our lives for the last 4 weeks! Broadband has now finally been installed and there are fewer boxes in each room, allowing us to start cooking again (read full article)
As our home looks like a warehouse, with all the boxes about the place ready for the big move, I decided I would make something quick for supper so that it didnt create too much more mess and washing up! And as it was my girlfriends birthday over t (read full article)
The Lamb Pasanda Curry I blogged about at the start of the year, has become a firm family favourite and we have had it a few times since then, loving it every time. Having been given another shoulder of lamb, I decided I would try a new lamb curry f (read full article)
Having bought the sweet potatoes today, to go with some steak from our local farm shop, I decided to do something new with them. A normal family favourite is to cook them in the oven and sprinkle some paprika over them for the last five minutes. T (read full article)
I always enjoy cooking recipes that have great preparations to them, like all the wonderful curries I have cooked recently, with their amazing herbs and spices (I love opening the cumin spice pot every single time just for the smell). But what is a (read full article)
It’s been a couple of weeks since I cooked up a curry for the blog, and with the inevitable house move on the horizon for my new job, we have started to use up the food in the freezer for our suppers. I found some beef fillet and some venison (read full article)
I’m still relatively new to making a risotto and after it seemingly being national risotto day on the Good Food Channel the other day, I picked up the first cook book to hand, Gordon Ramsay’s World Kitchen and started looking for one to (read full article)
As Nigella mentions at the start of this recipe, scallops have long been paired with other foods like bacon and chilli. It has even been paired with black pudding in a James Martin recipe. Nigella chose to use Chorizo as it is a combination of the (read full article)
As I said in my last post, at the weekend I wanted to cook something other than a usual Sunday roast after seeing James Martin’s recipe. I love spending time preparing all the food for a roast normally but wanted to see if there was something (read full article)
I really wanted to make something slightly different than a normal sunday roast, so decided to have a go at James Martin’s Cotes de Boeuf with Watercress and Black Beer Mustard (recipe to come). Having written down all the ingredients I didn (read full article)
After making the Tomato Sauce, I got all the other ingredients ready to make this Floyd dish. I had no idea how this was going to turn out, so was definitely looking forward to the eating stage and trying it out! The recipe said that it serves 4, d (read full article)
Having had a busy week at work, my girlfriend decided she would try something new from my new curry book as a treat for me. We had some Salmon fillets in the fridge so she chose this goan fish curry for us. I had had a monkfish korai in recent wee (read full article)
Wanting to blog about a recipe for others to try on Burns Night (on the 25th January), I asked my mum to see if she had any old family recipes that I could cook up and write about. She found me an old recipe for Scotch Broth from forty years ago, w (read full article)
This is one recipe that I will let my mum explain… “Giles Chicken” is a family favourite that we have been enjoying for many years. I dont know where Giles came up with the recipe but it is a quick and delicious dish that everyone (read full article)
Having been given a shoulder of lamb over the Christmas holiday, I thought it was about time to cook it but wanted to try something new with it. While I was looking through my new Curry Bible that I was given for Christmas, I found the following de (read full article)
This New Year’s Eve was a big family and friends celebration and so we decided on making it a curry night. While I made a usual Korma favourite, my mum made her Thai Green Chicken Curry which always goes down well. While stuck at their home i (read full article)
This has been a household favourite since I was given Delia’s ‘How To Cheat At Cooking’ for my birthday in 2008. It is so simple to make and is great for a lighter dinner – the Watercress Mayonnaise is a perfect addition. We (read full article)
Having had a Curry recipe book given to me for Christmas, I thought it was about time to try a quick one after a long day in the office. Having all the ingredients apart from the Galangal, I popped by the shops on the way home to pick some up. It (read full article)
