Recipes, failures, discoveries and occurrences from a tiny kitchen in the UK owned by a very health conscious and daring 20-something.
If you thought this was going to be one of those blogs that sadly and slowly dies because their owner gives up on them, you’re wrong! As the title says, I am still alive and kicking and somewhat cooking. Sadly, I am not cooking as much as I use (read full article)
Lately I’ve been reading a lot about weight loss, diets and nutrition. I’m interested in nutrition, and I’ve been on a weight loss program for almost 1 year. I was surprised at all the crazy diets you can find around. Are we really (read full article)
The end of the holiday season saw me with a few more pounds than usual and tighter jeans. I know I am not alone with this weight gain. Just take a look around and see all the ads for slimming product and clubs, gym promotional fees and diet specials (read full article)
Sorry for not having posted anything in almost 3 weeks, my excuse is that I spent Christmas and New Year with my parents in Spain. One week at their house in Madrid and one week in Andalusia. Being the one who was visiting, my parents were going to c (read full article)
These days we spend most of our day rushing from one place to the other, and don’t really have 2 hours to prepare food. Most often than not, I do actually have time to prepare lunch. I usually only work for about an hour very early in the morni (read full article)
Porridge. If you asked a few weeks ago my first answer would have been uuggghhhh! Yet, being a member of the community of UK residents has made me expand my culinary experiences. Swede (rutabaga, for all Americans out-there) is an example. I had neve (read full article)
English is a lovely language, but there is a reason why some food names just don’t get translated. Would you rather eat “cuernitos de grasa” or “little lard horns” with your cup of tea or coffee today? They taste definit (read full article)
Crimes against food latest episode deals with curries. And, of course, after listening to it, I felt like eating curry. A few days ago I bought a nice pumpkin, so I started looking for pumpkin lentil curry recipes. There are tons! Way too many to dec (read full article)
Lately I’ve been researching Thai cuisine, as I’ve been able to buy several staples in Thai kitchens. These are the result of that research. Many are well-known websites, but that are all helpful. either for information or recipes. Websit (read full article)
My freezer is probably one of the worst freezers to have been ever made. So, every 2 or 3 months I have to get everything out and get rid of all the ice that’s formed on the walls. And there is a whole lot of ice to get rid of. The good thing a (read full article)
These past days I’ve been mainly relaying on food I had on the freezer and quick cooking ingredients, like couscous and 5-min polenta. My car and my boyfriend are to blame here. I was involved in a car accident (I was the accidentee) when I was (read full article)
I change supermarkets almost on a weekly basis. I don’t like routine a lot and I get to visit different parts of the county and neighbouring towns. Whenever I go to a new market or supermarket I walk around just to get a feel for the place, and (read full article)
After yesterday’s debacle with my oat cookies, I decided no cookie, biscuit or similar edible involving oats would beat me again. I had a mission, you see. My pride was hurt, and I’m a Scorpio, we don’t do well with hurt prides. I w (read full article)
I felt like making oat cookies, but the experiment had some unexpected results. And I’m really happy with it, I think they look great, and taste great. I’m guessing it has something to do with using vegetable spread rather than butter. It (read full article)
In case you don’t know(and most probably, you don’t), chimichurri is a staple in the cuisine of Argentina. It is a very spicy sauce, that is usually used to condiment meats at barbecues (asado) or to marinate meats before cooking them. Th (read full article)
Today it was farmer’s market day in my town. We only have it once a month, and truth is I usually forget about it. This morning I managed to remember. And boy, was I glad. Our market is quite small, but there a huge variety. I ended up buying o (read full article)
My first take on the Saturday Colour Challenge, this time around, it’s red. Quite a lot of red food going round. In the end I decided to not buy anything and use things I already had home. The line up: Tomato, beetroot, tomato paste, paprika an (read full article)
I noticed one thing yesterday night. I knit and crochet, and a lot of times I knit thing using one colour. Last knit I was knitting a never-ending pink scarf, that is meant to use up all my pink stash (and there is a lot of pink stash), and there are (read full article)
A few days ago I went to the supermarket and found a mushroom sale. About 800 gr for just £1.50. I couldn’t pass up on that. The fact that mushrooms don’t last a lot, means that I’ve been cooking pretty much everything with mushroo (read full article)
I’ve been cooking this dish for ages. During my childhood I always had lunch with my grandparent while my parents worked. One day when I was about 10, my grandfather and I found ourselves hungry and with my grandmother in bed with a cracked hea (read full article)
